This very short xmas story was mentioned by Eliezer on Facebook: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9915682/1/The-Last-Christmas. I wonder what the ending means (speculations and spoilers welcome, rot13, if you like).

If someone who reads Chinese could translate the line on the final page (rot13-ed), please do.

Santa Claus, according to Google.

For some reason I couldn't copy-paste from that page, so I couldn't Google it myself.

That's odd considering the earlier mention that she didn't believe in Santa.

Ways to deal with the fact that fanfiction.net has sabotaged your computer:

  • Turn off javascript (I'm not going to tell you how to do that)
  • Select all (and copy and paste elsewhere). It will look like it only selected the header, but it actually works.
  • Tell google to translate the whole page from from Chinese to English by putting the URL into the left-hand box and choosing the language to translate from (the default is "detect language," which of course detects English)

fanfiction.com doesn't let you anymore.
