Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

"The elderly, the disabled and people who are otherwise poor sprinters are advised to stay indoors."

Bwahaha!

Also, CGI wolves may be on the loose.

Robin, I totally thought that link was referring to you. Took me a moment to reorient when the picture came up.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You're misunderstanding me. What I'm saying is that Allyson's not blogging (regardless of software platform) because she's not presenting content directed at people who don't know her. Not that they can't read her, but that this is of little to no value to an editor, unless they're trying to be really nosy and profile the person Allyson. Which will fail because of the whole friendslock thing anyway.

I'm totally not blogging. My entries on LJ are kind of just crap, and the unlocked is meme's, mostly.

It's boring. I think she's thinking I've got a real blog with witty commentary on the world, and mostly it's where I go to take a brain poop. I don't think I've ever written anything clever or funny or not completely whiny and hairpat-like in it.

But I didn't want to refuse any request from a publisher, either.

In that case, I'd lock down everything you're iffy about, and say "sure, though I really can't imagine why you'd want it."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd go with the "create a new one and point her there" scenario. Toss in a couple backdated un-revealing entries, but don't let her request be the reason for changing how you normally LJ.

Good advice. My flist who read my LJ might see a change or two.

What is even happening?

What ita said, and post all the entries so that people can't leave comments.

Kristen, was that a text interview?

He's kinda cute, and all the celeb-stalkers out there may be happy to hear his GF picked him up with "aren't you the guy from..."


Kristen - Dec 07, 2005 12:05:02 pm PST #56 of 10002

I'm pretty sure it was via email.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Here's a question: Allyson, does your editor know you have a journal, or was he/she fishing in the dark? Because, you can always come back and say "I don't have one; that's why I am writing the book!" -- unless they already know you have one.

I have no links. I can still play though, right?
