My roommate's going to laugh at me when he sees me using percentile dice to help me decide what my characters do.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Question - does anybody know of any websites with letters on? I mean, written letters between people, I presume there have to be some 'classic' ones out there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am SO stealing this idea if I get stuck on plot.

Throwing dice couldn't actually hurt, in the case of this story. They're doing stuff I swear I didn't think up. Tina has discovered that the Kraken is sentient, and she may be having sex with it soon, if she can figure out where the correct organs are. Actually, that bit of knowledge may not even be needed. She's creative. Joe is horrified, but then, he usually is. And it's better than being eaten.
Is Kraken sex going too far? Even in a porn-in-space story?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Tentacle sex is a whole genre unto itself, from my understanding. So, not too far, per se.

oh Zenkitty you're having so much more fun than I am. I may have to introduce a kraken just to hold my own interest.
But yeah the dice are really helpful when cranking out words is more important than character motivation.

I have a set of percentile dice next to my keyboard. When I get stuck over whether a character is going to do one thing or another I decide which is more likely and roll the dice. It's probably the geekiest possible way to write a story. Also how cool is it that the die in the Wikipedia photograph is actually the one I own?
