Mmmm... toast...

Okay... I'll admit it, I let the Thorn and Ash story take me for a while. It's... odd to do that again, and know that I can just concentrate on it. Much as I did on chatsubo when I was writing there. But no one else to really answer to. That's odd, too. No one to meld styles with or concepts with and... that's pretty cool.

Class was odd and cool last night. The last thing I expected out of Jeremiah was a message of hope. Of how to live life, and to just face the consequences and what's really there, in order to do what's necessary, even if it isn't liked, and keep going on to something better.

I think that that and something blackwingedboy wrote broke open something for number 3. That felt right. Staying up until 1 to get it all out wasn't quite the best thing I could have done, in a way, but I really wanted to get out of the way of what I had to write...

Mmmmm. Food for thought. I should go look at Jeremiah. I suspect it's either the economy or global warming but it's tough to shake this sense of impending doom I have when I try to fall asleep.

I've been saving up your writing for after the semester.

Wow, chatsubo... now there's a bit of nostalgia :)

Somehow the group-story-telling aspect of chatsubo reminds me of something I saw on the net somewhere which seemed like an interesting idea... I don't have the URL around, but it was basically a Wiki-Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. Each "node" described your situation and then presented various options for what you could do, just as a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book. You could follow one of the choices and see what happened, or you could use the Wiki aspects of the site to add a new choice to that node and describe what happened if you did that.

When I glanced at it, it was suffering from the problem that when you open something up to the whole world, many people are idiots. I think one of the choices on one of the very first pages was something like "Use my omnipotent powers to destroy the universe." But if you limited access to people you trusted to play by the rules, and/or had some kind of pruning mechanism for getting rid of crap, it could be pretty interesting.

Not that any of that is particularly relevant to what you said, but it reminded me of the Wiki thing and I thought you might find it a neat concept.

I'm really looking forward to reading your thorn and ash posts! They look so cool. Also, your dreams are as vivid as mine :)

(not reading hardly anything right now for some reason, but saving lots of things up for break)
