  1. Vote Wayne, whats the worst thing that could happen?
  2. Ya know, there was a South Park episode about exactly that...
  3. Im not a huge fan of him, he is very hit or miss for me. Eiither he is great or he is... just too much "bouncy 90s metal" for my tastes. But yes, I like Mr Bungle, not a big fan of Faith No More though.
  4. Fantomas - The directors cut Insane avant garde covers of film scores.
  5. 1. I love it, great idea! 2. It depends slightly on what you want to do, but if you want to tell the story of how several characters experience the same thing you almost need two outlines. One for how things actually happened and one for how each character experienced the thing. 3. Look up ARG (Alternate Reality Game), if you do this right people will become invested in the story and want to influence it. Let them. This is social media after all. Interaction is important. 4. Dont break character. You know those insane stories of how old pro wrestlers never broke character no matter what happened? This is you now. 5. Realism. I dont know what kind of story you are telling here, even if you go full blown into surrealism or fantasy you still need realism. Why do we need to know what kind of car James Bond drives and what his favorite drinks are? Because it makes the guy with the bladed hat seem more possible. People post inane things on social media. Not everything needs to be part of the story. If the food character 3 ate on wednesday night is important to the story all the more power to you, but it doesnt need to be. I have two videos for you. They are directed towards creepy pasta writing, but I guess what you are doing is the same without the horror element so I think they can help you anyway. Those are my... 5 cents?
  6. He is nowhere near cute enough to be a lizard. Maybe he is one of those lizard people that supposedly control the world.
  7. If I remember correctly I think Tesla had an idea for an earthquake weapon. See if you can find anything on that.
  8. It would not be the weirdest thing I have eaten (That honor would go to curry sauce on vanilla ice cream, nutella and ham sandwhiches or nutella on chips) so I can believe that. Now I want to try them, oh well, not going to america just for coconut chips. Dipping fries in milkshake is pretty weird too...
  9. *googles* They are supposedly good too. I am willing to believe that, at least I try them and they turn out to be not good.
  10. I shall see what demented experimental madness from my teenage years I can dig up. Dream Theater- Dance of Eternity probably counts, considering how many time changes there are in that song. Frank Zappa - The Black Page, I know it is in 4/4, but it has nested tuplets. I heard you liked tuplets so I put tuplets in your tuplets. (I dont know what that means either) Cynic - Uroboric Forms in 23/16, because why play in 4/4 when you can remove one sixteenth? I used to listen to so much weird stuff... cant remember most of it at the moment... I'll link you if I can remember something.
  11. Never work too hard, you will just end up with more work.
  12. You know this? It is not one of my horror shorts, it actually happened. Anyway A couple years ago me and my friends find out that an old 70s Metal band is playing in Gothenburg. We have to see them. The singer is an old junkie and can die at any moment, this is our only chance, if we miss it we miss it. Problem is of course that they are playing in the middle of nowhere at midnight, on a wednesday. We decide that we dont need sleep. We are going to see this band. Song link The trip there is easy enough. Nothing all that interesting happens other the running gag "It's good for your teeth". Oh yeah, this is autumn by the way, it is cold and raining. Im in a jeans jacket because I am hardcore like that. We stand in line a while to get in, the people working in the bar are kind enough to come out with some coffee for everyone in the cold, I dont drink coffee, but I am ready to make an exception to gain some heat. My friends have a bottle of whiskey and decide to mix the coffee and whiskey together, I dont drink whiskey, but I am cold and ready to make an exception (Note: They dont really mix) We get in. I sit with my friends, have a good time, show starts, is awesome, show ends, we sit and talk to some more people. One of my friends have disappeared, we find my friend, he is drunk, because of course he is, right? For you to understand this properly, I am probably mildly lubricated, my friends are pretty buzzed, this guy cant walk straight. We find the singer before leaving, shake his hand, share a few words with him and walk out. My friend holds a long monologue about how their lives are so similar (hint: they are not) and we manage to drag him away from the singer. ("Excuse my friend, he's a bit drunk") Ok, we have to find our way back to the bus station to get to school. This was around 3am, we do it the only way we know: Drunkingly jaywalking across the highway with only a phone GPS telling us where we are supposed to go. Of course it sends us in the completely wrong direction. During this walk friend number drunk repeats two things "I shook hands with Bobby Liebling" (Yes, we all did) and "You should never drink with a Punk". Because that is apparently why he is so drunk. Makes sense. As we jaywalk across the highway (It was in the middle of the night, there was barely any traffic) we do hear one car driving against us and stops. It is the storming police, because of course, right? The police are actually really nice. Just telling us that maybe we shouldnt walk across the highway as much as we are doing. Right then friend number drunk does a drunken stumble and my heart stops. I am not sure what is going to happen, but it is bad. We are spending the night in drunk jail or whatever, but no such thing happens, the police just tells us to keep an eye on friend number drunk and drives away. We actually, somehow, find the bus station. It is closed, because of course it is, right? We keep walking and we see a McDonalds, and let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, the golden arches have never looked so golden. We walk in to get some warmth and food. Never eat at McDonalds 4.30am. The personal does not care to even try to make the food edible. To them we are just a bunch of drunken teenagers, we wont care if the food isnt up to the standards, right? And to be honest, I dont care that the burger tastes like crem, I am frozen, tired and hungry. I need warm food. We sleep on the bus to school town, arrive in school town, put drunk friend on a bus home and go to get some extra sleep in the friends band room. School starts, school goes alright, even if I havent slept a wink. I hear from the previously drunk friend. Apparently he ended up back in gothenburg. So let this be a lesson ladies and gentlemen; never drink with a Punk.
  13. So you are pretty much Sazed? Cool, cool. Swedish, but whatever. Personally I celebrate the secularized version with the standard decorations, food and presents.
  14. I am pretty sure I have heard some songs in wibbly wobbly timey whimey.
  15. I blame spell check. Well I actually blame that I forgot how to spell reputation, just typed something, spell checked it and thats what I got.
  16. Train of thought Cutie mark + pixels= Pac Man Obviously someone disagrees. So, anyway, I may have ran into a Rock Legend in Dublin.
  17. I was looking through my repetition the other day. Apparently someone found my "Laugh and be happy for tomorrow we could all be hit by a gamma ray and die" philosophy very offensive. Or it was an accidental down vote, whichever.
  18. "Contains language, such as english, or Italian, we dont want the kids to go and become italians, now do we?" I give you a hamburger
  19. I should do exactly that XD Or The Furies of Calderon...
  20. House of Leaves Welcome to Night Vale Calamity Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti and of course some more Dresden Files. Side Jobs and Proven Guilty. I am incapable of buying books without at least picking up another Dresden Files. They are just so quick and cheap. Not sure what I will do once I catch up...
  21. Im the same, I can have an idea, but I dont know where to go with it until I start writing. I am enjoying it very much, so keep writing!
  22. "It is a serious scene, dont be so snarky throughout it" At least that is what I would have said if I didnt have so storming fun reading it XD I know how frustrating it is hearing "I like it", because if everything is good then how are you going to improve? But I really like it. I could probably find some flaws on a couple re reads. But as it is I just have too much fun reading it to notice the flaws. Do you have an outline or are you purely discovery writing it?
  23. You, dont give me feelings, I cant handle feelings. You, happy birthday!
