They make their System Shock percentile roll?

I'm not talking about the explanation. Really, the snow bit was the first thing that popped in my mind. What bothers me is that the rules of his world apply for the moment a line is delivered and then apply no longer. He just makes things up as he goes along. I don't want some sort of explanation about how the snow…

The fairy tale didn't work for me because Moffat seems to have tossed out any attempt at internal logic. Things just happen "because," as if the universe is just a colossal. Snow only reflects what we are... why? Because. The only thing that can stop the snowmen are a weeping family on Christmas Eve. Why? He has no…

I wouldn't if I were them either. Disney's brand management is Orwellian.

Conan has a lot of other moments from the REH stories that are awesome. He does have a code of honor as well. He sells his sword and stays sold. He doesn't lie like a civilized man, and he doesn't let a woman in danger go by without trying to save her. On the other hand, he IS a thief, reaver and slayer.

Addendum: Angelina Jolie will never, ever look better. Ever.

I was really hoping this was a story about cannibal monks. Guess I'll have to write that one.

Please, can the "curated/curation" fad be over?

The last season of Lost negates what they did right in the previous ones.

Yeah, I could teach, but I think you have to really want to do that for high school and below.

Interesting. Thanks again.

I saw a list that had philosophy degrees on it just behind anthropology. I got the philosophy degree as my undergrad and writing as my graduate degree. Boo-yaa, bitches! I got this unemployability locked down!

I agree that Mind MGMT is a great book.

I have this comic. I should read it. I wish now that more people had bought it for the "pilot season."

I like The Drowned Cities as well. It's YA though, maybe it gets it's own category?

Interesting. Sounds like Sartre's philosophy meets the fantastical.

Wool by Hugh Howey was showcased earlier in the year on the site. He credited that appearance with helping make his book a breakout.

Empty Space by M. John Harrison should be on there if for nothing else than the prose.

I have access to a professional graphic artist, so that bit I can get done on the cheap. I use to do Google Ads for a website I worked for, but that was some while ago. The marketing courses from college stuck, but again, a decade old now.
