Eh. Same thing's ahppened with a lot of people. Conan Doyle for instance.

See, my general attitude is that picking these more "adult" terms like Graphic Novel or Interactive Fiction is a mistake for two reasons. First, when we use these terms we're limiting the medium based on the connotations of words that don' really apply. Take Comic Book. What's comic about any given po-faced, deadly…

I think that the issue with Gone Home, at least in my opinion, is that it's a mediocre coming out novel that's presented in a pretty novel way. The house is interesting since each room's basically tied to the text that happens in it. Stuff like the couch fort or the dad's typewriter never move even though they're set…

It's the Graphic Novel vs Comic Book thing though, innit?

You have posted the same comment twice and not actually addressed what I've said beyond clearly having some sense of potterfan butthurt.

You don't seem to understand how Publishing works.

You're making two faulty assumptions here. First, you're assuming that she's some kind of robot who's just gonna go BEEP BOOP BOOK DONE and fuck off to a life of luxury if she doesn't want to write ore of these stories. That's not generally how things work. Even people who are set for life do develop a strong desire…

To be honest I suspect both.

I'm fairly sure that all her shit's gotta be ghost-written at this point. Either that, or she's gotten spooked by the failure of her attempts to sell books outside of the Kids/YA Sector and is doubling down on Pottermore-as-content-pipeline to try and get more people to sign up and to keep the property…

It's to the show's credit that it takes the notion deadly seriously. There are a handful of really dark jokes and a horrific twist at the end, but the Prime Minister's anguish and its effects on his marriage are treated with realistic gravity.

The best part of Sorkin's bombast is when you realize that he actually understands the Internet and mass culture far, far less than other members of his generation DESPITE being a major content creator.

People really seem to resist it though. The show has been laying on heavy hints about the Inhumans for a while now. it introduced the Kree and the idea of Kree/human genetic hybridization in its first season. One of the major plot points of the second, thusfar, is that specific 'special' humans with specific 'special'…

The whole thing makes a lot more sense when you keep in mind that Fey and Carlock both really like rape jokes. Fey's rationale for this is that most comedy writers and standups wind up being really into really rough or taboo jokes abut stuff like rape, racism, child abuse, weird sex, etc.

The Inhumans are going to be a big part of that escalation, I think. We're going to see them "soon", it's basically an open secret that a terrigen bomb or something comparably big is going to get revealed within a year. Their movie isn't for ages, and most of Phase 3 is about bringing the cosmic and the earthbound in…

Yeah, but GotG spent a lot of time establishing that the titular characters and Nova Corps were buying time for the city to be evacuated. That at least gives it some plausibility that, say, Avengers lacks.

Is Rock dead yet? Or has it at least been eaten by pop?

Snake oil was, ironically, actually a very effective supplement for its time. It's just that most of the stuff sold as snake oil was fake or made from the wrong kind of snake.

Similar practices were common in rural New England, where they actually persisted up until the 1890s.

No, they probably wouldn't mention anything to the fans at this early a stage unless they were planning on kickstarting something.

Eh. They've tolerated multiple remake projects for years. I think this is, if anything, an indication that they might be interested in licensing WoD and other WW projects out now that the MMO is dead.
