    50 Shades began life on the web as Twilight fanfiction - hence the similar line delivery, the over use of de-saturation filters and the similar appearance of the characters. He could be the stand in for Edward and she would make a great Bella if Bella had 'lived' to be in her twenties. I can happily file this away as "it'll be shit".

    I would agree with Trebs: if you want to start understanding sci-fi, then Asimov is the way to go. the man knew his stuff. There are also a few Kurt Vonnegut titles which you might find interesting (personally I am a big fan of Cat's Cradle). For more recent and very heavy sci-fi you could try Iain Banks, who was a wonderful, wonderful writer. Personally I like his dark fiction stuff as Ian Banks, but his sc-fi is very good. For what I call "non-sci-fi-friendly-sci-fi" I point in the direction of the Anne McCaffrey Dragon's of Pern series, a set of books which introduce sci-fi elements slowly as not to scare the reader. Like JamasSavik said, it looks like magic at the beginning and then it is explained in science. Good luck.

    last movie that we started watching and failed to get to the end of because it was so goddamn boring was Captain America. As for weird "well that was shit" experiences, there was a black and white film called "The Cat People" in which a woman meets a man at a zoo, and he turns out to be a panther (of course), has sex with her to turn her into a panther some of the time. there's a lot of staring off into the distance and scenes generally conveying that people have forgotten their lines and at the end of the film she (the lady/panther) is being kept in a zoo by a guy who knows what she is and as far as can be told waits for the full moon (I think, it's been a while) so he can sleep with her. it's weird.

    oscillate James - this is not how this game works. take the two letters of the previous word and use them as the first two letters of the next word. have a go.

    I think Oli prefers simply not to think on it at all. poor boy.
  15. Sasha Distan
    sorry nosty. sorry.
  16. Sasha Distan
    actually, Oli only though his parents got the dog to replace him because it was so quick. in truth, his father's just been waiting for him to move out so that he can get the dog he wants having waited for so long. When they bought Ruff, who turned out to be Oli's dog, he his dad's plan then was to get a girl.Sorry, extra trauma.

    sorry, i can supply counselling...
  18. Sasha Distan
    i'm awful but wonderful, no?
  19. Sasha Distan
    planned? Remember in chapter 1 when the guy who sold Ruff to Oli said to his dad, "I know you wanted a girl but..."Ruff was never supposed to be Oli's dog. Of course he planned it.
  20. Sasha Distan
    sorry about that.hope is good. hold onto it.
  21. Sasha Distan
    yeah, ugh sounds about right.can't say anything else. spoilers.
  22. Sasha Distan
    to be fair this is probably the most terribly awful thing that i will do to him. probably.I think Oli is just as freaked out by the fact that his dad is cheating on his mom and he is by who his dad is cheating with.
  23. Sasha Distan
    oops.
  24. Sasha Distan
    Aww, Irri! I promise you that all of that chapter including that scene was written about the week when chapter 1 was posted. I promise i didn't do it to you deliberately, but i can't say it wasn't funny!

    thank you Dugh and Hillj for the wonderful things you have said. in a situation such as this, the mounting grief and horror, all that seems appropriate is for me to apologise, mostly to Luke and his family, and a lot to you guys. I'm sorry, it'll get better.
