My morning was going rather shitty (resuming a course begun last night), but then I saw someone refer to Orson Scott Card as a "howling bigoted douchemonkey," and I almost laughed, and now I feel a little better. Also, I've been sleeping like crazy, which is a tad bizarre. Vaults of sleep. Too much wandering in the watery Dreamlands. These days, ( Read more... )

Save us from Cthulhu furry toys. Perhaps someone should write a story where a resurrected Lovecraft takes his revenge on these fuckwits (Brian Lumley, I'm looking at you).

Obviously, the Old Gent could do a good pulp parody - d'you rate "Herbest West" at all? But I know that's not your point. Neil's story works because he *isn't* sending up the Mythos.

I've not, I think, seen anything with D'Onofronio in - any recommendations?

Problem is, if I wrote such a story, it would, by definition, only be another parody, no matter how much it might be needed.

Start with The Whole Wide World, then move on to The Cell (and ignore "J-Lo's" bullshit performance, because it's a beautiful film).

Sorry you are entering yet another hell.

Dante lied about the number of levels. They're infinite.

I am certain you don't have to die to enter.

No. That's a myth for sure.

I'm confused. Would D'Onofrio's brain be implanted in the pony girl, or would you just ... hold it, or something?

Well, all my bizarre perversions aside, I would prefer if it came inside his body.

It's here. Let this fresh hell begin.

Let me know if there's anything I can do.

I like Lovecraft very much, though I have to take him in small doses because the world he creates is so bleak. I agree - you come to the work with a straight face, or don't bother attempting it at all. Any way else would be rude and disrespectful to a great writer.

Unlike my world, with is My Little Ponies and Strawberry Shortcake.
