Exploration is ill-advised.
I mean, it's not exactly a hard read on Twilight that it's about an incredibly mediocre teenage girl becoming the most important person in the world by virtue of cute boys liking her.

Pretty much most romantic genres get hosed up easily when the primary characters' actions are all justified by ~twu wuv~ and the author's obvious boner for their particular pairing and its associated dynamics overriding any reasonable moral and ethical issues.

You have selected: Regicide! If you now the name of the king or queen being murdered, press one!

It is actually kinda cute that Lostclock is just genuinely fascinated with weird creatures, and tries to figure out how they work.

I also like his irrational hatred of ghosts, with them not making evolutionary sense, and then here going "oh well it might be magical, then nothing needs to make sense"

"I have no problem with them working. I just don't think they should get paid." was a good line. I don't really agree, but I had to laugh at that.

Pinocchio
Chapter 10:

The Marionettes recognize their brother Pinocchio, and greet him with loud cheers; but the puppeteer, Fire Eater, happens along and poor Pinocchio almost loses his life.




We are a little over a quarter done, but some chapters will probably be broken up into a couple of posts.

Ultrafilter you have got to make a website for powerup. I know a bunch of people who would appreciate the crap out of your stuff but they're not going to search Twitter or come to this dead forum. Whip up a deliberately lovely WordPress site why don't you.

I think it was SMG who said that the Twilight series is an inverse slasher movie. An unstoppable teen girl relentlessly pursues a hapless monster.

This is a great take on the movies, but its important to remember that basically no one who enjoys Twilight outside of these dead gay forums will have any idea what you are talking about if you talk about the series in this kind of context. Most fans (and the author) think of the series as a fairly innocent/healthy supernatural romance.

There's a non zero chance C&S put this spin on the story trick me (and others) into reading it, which I admit would be pretty hilarious.

it's not a particularly complicated read, just lengthy, and the weird thing about major cultural flashpoints is that they encourage you to check them out because they're popular... which further cements their ubiquity and "necessity" to read as part of a shared cultural lexicon

There's an archive of Powerup, Abbeycourt Manor and Gamer Dilbert on The Duck, although they aren't kept up to date in real time but rather periodically updated. And also Ultrafilter is just posting Powerup, it's the similarly named Unwinder who makes them.
