  1. 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.
  2. 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"
  3. 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.
  4. Com's GFD and Savage Moon, and bascially whatever cathes my eye on Nifty.
  5. 60%, what do you expect, I'm 15! Anyway, it's mostly because I keep up with the Porn world as another part of pop culture. All my gossip blog bookmarks also keep track of Amanda Lapore sightings as well as gallery openings in NYC and whatnot, so me knowing who Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson are and about the Tommy Lee video.
  6. I don't mean for this to be taken the wrong way, but I've come to rely on the Brits' sense of protection of their language. To be fair, if you spread you language across half the free world, you may get some interesting results, but it does help to have someone keeping an eye on us colonials.
  7. Have there ever been any other GA couples? I suppose I'm still relatively new here. Anyway, wow, that's great.
  8. I think you have to request to be moved to the Authors group, but you can post it in the Library.
  9. Happy Birthday, Vic
  10. Yeah, but it was a brilliant coming out metaphor. Something more relateable to the real world without being obvious.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Three words: "Gone From Daylight"
  17. I think you have a knack for advertising
  18. I love it... When people's shirts match their eyes. (I'm weird like that)
  19. I liked the story. Acccording to your intro, it sounds like you started the story for the same reasons I did mine.
  20. The next four days have officially ceased to exist.
  21. I know that do base a lot of my characters partially on myself or people I know. I find it easier to understand my charatcers and take them places, but the people I know and myself are multi-dimensional enough that I can just break of little "pieces" of them upon which to build a charatcer. Kind of like growing a plant from a clipped stem.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. Another cute comedy, drama, serious issues and love story in its own way: "Relax, It's Just Sex" I am sure there are tons more but my brain is on shut down the computer and go to sleep mode. Michael <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mine's more "we're about to shoot up our school so let's have sex in the shower for no reason."
  25. Well, don't expect rembrandt, but I'll volunteer.
