It's my

tfbigbang fic!! God, I'm so excited. I've been dying to share this for months! There will be new fics posted through the month of August, with some fics (like mine) going chapter by chapter. Visit it here!

My Big Bang artist

coppernickels created gorgeous art featuring scenes from Chapter 2 and Chapter 4! She was so patient with my very out of order draft during this process—thank you! You can also find the art on tumblr!

And thank you again and again to

megatronwasright for being a great beta, for telling me when things weren't working, and most of all for cheering me on.

Ethics and Employee Management is basically a You've Got Mail AU where MegOP are enormous philosophy nerds—so if anyone wants to ask me for more information about any of the philosophical discussions they have in the fic (most of which are concentrated in Chapter 1) please go for it. (With the caveat that MegOP's opinions are not necessarily my opinions.) I can also recommend further reading if anyone wants to know more about epistemic injustice or philosophy of religion, two of the big things they discuss.
