I walked into a FLGS this afternoon and looked at the meetup board there.

There was a very long advertisement posted, printed and formed to look like a handwritten scroll. One of the points listed was 'if you write or speak in l33t, don't bother'.

The e-mail at the bottom was 'g33k4l1f3@yahoo.com'.

-_-

Soon you can move up to Chat Roulette.

So glad I've hidden the 4th edition and beyond forum. This way I can continue to live in the belief that most people are nice, usually quite rational people who don't get upset for little or no reason.

This is the Internet. It breeds irrationality. Unpossible.

Remind me to do that with Erastil threads.

There are some interesting threads out there though, there is a good one on using WWI style trench warfare (adapted for fantasy) as a setting.

Stop trying to lure me out of the cave. I like the shadow play.

So when a book is about a girl who is the best at something and about the boys (and/or girls) that love her and how she defeats the bad guy, well, that's because she's the protagonist. It is good and right that she be at the center of the story.

Holly Black, in a great post about the usage of the 'Mary Sue' term.


It is so sad when family's suffer such hard and tragic times, my best wishes and thoughts to your family Lindisty.


Why pirates say, "Arrrrrr."

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend. Although that is not likely in the cards for me, since I seem to be developing another cold.

Scarab Sages

Hardly any traffic today, so we are almost at work. Huzzah?

Scarab Sages

Bye for now.

The Exchange

No work for me. Huzzah!

Scarab Sages

Congrats! I suppose I could have done a short work day today. I'm like about 4 hours ahead. But I have a meeting at 1300 today that has to get done, so........

Scarab Sages

Mmmm....Hot coffee is soothing on sore throat.

Scarab Sages

That's what she said!

Scarab Sages

Just figured I'd save you guys time.....

The Exchange

Coffee...

Scarab Sages

But Wolfthulhu, if you have no work today, why are you awake at this ungodly hour? :)

Indeed - one of the good things about working with numerous ex-sailors. There is always coffee!

X-men: First Class has been on HBO lately. So I've watched it like 3-4 times in the last week or so.

Umm...this is the internet, friend!

I find this rant laughable, considering the amount of Gary(*sigh*) Stus that show up in fiction and fanfiction. Both sexes do it. As a lifelong(and currently weeping) GL fan, I've seen this on several occasions. Does the term get overused? Sure. But I think the author of that post and the people responding are splitting hairs a bit. Still, call it whatever you want- if you think a main character/protagonist is unrealistic, then say it's unrealistic- me, I know a Mary Sue/Gary(*sigh*) Stu when I see one, and I have no problem saying so.

Any writer who loves their protagonist too much or projects their own fantasies into said protagonist to the detriment of the overall plot is in danger of losing their reader base. I call this the Rice-Hamilton Effect.


Okay I recognize Rice, don't know who Hamilton is.

Good news: I have tomorrow off.
Bad news: I work Monday.
Pretty sure the boss wanted to give us a day for the holiday but would rather have us work a full day on Monday than a half-day on Saturday.

they've turned kyle into more of a jesus figure than he was before, and that's saying something. They've turned guy into even more of a right wing ultra violent proselytizing nutcase than he ever was, and THAT'S saying something. But worst of all is what they are doing to John. He's quickly becoming an eternal f&!% -up green lantern, like gnort only not NEARLY as funny. He killed mogo. He killed another gl. His reasons for doing so might have been seen as noble if they did not happen within a calendar year of each other and for the exact same angst ridden reason. They are ruining the character, and it's turned gl into a book that I just flip through and b~!+~ about with the guys in the store than actually buy.

And what they've done to the other corps (with the exception of the interesting red lanterns - LOVE YOU bleez and dex -starr!)... Disgusting.

Gimme some nice, shade-producing clouds! Once the temperature creeps above 25⁰ Celsius I don't even like the taste of air. And it's bad for my weight-loss plan, too.

>wiki on Laurell K Hamilton. A textbook example of what can happen when an author goes off the rails with her main character.


Ah, gotcha.

Also, change of plans, off Monday too =D

Morning, all. What did I miss?
