I agree with Matt that the biker w/ pit bulls idea would be cringe-worthy, but there would probably be a way of making the thing as primal as it needs to be without going too deep into the SFX budget.

You hear them but don't see them most of the time. The way they handled hellhounds but with an occasional glimpse. But where the terror of the hellhounds was mostly being trapped by something you could not see, the terror of the wild hunt is being chased by something you can just barely keep ahead of but know will get you eventually and are terrified that eventually is now, Most of the focus is on the prey, not the hunt. That would keep costs down and I think could be scary as hell.

I'm also totally not buying the preacher's reaction.

Sweet Jesus no. I mean, I kept reading because I thought she'd pull a mistaken identity out of it, but when the incest warning went up on the front, I guessed that was out of consideration. Then I kept reading for the ruins...and now this? Sure, there are plenty of people that read D/C and read incest stories, but I really don't appreciate getting suckered into a story that's both. Because I'm not one of those people.

Yet I'm still reading her Resident AU with bated breath. Everything seems so innocent.

Kripke writing a tv adaptation of the Deadman comic for the CW.

OMG, I just went and checked Jim's twitter feed just because, and his daughter took it over. I know you're not supposed to be entertaining to adults when you're ten, but wow, that's a big stage to be bratty on.

I'd actually be fine with my kids having a Twitter account, but I'm not a celebrity of whatever renown. He said she has her own now, and he has to approve followers or whatever, but I can't help thinking it's still asking for trouble.

As a celebrity parent you can bet I'd keep my kid out of my fame like that. If she's an actor (I understand Colin Ford's had a twitter for a while), sure, market yourself, but those people following her...why in hell are they doing it?

I was perusing spn-au and someone has a LJ icon of West, which creeped me right out.

Okay, I think West is possibly one of the adorablest kids ever, but CREEPY SHIT. I enjoy looking at pictures of him, but he hasn't offered himself up as a public figure. And no matter what hijinx Misha gets up to with his vidcam, he hasn't either.

I hate my laptop's trackpad. Ate my first version of this.

As I recall, she's on the spectrum. I know when she took over her Dad's account, and was sad that he wouldn't let her have her own, some of us suggested she suggest that she offer to let him vet who she follows. And if it's locked down, then it controls who can see her posts, too, so I think it'll give her a controlled introduction to social networking that'll be really good for her in the long run.

Spectrum or not, she's ten. And a girl. And the child of an actor with some visibility. If anything, I think in that case any spectrum disorders could make it more likely she wouldn't have great judgment about what she was reading, or reading, or whatever. It's a big internet, and it wouldn't be unlikely for a smart enough kid to be accessing the web elsewhere than in Dad's presence, and reading and saying whatever she wanted.

It's a safety issue for me, with a child that age.
