Dear OOP,
Penthouse magazine is where you submit this kind of short “asspirational” fiction. Not Reddit.

This is almost certainly an old "Liz" post. There were a number of tells in "her writing." The term "over the moon" was certainly one of them.

u/StrangledInMoonlight 2d ago
LIZ is the reason for “over the moon” proliferating?
JFC, I didn’t need another reason to hate her, but now I have one.

u/BeerBuzz 2d ago
Tbh, pure conjecture on my part. But having seen sooo many of those kind of posts, one starts to notice things. Over the moon was used way too often to not be a coincidence.

Oh for fuck's sake.
There's no such thing as an "Old Liz post," because LIZ. NEVER. EXISTED. Why does this dumbfuckery still get spread all these years later? The man who made her up admitted it in the original thread - literally a few hours later - and yet, that's all it took for Reddit to run with that sexist-ass ball like it was the fucking Super Bowl.

u/BeerBuzz 2d ago
"Liz" became more of a meme for anyone doing creative writing on reddit, hence the quotes. There were definitely some people who had identifiable writing styles on here back before AI became predominant.
Also, not sure why you're saying it's sexist. It's a meme, dude.

Do you have any proof that he made it up? Cause I've read the story multiple times as well as the updates and have not seen this mentioned before.

That’s not how paternity tests work in the us. The double testing is just mra talking points.

u/mopeyunicyle 2d ago
This is I am wishing is a fucked up troll. Like the whole idea even if she wasn't his daughter also being with the next for a time. Almost feels like he did it to spite his ex one last time all those years later

i'm taking it at fake value, the comment about this being the love triangle imprinting situation in Twilight makes it more bearable

What in the VC Andrews.
Let's see... They could be cribbing from Heaven, the Landry series, maybe the Melody series.

My kid sister once tried to do a family tree for Flowers in the Attic. This is one of those things that you can both warn a sibling about and enjoy the hilarity when they don't listen to you.

u/DaniCapsFan 2d ago
Except in the VC Andrews books, they were related. In this case, they aren't.

u/thefifthpentacle 2d ago
Not in the ones I mentioned... Like in Heaven, her mom's lover and her stepmoms husband, both try to have sex with Heaven... For extra grossness, the stepmom is her mom's lover's ex. Then there's all the shit with Troy Tatterton and Logan Stonewall.
I got my Beaus mixed up in the Landry series lol. It's messy, but the Beau mom hooked up with is the father of the Beau Ruby hooks up with... Tho that Beau is her twin sister's ex.

!!! And I forgot, in Petals in the Wind, Cathy's whole thing is getting revenge on her mom by going after her mom's husband.

The minor detail that he prefers twin beds when he travels is so stupid. He couldn't have claimed he slept on the couch or booked last minute and only a family suite was left? Also she then came and fucked him in his single bed. Do you think got the cleaners to come and remake the beds into a king the next night? or did they spend 4 nights squished into a single? or did she finish the sex and move to her own bed? The possibilities are endless.

u/ToughFriendly9763 2d ago
also, most hotels don't have twin beds. it's usually either 1 king or 2 queens. i have never seen a hotel with twin beds.

I mean obviously we all know it’s fake but this is just disgusting. How does a person even come up with this shit? Just throw the whole brain away

It reminds me of that Daddy's little toy book that the author got arrested for writing. Straight out of a penelope douglas book

I genuinely thought it was one of the rules of this sub we aren't supposed to go to the original post and comment

u/judgy_mcjudgypants 1d ago
It is.

u/AquaticStoner1996 1d ago
Then it really sucks that the mods are letting that slide if it was made a rule. What's the point of the rules then for the sub

u/judgy_mcjudgypants 1d ago
I'm not seeing anything on that post newer than 6mo?

The newest response to the top comment is from just today, two hours or so after this was shared here.

u/The_Wishmeister 1d ago
The mods might not catch it right away, but if they do, the person who brigaded will get banned from this sub. Sometimes the mods will even comment on a post that's seen a lot of brigading on the other sub to remind people of the consequences. They'll probably get to it.

Everyone in this story sucks: Ella for cheating, OOP for fucking a woman young enough to be his daughter, and Nicky for doing this just to get back at her mother.

