"The funny thing about Stegosaurus... "

[greygirlbeast]

A blustery, cold day today. The sky is that shade of blue. Better I be in here, though I want to be out there. But, tomorrow I will be leaving the House for an autumn foliage excursion to parts north. I only hope that this wind has left a few leaves on the trees

Heh, I have that Dagon edition.

Um...the 1965 Arkham House hardback? I don't suppose there's a chance in heck you'd want to sell it....

I wouldn't take money for it in this condition. The dust jacket is all there, but the paper on the edges of the book flaps is all but worn off. The flaps are there, but barely holding on. (It'd probably look nice if you put a Mylar cover on it.) It's also a fourth printing, according to the front flap ('fourth huge printing' or something like that). But if you want it for sentimental reasons, I'll send it your way.

Really? You're sure?

I think you just made my day. Maybe my week.

Yay for the people at SighCo. I'm currently wearing that design as a tshirt.

They have so many cool shirts it makes me hurt.

[vulpine137]

Yeah, most of my non-work wardrobe is sighco stuff. I really need to invest in a few of their workshirts to keep my job a happy fun place :) I also like sending out stuff of theirs to friends. It's amazing how easy it is to find things for my geeky friends.

Ok, maybe this will be of little help, but last night I had a dream in which you'd written a story called "The Patience of Dragons."

Also, I'm rereading Uncle Silas by J. S. Le Fanu, and this line made me think of you and your work: "And she laughed, and it would not have been a bad laugh for a ghoul."

Hmmmmm.

"And she laughed, and it would not have been a bad laugh for a ghoul."

Oh, I do like that.

Maddeningly general question: What's it been like thinking of vignette ideas? You've managed it more, and written erotica more, but how has your thinking evolved? I ask because I've been trying to think of suggestions for Sirenia Digest and coming up with stuff I doubt is usable. ("Ever wonder what Beowulf's sex life was like?" Stuff like that.)

I'm not sure I understand the question.

"Ever wonder what Beowulf's sex life was like?"

Well...I can say, vignette ideas are best if they're not period (obviously, not a hard and fast rule, but generally). I like vignettes to be simple, somewhat abstract...

[chris_walsh]

I'm not sure I understand the question.

You didn't used to write erotica; it was a writing muscle you've had a chance to develop over the last few years. How do you feel your approach to it has developed? Maybe too big a question for just comments, honestly.

Okay, I can see that. Makes sense.

[chris_walsh]

P.S. I'm still trying to think of vignette suggestions, and so far they seem like jokes. So I won't pass them along. Unless I think they'll make you laugh. (As sex should. In a good way.)

And Spooky got this great Dagon hoodie from the guys at Sighco.com.

. . . I may have to get that for my brother.
