Why is my underwear in my pocket?
Jul. 5th, 2006 03:25 pmNothing good ever comes when a sentence starts with, "First, I shall turn into a demon..."
Well, okay, I take that back. Plenty of good things happen in those cases, especially the sorts of things that go "grr", and "pow", and "thud", and often "squish". But aside from the satisfactory squishy-squishy sounds, very few good things come of starting a sentence with that.
What does that have to do with the title? What do either of those things have to do with this post?
Absolutely nothing.Which is what you are about to become.
My co-worker is still MIA. Nadia hasn't been able to get ahold of him at all today, and this is definitely not at all like him. We're starting to get worried. I hope nothing's happened to him, and I hope he's back tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I'm also doing my work in addition to his. Which is why you haven't seen me online much today. I don't know if it makes me insensitive for saying this, but this is another reason why I hope he's back tomorrow.
While I've been doing twice the workload, I've also been reading something that was linked to me by a Pit author I quite enjoy, and thus respect. It's a fairly long Animorphs story, which piqued my interest in it. I will openly admit that Animorphs was my very first fandom, and I am very ashamed to not have read anything past book #32.
This story, however, was not what I was expecting.
It is horrible. Absolutely grotesque. It takes a wonderful idea (timeskip backwards and give a tiny nudge to David, ensuring that he does not betray the others and thus changes the flow of the timestream), and turns it into the most clichéd Gary Stu drivel I have ever been subjected to.
For some reason, I forced myself to read it to the current end. All 54 chapters-worth so far. It does not get better. I have no idea why it is recommended by my respected author.
But it has reawakened my past obsession with the series, and makes me wish I had read it to the end. I am currently trying to find a source for these books that will be either free or relatively inexpensive. I'm not having great luck with this, and will probably need to resort to Amazon or eBay.
I just hope that I can invoke Seerow's Kindness in a conversation sometime soon.
