"spiders on water" or "web comics"
A: So I wrote something.
B: You did? Do you like it?
A: I dunno, I guess…
B: What do you mean you guess? You like. You don’t like.
A: There’s not much to it yet, just a lot of characterization.
B: Well, are the characters likable?
A: Character.
B: What?
A: Character. There’s only one.
B: Oh, well, is he/she likable?
A: Yeah, I think he is.
B: Is he gay?
A: (pause) No, he’s not gay.
B: Can you do that?
A: Of course I can do that.
B: I thought there was a whole “write what you know” thing.
A: I know about lots of things. Lots of non-gay things.
B: Well, considering you don’t even know that very much…
A: (continues thought) besides I’ve been trying to get away from that in my writing.
B: Are we still talking about the gay thing here?
A: No, the "me" thing. Look, I know that all pieces written are somehow a part of their writer. But I’m not talking about that. I’m not saying I don’t want my characters to be created by me I don’t want to BE me, you know ME me.
B: (pauses) You call yourself a writer and you come out with something like “me me”?
A: (frowns, sighs) A character based on self perceived traits and mannerisms projected into literary form as a two dimensional static protagonist.
B: No… no, I don’t think that’s much of an improvement. In fact, I like “me me” better.
A: you’re not listening to me. Everyone in my stories can’t be me. I want them to be realistic, or at least entertaining. If not, preferably, both. How could I create a world like that? Everyone on the planet can’t be GAY.
B: That would be hot…
A: Look, you’re not getting my point here…
