  1. for some reason, I feel he deserves a grave somewhere, somehow... (wow, this is so me)
  2. You really should get business cards made up.
  3. I'm definitely artsy, frequenting galleries and whatnot (the Met is my Mecca). Recently I've been taking more and more photos, and a friend of mine is also getting me to watch more and more great movies. Other than that, I'm taking classes in typical studio art, and then there's writing.
  4. Yeah, I saw the trailers for that a while before it came out and meant to see it. I didn't know about him being gay, I just thought he was a very strange european. But you're right about the gender bending through the alien motif, it was great. I too long for the golden era of the Factory or Studio 54. Now one is becoming condos and the other is hosting a tragic reprise of Pacific Overtures. Oh well, at least Washington Square park isn't getting a wall. PS, did you mention this in the "Gay Movies" thread? It seems appropriate to announce the DVD there.
  5. Comicality is probably my favorite net author. His stories have made me want to write and ultimately led me to GA where I found out that I'm far from alone in my appreciation for these sorts of stories. before then, aside form Nifty, which I've always thoguht of as mosty pornographic, and a series of unconnected sites hidden in unrelated webrings. Iomfats never struck home with me, but Com's stories were something I could relate to. It wasn't until he was down for the count that I took the plunge to put my own work out there and join the forums.
  6. I agree, Tim Burton is much more suited to what he;s working on now withe new Willy Wonka. Finally, it creates the dark, industrial environment the comic did.
  7. If it were just OJ Simpson, or just Robert Blake, or just Michael Jackson I might not think that celebrity gives one carte blanche to commit terrible crimes. If it were just Michael Jackson, just the Catholic Church, or just the American Boychoir, I might not think that child molestation is the new yoga.
  8. Brilliant, I must immediately show this to my mother, and of course her republican friend who's drunken persona is known as "Mrs. Rush Limbaugh"
  9. I agree that the Zero visit was a better ending as far as those climactic endings for which I love GFD. Not to say I didn't appreciate a little extra before the next installation.
  10. Com's GFD and Savage Moon, and bascially whatever cathes my eye on Nifty.
  11. Have there ever been any other GA couples? I suppose I'm still relatively new here. Anyway, wow, that's great.
  12. I think you have to request to be moved to the Authors group, but you can post it in the Library.
  13. Happy Birthday, Vic
  14. Yeah, but it was a brilliant coming out metaphor. Something more relateable to the real world without being obvious.
  15. Yeah, I would never use multiple POVs to explain the same scene. Then I have "Memeneto" And I always usea border between them. Subtle, without labels like <<<<<<DAMIENS POV>>>>>>> I've seen that done in stories and I hate it.
  16. I'm doing multiple POVs for Underworld, but only until the two protagonists meet and they combine. Until then, I like to think it just builds up. The other POVs come and go as little sideplots in a way from characters who are only there for a bit.
  17. Ironically, you came out with "Savage Moon" rihgt when I was wondering if you;d ever do anything about werewolves. I guess I got my answer. The dark tableaus you create are all ones familiar to me and I love the psychological thriller aspect combined with them.
  18. My suggestion: Write a popluar self-help book, right off the bat you're telling people how to live, and all you need is good PR That turns into boook signings Which turn into seminars whihc turn into a nationwide fan club Which reaches cult-like proportions Pick an "enemy" with which to polarize them. It increases heir attachment and aggression Finally: Pick up where Oprah left off and endorse a politician with the army you've created. Once they come to rely on you for votes, it's a sleigh ride from there to a backstage puppetmaster position a la Rupert Murdoch. Succeed where I failed, "Reaper's 5 Steps to Overcoming Yourself" never even made it to bookstores.
  19. Part nine was fantastic. Zero has always been my favorite of this strange cast of characters and his death did him justice. You are very creative with your assassins, keep up the good work.
  20. Three words: "Gone From Daylight"
  21. I think you have a knack for advertising
  22. I love it... When people's shirts match their eyes. (I'm weird like that)
  23. The next four days have officially ceased to exist.
  24. I just discovered new Diet Coke with Splenda. I am one of the only poeple on earth who doesn't hate diet coke and definitely the only one who won't hate this stuff, but it is aspartame-free so I won't get MS.
  25. In one story I read, half of it was all the sexual tension between roomates "is he or isn;t he?" It was great, I was right there with them, and I felt their anxiety right up until they finally got together. Anyway, halfway through, they hit problems and breakup and then the main charatcer moves, fine. Then he slept with his longtime best friend who always had a crush on him. You think you know where this is going, right? No. The best friend goes off as well, geting a boyfriend. Then, the main character finds a boyfriend at some bar and they fall in love, less ok. But there was none of the emotion in the writing that there was for the other two, I just didn't feel for this couple. I felt it was an anti-climactic ending to the series.