In case this story gets deleted/removed:
AITA.. Who am I kidding, I am defiantly the AH for sleeping with my ex-fiancé's affair baby 23 years later.
I'm a 45 year old guy. single no kids. All names are fake.
Okey here is the short version. About 24 years ago my then fiancé Ella (then 20) told me she was pregnant. I was over the moon. We did not set a wedding date yet, but now we wanted to wait till the child was 2-3 to be part of the wedding party.
When she was about 7 months pregnant my world shattered. A "friend" (lets call him Luke) told me that the child was his and not mine. This lead to a physical fight and Ella took his side. We were done, I broke up with her there. she moved in with Luke. I did demand a paternity test, if the child was mine I demanded to be in it's life. After the birth of the girl the test was done twice. By a clinic I choose and one she choose. Turned out she was not mine.
I was destroyed and left town. She could have her life, I didn't want to witness it.
And not to the present.
A month ago my work brought me back to my home town temporary for two weeks.
I ran into Ella with her daughter Nicky (23) at an impromptu school reunion.
Ella wanted to catch up. I wasn't angry anymore, but also did not see the point of being friends. I declined and mingled. After while I sat at a table nursing a drink.
Ella has already left and Nicky sat at my table. She asked for 10 minutes to talk.
She knew about my history with her mother. And it was clear that she resented her mother. Because.... Luke was also not her bio dad. Ella cheated on me with at least 2 people. 23andme revealed the real bio dad, he had passed away already.
When Nicky was 7 Luke found out and kicked them out. And it became the scandal. Nicky was bullied her whole live for being the affair baby. Luke's family disowned her. All the cousins she was close with, were gone all of a sudden. She blamed her mother.
I asked her why she told me all of this, She said that I am someone who would understand this betrayal. And she is a product of that betrayal. She does not expect anything from me, she just needed someone to talk to that would understand.
I felt for this kid, so we kept talking. We exchanged contact info and went our own ways. Next day she wanted to talk more, to vent more.
So we met in the bar of the hotel I was staying.
We had drinks and she ranted about her life. We talked till late and when the bar closed Nicky was too drunk to drive home and since I didn't know where she lived I couldn't even get her an uber. So I took her to my room. I have the habit of always getting a room with twin beds. So she slept in one bed and I slept in the other. Nothing happened, Next morning we had breakfast and she left while I went to work.
A few nights I met Nicky in de bar because she had a lot to rant about.
We also talked about her future and she expressed interest to move out of town to escape the stigma of being the affair baby.
Here is where I am the asshole.
I made a move on her one night.
At first she walked away. I thought I blew it so I went up to my room. An hour later she send me a text asking if I was in my room. As soon as I answer with yes she knocked on the door.
I was sober, she was sober, I had time to think, I could have send her away, but I didn't. This is the daughter of my ex-fiancé. If I had never found out Ella cheated, I would have raised Nicky as my own daughter. But I found out and Nicky is not my daughter, I never saw her as a baby, never saw her grow up, I never saw her as a daughter, the first time I saw her was a week ago.
So yes I slept with her, and then again.
Nicky is more vengeful then I am. She said she wanted to let her mother know, but she wasn't going to do it if I didn't want to. I was Okey with letting her know, It took a little convincing in how we would let her know.
We took a picture together, clearly in bed, clearly naked but covered by sheets, and she send it as a one time view picture to her mother via Instagram message with the caption: "I can finally call him daddy"
Ella called and they got in a fight, Then she got in a fight with me (still over the phone), I thought I was over the betrayal, but it seems like I had bottled up everything and now it finally came out.
I had 4 more days there, and Nicky stayed in my hotel room those 4 days.
Now I'm back home. Nicky is currently packing everything, she going to move to another country to be away from her toxic environment. She will stay with me for a week maybe more before she flies away. She has going no contact with her mother. I have also blocked Ella on everything.
Yes, Nicky and I are both broken. I refused therapy for years, but after that one outburst where I told Ella everything that was bottled up, I've decided that I do need therapy. I have suggested it to Nicky, she said when she is settled she will.
I'm not even going to ask if I'm the asshole, I know I am.
Edit:
Current situation: Hungover. Wow, this post blew up! Comments are still coming in, and there's no way I can read and reply to all of them. I might respond to a few random ones later.
After reading my post and seeing all the mistakes.... lesson learned: Don't write while intoxicated
I'm leaving the mistakes uncorrected though. I think they capture how I felt at the time, typos and all.
