Fryyyy, I love it! And I can't wait for the thirty thousand word edition. Now I want to see Tweeny face off against Banksy.

Tweeny would totally be like, "What? This is a face off? What? PRETTY."

The 30k only has vague references to this. The cop at the end is the mc of it.

"Food," the shopkeeper repeated. ACK. CREEPY.

Can I ask why automaDa industria? I thought it was a typo at first, but you repeated it so often.

Seriously, I love the thread of feverish change that runs through this, and everything to do with the use of graffiti to reflect that change. I will be rereading :D A lot.

Hahaha. Automada because I cannot spell to save my life. I tend to remember things phonetically as I've heard/said them, so for some reason I remembered a 'd' instead of a 't'. Fixed now!

Yes! I thought, well, the same way that personal computers exploded when I was in grade school, the introduction of any eyai type machine would change the world in ways that no one could really predict. There'd be this generation of kids who'd be automatically unemployed and unsure how to react to that.

Aaaaaaaaaah. I barely understand this but I love it. I approve of Tweeny's art and Sandra's fashion sense. <33333

girl_wonder December 8 2009, 22:51:47 UTC

Sandra is the QUEEN of fashion. I'm glad you enjoyed it even if it was a little hard to parse!

I love the history of eyai labor. I think it's brilliant that you considered that.

Sandra and Tweeny's relationship fills me with glee! Can they be together forever?

This "what" is so subtle; you almost look past it, but you don't. It's piercing:

>>The fruit tasted the same, no matter what had picked it.<<

Also:

>>"Be fierce," Sandy said. "You'll blaze when you're ready."<<

EEEE.

Also, just omggraffiti I LOVE YOU ♥ ♥ ♥

Yay! I'm so glad that you liked it. And Sandra and Tweeny are BFFs to the max, Sandy's always like, "Don't get nicked. Oh, yeah, and why are you not wearing cutting edge fashion?"

This is fantastic!

For him it was a feud, it turns out.

Ha! Great characters. I want to know more about Ops so badly.

And the Garden of Eden motif is executed so perfectly. All of your symbols are beautifully ambivalent.

girl_wonder December 10 2009, 23:52:11 UTC

Yeah, Ops is kind of crazy pants.
