EDIT: I must be slipping. I forgot "focus on a single twit".

Post by: KingKalamari on March 18, 2019, 08:29:05 am: Alright, having listened to this episode I have two important questions regarding Caine Deathwalker and the book series in which he stars:

1. I might have missed it, but was there an actual reason Caine was murdering those bikers in that bar? It seemed very much like it was just because he didn't like their gang name...
2. After listening to the snippets read in the episode, and with the knowledge that there are, like, a dozen books in this series I have to ask: How is there anyone left alive in the universe for Caine to fight after book two?

Post by: LINDA on March 18, 2019, 08:30:51 am: I used to work with someone whose side gig was urban fantasy/paranormal romance writing and what I have learned from her is that genre literary agents refuse writing of a quality above joss whedon and the trendiness of tropes is the measure by which books live or die.

So really the only thing keeping morgan blayde from the shelves of barnes & noble is a cursory edit to the blurbs

On a similar note: Can I just say that, as someone who's been trying to learn how to write, the general popularity of Urban Fantasy and other such "YA" fiction has become the most goddamned annoying thing in the universe every time I try to look up writing advice I have to wade through pages and pages of garbage-ass articles about shit like "How to Write the Next Hunger Games", "[Writing Advice Topic I am Searching for]...For YA Authors!" or articles that present themselves as generalized writing advice but whose examples only consist of popular YA books.

I do not need articles telling me how to specifically write YA, Google!

Post by: Shell Game on March 18, 2019, 01:39:47 pm: I guess since "nice" is such a bad word you should make ballp.it switch each occurrence of it to "monstercock."

This ep feels like such a throwback, I love it! Like being visited by some old, weird friends that tell me about bad things. (So my actual friends I guess.)

Post by: EYE OF ZA on March 18, 2019, 06:13:30 pm: The fight scene was kind of amazing to me, because it's written exactly like how a sixteen year old who owns katanas would write a fight scene. All the complicated maneuvers and really specific blows, all the stuff like "by moving around them in a circle I became impossible to hit," it's just such a pure distillation of that kind of narcissistic adolescent thought that it almost loops back around and becomes art again. I'm an author and I don't think I could write a scene that better captures the Sweatpants Ninja essence better than this.

I really appreciated the surreptitious "hruh" when the werewolves came up.

Post by: Dr. Buttplug on March 19, 2019, 06:07:57 pm: The blurbs remind me of the screeds at the beginning of every issue of Claremont/Miller's run on Wolverine. Couldn't find a complete version but they all end with this type of formulaic thing. (https://m0vie.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/wolverine3.jpg)
