Phantom Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 After taking the time to research our resident Goat (cliff-icus hang-icus) there are a few things I've noticed... 1. He's got issues with Erics (just take a look at LTMP) 2. He's always spotted near cliffs (maybe why he's so fascinated with them) 3. He has a good heart (when it comes to other characters like Cody) 4. He's in denial about being The bastard queen of cliffhangers (I can't remember which forum it came up in) 5. There seems to be quite the number of people on GA interested in a BBQ (and goat being the main course) 6. He seems to make straight tequila the party drink (when I know from experience its a cosmo) That's all I can come up with at this time... feel free to add or correct me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondwriter Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Overall a good summary of things we know. About 3.: does putting readers in utter distress with evil CH actually mean the goat has a good heart? About 4.: one of many titles, but the popular votes eventually settled the matter; though you're right about the denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for #2, a goat would never, not ever, go anywhere near a cliff! #4 is wrong; I almost never use cliffhangers... #5 is definitely right, though I can't imagine why! I need to hide... #6... Sorry, but Tequila shots, along with good scotch on the rocks, are my favorite party drinks. In fact, when I wrote the short story "three for Jake", I was drunk on tequila, after a new year's eve party... A biker party. I don't know how many shots I had.. I know it was more than ten though.

He did admit to using one cliffhanger. He's still got a very long way to go, though. Ahh! But, look at it this way: LTMP is a very long story; 44 chapters so far (It has 47 and an epilogue total). Now, how many chapters ended with, ah, tense endings? Chapter 19 (The reported death while climbing) Chapter 37 (Fire in the Sky, ending in the crippled plane with inbound missiles) and now Chapter 43, with Brandon's dilema regarding whether or not to shoot Eric. That's three, out of 44. That's well under 10%. So, CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryK Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The poor old goat is still in denial. GA members voted you the King of Evil Cliffhangers. You can choose to accept this appellation and be proud of it. Or you can pretend to deny it and let us see you as a cowardly goat who can't deal with reality. The choice is yours: pride or shame?

W_L Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Oh CJ is the king of cliffhangers! It's a good title CJ, look at it this way, you build up your stories and keep the intensity building. Your cliffhangers might get resolved, but things keep building. By the way, life and death cliffhanger count; look at it this way, chapter 44 life and death count could really be over 4-5 million people, so it counts as a cliffhanger too.

In 34 he brought Eric some tequila, they hid in a closet, and Cody kissed Eric before TheBitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
