Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Pfft. That, and world building, character defining, are what I can do fairly well. But I can't find a story to tell, or sustain one.
Heh. DH, reading over my shoulder, "You always were a method actor."

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I suffer from this syndrome as well. We should start a support group.

Heh, and now I'm looking for that corner. The one where the guy in the Sesame Street trenchcoat hangs out, "Psst. Hey kid! Wanna buy a story?"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Didn't The Believer (another one of the McSweeney's magazines) have a section for a while of orphan stories? Plot bunnies that various authors had running around in the hutches in the backs of their brains that they knew they'd never have the time or energy to attend to, so they were putting them up for adoption? I've been seriously thinking about rooting back through the archives, because some of those orphaned bunnies were kind of appealing.

I think Dead Alice may be a character bunny. I mean I think the piece stands alone as a piece of Flash Fiction. (That may be ego talking.) But I really like her as a character, and would love a better fiction writer to adapt her and do something with her.

From wayyyyy back:
Teppy:
I don't believe for a second that she misspoke, just as I don't believe that Obama misspoke back when he made that sexist "periodically when she's feeling down" comment about her.
I seem to recall that this was actually not his comment. That he said, "periodically, when she's down...." and he meant "down in the polls". I shall run off and try to find evidence of this as context. I could be wrong, though!
