This scene for my Cabin Pressure fan fiction is a complete mess. I pushed to finish it so it has a lot of slapdash connective bits in it. But I do like the main ideas. I want the crew to be talking a little bit about their past relationships and revealing what their view of love has become based on past experience. Here's something for Carolyn, and ( Read more... )

Another piece of the Cabin Pressure fan fiction! I'm thinking of calling it "San Tropez," as the convention of the series is to name the episodes after a significant destination mentioned therein. For those of you who are familiar with the continuity, it takes place after Veduz but before Yverdon-les-Bains. Maybe just after Wokingham. I'd like to ( Read more... )

Another chunk for the Cabin Pressure fan fiction idea I've had! If I've got to write something every day, why not work on the fan fic as long as I'm thinking about it?

But, for some reason, as the evening drew on, the mood struck ( Read more... )

There's a concept in literary analysis known as "Death of the Author," which states that once the written work is finished, it is an entity completely independent of the person who made it and outside the influence of their intentions for it. This is meant to account for input made unconsciously, and for the interaction between the work and how it ( Read more... )

The teaser trailer for Thor 2: The Dark World has been released. It looks fun, though it's hard to tell much about it yet. I remember when the first one came out I had zero interest in seeing it, as I had not really seen just how pretty Chris Hemsworth was in it, and I thought the character of Marvel's Thor was irredeemably stupid. (I kind of still ( Read more... )
