This is getting out of hand, seriously.

So, I just got up. I'm on my first coffee of the day. It's peaceful and chilled and I don't have a care in the world. Also, the fic writing process is turning into fic in its own right.

xDDDD

I love it when characters can totally logic you into something you yourself cannot make sense of.

Thing is, the guy got it spot on. It's finished and I'm kinda sitting here with that what-the-fuck-happened-here look, cause once again, I saw none of this coming and oh wow, was he ever right about the Palahniuk. I think I will give my brain up for adoption so someone else can deal with the sick and twisted.

lol.

Like watching a movie, right? Not a thing you can do to stop it, gotta just let it happen and write it down.

And don't give your brain up for adoption! Your brain spouts lovely, lovely stories. And the sick and twisted is just a bonus. Sick and twisted means original, and isn't that all an author can aspire to?

You know those kinds of movies that leave you shaken even though you know none of it is actually true? That kind of movie. Happening in my head. The kind of movie where you wonder just how fucked up the director was to come up with that amount of disgusting? In my own head. It's equal amounts worrying and exciting just where my brain travels if I let it.

Gosh yes, like the Butterfly Effect.

That movie made me cringe and I still couldn't walk away from it. Or like the book Unwind. It made me want to run and hide under the table (which I hide under a lot) and I still had to finish the book.

But no worries, I've thought the same thing of my own brain a time or ten. I don'y post my stories here, mostly because I am lj illiterate and I enjoy lurkerdom, but there are times when I wonder about my mental state.

But I agree, whilst being worrying, it is definetly exciting, like reaching the top of the roller coaster exciting. Like when stories take turns you've never even contemplated before (or when characters turn out to be smarter than you).

Wonders never cease :D

My favourites when it comes to the seriously twisted and fucked up have gotta be Haunted and American History X. They did things to my brain.

Things that apparently resulted in my very own brand of sick and twisted. Whee.

I've since got over the creeped out and I actually really like the story now, which is more then I can say about most things I've written. Obviously, Ryan's unbelievably smug right now, but that seems a small price to pay.

Haunted. *shudders*

Smug!Ryan. I <3 him. He's always so much fun when Spencer walks in and decides to take him down a peg or two :D

No, seriously, I walked around for a week with the world being a different place after I'd read that. Always loved Palahniuk (who doesn't), but that? Just incredible. And then of course, I passed it on to a friend and never got it back. Book-stealing bastards, the lot of them.

I'm secretly waiting for Spencer to surreptitiously slip me a card with a therapist's number any day now, tbh. He's the kind of imaginary creation who would do something like that. But yeah, him and Ryan always crack me up, cause they don't actually have conversations in my head, they just glare at each other very pointedly.
