Because, apparently, there can't be too much ranting about writing

Let me begin by acknowledging that the membership of this community may well be the wrong people to be ranting at on this issue. It's likely that those of you who joined or watch this comm have a full command of the language (in this case, English) and are cognizant of the proper and effective way to express your ideas in prose.

Ready my sword pen. I smell a crusade.

[verilyverity]

Indeed. And I'm not leaving the torture room before the job is done, either. I bet you didn't know that I was actually on the peer review board for the evil overlord handbook.

TRUFAX!

[luchia13]

AND YOUR LEVEL OF AWESOME INCREASES ONCE AGAIN!

[verilyverity]

I was actually kidding. The overlord's handbook had no peer review, and boy, does it show

[luchia13]

Actually kind of more excited that you know what the Evil Overlord list IS. I occasionally use it for writing prompts, actually. It's FUN.

But if it did have a peer review I'd still say you were awesome.

[verilyverity]

It is totally fun. Never the less, it needs a beta. *sage nod*

[amedia]

No, no, then it will feel as if the other Evil Overlords think it doesn't belong! It will have to write songfics in which 40-year-olds cut themselves because other people don't *understand*.

[luchia13]

And don't forget how they cry like little babies mid-songfic because of their emo! And then someone DOES understand and they have completely impossible sex.

Sex on a horse is just...it ain't gonna happen. Sorry folks, but that's the reality of the world. WOE.

[verilyverity]

Boy, the Overlord's Handbook sure gets around.

[luchia13]

If the impossibility of sex on a galloping horse is seriously covered in the Overlord's Handbook, I am genuinely impressed and need to reread it.

[amedia]

Sex on a horse is just...it ain't gonna happen.

But I saw it in a movie once! It MUST be true!

(SRSLY. There's an unbelievably bad movie called "The Adulteress" in which Eric Braeden - my reason for sitting through the awfulness, as he was one of the stars of Rat Patrol and this was at a Rat Patrol party - and a young skinny Tyne Daly have sex on the back of a horse. Although, as it's not an X-rated movie, there's a lot of soft-focus and cutaways, so it's not like they really did it.)

[luchia13]

As someone who actually knows a bit about physics, I just...what. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. To put it crude and simple, Bucking+Humping+Saddle+KEEPING ON EITHER HORSE OR PERSON = just about physically impossible, unless you've got a very small gymnast, a very big horse (and we're talking Clydesdale size), no saddle, and a man with the strongest thighs ever.

...this is so off topic it's almost scary.

[amedia]

Well, it was a big horse... but I'm in no position to judge Eric Braeden's thighs. *snicker*

But seriously, thank you, because I'm going to be seeing my Ratty friends in a couple of weeks at REVELcon, and I can tell them, "We were right - it wasn't possible!" 'Cause we were all pretty dubious, but the nekkid was doing something to our brains.

[luchia13]

I once got bored and calculated the kinetic energy in a girl slapping a guy's cheek really, really hard. Good god. You have no idea how stupidly intensely hot that cheek gets. IT IS RED FROM THE SEARING BURN THEY GET. We're talking preheat-your-oven heat. It's insane.

[verilyverity]

How did you determine the impulse with which the palm strikes the cheek.

*ponders*

Or the elasticity of the palm?
