Well, not only was that an x-post, it made the page all wide. So, gone now.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I think my html made the page all wide, but I fixed it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
My word, yes - I haven't read that damned thing in thirty years. I knew I was forgetting it from somewhere.
Must reread Poe. The bells!
And if I poem-earworm with "Annabel Lee", I'm coming after you with a meat-axe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In the clamor and the clangor
Gilmore Girls used this as an episode title.

Dude, I love just reading it aloud, its rhythms and rhymes.

I know! It was definitely read aloud when we did it in high school. Hearing it now, the rhythm sometimes reminds me of "The Lusty Month of May."

I've never read that poem before. It's incredible. Also, "tintinabulation". Must find a way to use that word in conversation today.
Anyway, here's my little thing for this week's challenge:
Looking down
She was half asleep, her parka hood pulled up, hands tucked into her sleeves, the drone of the propellers a distant murmur. Someone poked her in the back. She lifted her head and turned to the boy behind her, pushing her hood back with one hand. He looked up at her and grinned, pointing down. Behind him, the other passengers had gathered to stare out the windows, pointing, murmuring.
She adjusted her hood further back and glanced down. Movement on the white plain, brown and tan rushing below them. The caribou galloped across the frozen lake, silent from on high. She wondered what their hooves would sound like on snow-covered ice.

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
I have a 1200 word essay that needs some beta love. Anyone have time or interest for feedback?
Question I have aside from the usual "does it flow? is it funny? is it clear?" is "Is it interesting? Does it capture the surreal ridiculousness of the incident? Does it give a clear picture of my "status" within the fandom?"
This one builds off of other essays in which I describe the Players in this little pond, and I'll need it to build another concept. If that makes any sense.

Hey. New board.
I'll read it if you want, Allyson. Profile address works. My perspective would be "that guy who still doesn't understand it all."

I can beta. I'm about to eat dinner and watch What's Up, Tiger Lily? though, so I won't get to it for a couple hours, if that's okay. And I definitely enjoy a little surreal ridiculousness, especially when it's in the real world, so I'll tell you if that works or not.
