I'll read anything Cola writes, because the dark stuff always comes from a real place. -- Einhander
I'm pretty sure I'm that annoying fangirl who can't stop praising some of the writers on here, sort of the Scootaloo to their Rainbow Dash. (Only less cute than Scoots.)
I read almost anything. (The number of humanized or HiE fics I've read, I can count on one hand. Damn hard sell.)
I write . . . okay, let's be honest, I write a lot of tragedy, and I lean towards sad, dark, and romance. (At least lately.) I do include explicit scenes in some stories, and I even have one or two clopfics in the Gears Of My Mental Machine, but mostly I just want to write about what characters do and feel.
I'm getting back into producing good writing.
I miss Roger Ebert.
I remember seeing him on television, telling me about movies I didn't know if I'd ever see, making me wonder about all of them. Little sponge for information I was those days, I was rapt. He was ranking them! I was fascinated by the things he had to say before I could understand most of them properly in a cultural context.
These are a few of his quotes.
When I am writing, my problems become invisible, and I am the same person I always was. All is well. I am as I should be.
That. That so hard.
I believe empathy is the most essential quality of civilization.
A sentiment I agree with in general, and even manage to remember at times.
If you understand why "Kill Bill" is a good movie and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is not, and "Bad Santa" is a good movie and "The Cat in the Hat" is not, then you have freed yourself from the belief that a movie's quality is determined by its subject matter. You instinctively understand that a movie is not about what it is about, but about how it is about it. You qualify for "Bad Santa."
(emphasis added)
That's how I feel about art in general. It's not about what it's about; it's about how it is about it.
And fuck yeah, I loved Bad Santa.

Probably not, but if I ever get more mentally well adjusted it might happen. I'm guessing a 1/1000 chance, sorry.

Well, thank you. ^_^ I rarely come on, but this was a nice comment to find when I did. (I snuck back through the login door to read Naked Singularity again because it makes me laugh so much. I kind of needed a laugh.)
I hope I have reason to call someone an elitist taint jockey someday. It's just such a wonderfully unexpected phrase.
