The other thing is, I wonder what sort of connections Marten might have through everyone at Smif... might he be able to actually get a side gig writing about music, that actually pays (unlike his aborted blog), and might develop into something stable?
Edit: And apparently I'm the one that's pushed the thread into big thread territory.

This storyline is creating so many new forumites (including myself) and I love it.
HeavyP:
I really feel like everyone (both in the forums and in the comic) is blowing the ethical dilemma WAY out of proportion. There is definitely a standard of conduct between coworkers in the workplace, and this might be an issue between two people in a large corporation, if it were a supervisor/subordinate relationship that existed fairly high up the food chain.
They're working at a university library.
Due to his lack of anything remotely resembling a Library Sciences degree, Marten is at best some sort of generic library assistant. I'd posit there's a pretty good chance that his job duties involve little more than what he showed the interns in the montage - basic library and facility upkeep duties. I seriously doubt he has ANY administrative duties at all, those would fall to Tai, especially anything involving hiring/firing or scheduling (if the interns are paid, I can guarantee that is controlled by someone above her, probably the HR unit of whatever department the library falls under). If I had to guess, the interns are doing the exact same thing that Marten is, and he's only marginally "above" them because he's a permanent employee and has been there longer. His actual degree of control over them is likely limited to having them run minor errands or something, and I really can't see how dating one of them could present any kind of conflict of interest.

I'm afraid we are being set up for disappointment this time round. There will be some interference and then another few months before it comes back to this. I'm hoping that I am to be proven wrong!
techkid:
When Claire stopped just being an obsessive book nerd and started to really develop as a character, I had a soft spot for her, particularly after she came out as transgendered (and thank you all the Questionables here who opened my eyes to their world (and indeed sometimes to their own lives), for the good and the bad). You just wanted her to be happy (but not happy enough to actually kill her).
Chances are good that one or the other (or both) will have anxiety meltdowns, but in this moment, I think Hannelore says it best.
