Could there be some kind of website or a page on one of your sites/wikis whatever that people who read/listen to the CD go to and leave a note or click a button or whatever?

"Thanks for listening to and reading all this crazy shit. Choose your posters from the provided PDF.s and decorate your town's telephone poles.
Take pictures and post to Flickr.

Also, for your chance to win a free car* please go to http://www.principiawikiwhatever.com/CDGasmParticipants and choose one of the available options.

*No car will actually be awarded but maybe Eris will smile on you."

ETA: The site didn't load page two until after I'd already posted a comment. Disregard repetitiveness. I thought it was just TCC that was slow as fuck. But no, no, it's the entire internets. Sorry.

Mmmm . . . Pepsi.

Yeah. The problem I see is that with any amount of success, the non-Brand will become a Brand and will start drawing people to it who resonate with the image it evolves into. And everything after that is shenanigans.

I think it would be cool to get various rants off the forum and have people read them with theatrical flair and/or evangelistic inflection.

Is that my prize for overriding that for you? Let me get my flogger.

I think her talk about 'mama grizzlies' beats her Beck-speech. "Because mothers just know when something is wrong."

I've experienced a couple of things, some of which can be attributed to hypnogogic states, some not (due to lack of sleep paralysis). One fairly disturbing one that is recurrent is the feeling of a presence in the room. Occasionally I'll wake up in the middle of the night, and I'll have an intense thought that I must not, under any circumstances, open my eyes while the presence is still there. Reason being is that I know I'm not going to like what I see, and what I would see, for some reason, would then be able to see me. I know this sounds exactly like a fnord, but I don't associate it with anything like that. More accurately, it can see me, but for some reason can't do anything to me if my eyes are closed.

That sounds like classic sleep paralysis.  I've had it twice now, that I can recall, and in addition to the paralysis, I have the exact same feelings and worries.

However, luckily, when it first happened to me I was already aware of what sleep paralysis was, and when I tried to move and it failed, I realised what it was and calmed down a degree.  Not entirely, but because I knew this was meant to feel like this, I kept on top of it much easier than someone who had no clue what was going on would have done.

I have panic attacks in my sleep and wake up paralyzed but trying to scream. All that comes out is a faint hissing. It sucks. A lot. I stay that way until I go unconscious again and wake up normally. It isn't really falling asleep because it's damn hard to go ni-ni in the midst of freaking the fuck out, I just sorta black out. I don't think this has anything to do with the paranormal, but yeah. It isn't the paralysis that bothers me anymore, it's the the god damn panic attacks. It does make me wonder how much of the other weird stuff that I do attribute to the paranormal is just another manifestation of my broken brain as opposed to something external.

Well then she needs to stop keeping her creativity in said genitalia. The cootch is not meant to be a long-term storage apparatus.

Wow. How do you guys come up with this stuff?

A buddy I used to work with listens to Glenn Beck for all his political news and economic insights. Said buddy is now reproducing. Can't wait to see what he teaches his sprawn. He still sends me e-mails about how right Glenn Beck is and what a loser I am for not being a Republican.

I like sending him clips from The Daily Show where Jon Stewart shows Beck contradicting himself. Incoherency might just be a dirty habit, but inconsistency is his lifestyle choice.

I also. I thought she was some sort of gene-spliced neutered clone of Christina Aguilera and Marilyn Manson.

Then I guess you should stay away from her vag . . . unless you want to steal it for yourself.

Alveda King plays on Uncle's iconic speech and calls on God to save the USA just as soon as the nation repents of its sins.

My eyeballs are twitching.

I do believe my original intent was to write a series of short stories about the unlucky saps that try to cross the bridge and are subsequently killed by the black swordsman.
That however, would most likely be lame.

Not entirely, although in this instance I think it would be best carried through the Black Swordsman's point of view OR doing it as something the prince remembers and is emotional about.
But it might end up being tearfully dull. Who wants to read a series of episodic stories that all about poor smucks that try to cross this bridge and get butally hacked apart. Might make great fodder for a series of flash videos, but not much anything people would want to read.

QuoteI almost want to write it out the young prince, but then I would have to develop his character as well as that of of his party. Which would require that I make the reader care that so far two of the three companions have been killed, and rather quickly too. This is all meaningless if the reader is not aware of the skills of the party.

Incidentally, the black swordsman is modeled off of a combination of the black knight from monty python, and Guts from Berserk.

Nah. You just gotta make 'em care about the Prince and then by proxy they will be sympathetic towards the slain companions, in theory.

But I don't like the Prince for some reason. Well I don't like the idea of the Prince., but then again he has no purpose, or personality so..ya.

All of this is what editing is for. Get what you've got out on paper or whatever and then refine it.

I have decided to make this story about the Prince, who now has a name btw, Garwit. I've decided to make it semi-episodic in nature. Every episode will involve the Prince encountering some obstacle that must be overcome, but while they would simple to overcome become complicated due to the Prince or a member of his party behaving in a non-knightly fashion. Between major conflicts there will be mini-stories told about the fallen members of the party. I still don't have a reason why the crown prince of a kingdom is off riding about getting into trouble yet. Eventually he will reach whatever his goal is and I'm stumped for details and motive. I do have a an outline stared, with some rough ideas on flow for a few episodes.

Sounds like a plan.
