Christmas time is here...

Not very Christmasy to this point...I suppose I was expecting reindeer to come flying at me with a big candy cane. Maybe they could swat me over the head with it - oh, wait, that was an elf, and that happened already. Ne'er mind.

Last night while efbq ran off to role-play being unconscious (*giggle* *duck*), I saw Narnia with still_asking, her lovely daughter

I liked the movie too, very good job. I was worried that the animation would overposer everything...but Yay!

Well, gee, thanks!

Glad to have a few more of the old crowd listening to my latest fictional ramblings on PRT. You guys inspired so many of them! The creepiest thing about writing Metcalfe now is that he's twenty years younger than I am! Eek! When did that happen? We used to be the same age! It was great fun playing him at 70-ish for a live show last year. My wife said I sounded WAY too much like my father. Hope to include that show in the podcasts soon, if I can get releases from the five or so Hollywood types who were in it.

But, seriously, I'm proud of the fact that I'm still working with some characters I developed in my early days. Fan writing is a worthwhile endeavor, whether or not it leads to any sort of pro career. (And I'm STILL wondering if mine will lead to some sort of pro career. I've stopped CARING, but I still wonder!)

Thanks, and Save Littlepage!

I am laughing at the idea of you sounding like your father...

Of course, if I play Dennis J. Littlepage again, I'll have to get him back from having beamed his character directly into the mind of (I believe it was) Peter David. He introduced a character who did a lot of the shticks that I'd developed for L-page, including knowing when the ship changed course by listening to the engines. (Littlepage would also manually program courses by working them out with a stylus and pad at his chair first.)

There are SO many incarnations of Trek now, with the multiple TV series, the proposed totally new cast film (I think it's about the first Romulan War -- no desire to see it) and all the Pocket Books original series... it's not surprising that EVERY character quirk imaginable would show up. Hell, forget all the Trek, the odds are good that Peter "Book-A-Minute" David would need to use every possible permutation and combination of characters just in HIS work.

Like the old saying goes, there are only about six unique stories. All else is variation on a theme.
