Answers:
archetypes I'm really into archetypes, not so much in the Jungian sense as just they way that our ideas about certain types of characters interact with the actual reutilization of them in any work of fiction, and actually life itself. We frame all our experiences in terms of this kind of shorthand.

ass is timeless One time sophia_helix, sainfoin_fields and I went to see a play that my sister, in addition to being in, had costumed. The director had wanted the look to be "timeless" and my sister had come up with the idea that dance clothes are pretty timeless and so everyone was basically wearing leotards with various translucent additions. So there was a lot of viewing of people's asses involved, when this was commented on my sister tried to explain why, and well she only got as far as "Well the concept was supposed to be timeless..." before it was agreed upon that yes, ass is timeless. And it is.

Chaplain Tappman "It was love at first sight." I love Catch-22 and I love the character of the poor harassed Chaplain, constantly being picked on and stressing out about his wife.

cyberpunk staples I haven't read much cyberpunk, and it isn't a genre I expected to be into, but I've read Snowcrash and Neuromancer, which are staples of the genre and I absolutely loved both of them.

existentialism I was introduced to existentialism really in my sophomore year of college and I've always found it really in line with my own experience of the world. Just last week I was reading some Sartre short stories and really feeling blown away by his depiction of how things can see unreal and you feel like you are pretending to be yourself. Generally, existentialism is about being responsible for your own experience of life and I approve of that.


no choking it better! This interest indebted to Narnia RFP (among other fandoms) belief in the value of "raping it better". It drives me batty when people write sexual violation fixing sexual violation. sainfoin_fields was responsible for showing us the atrocity that caused the coining of the term. Then there was the whole incident with Isiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey and the choking that happened thanks to the prior's homophobic slur towards T.R. Knight. sophia_helix and I knew right away that there was going to be slashy RPF about Dempsey and Knight and I groaned thinking about the inevitable choking it better that was sure to occur in some of those fics.

Victorian lesbian vampires Mainly this is a reference to Carmilla which I read right around the same time as Dracula and was blown away by. This book seriously has all the best things about the era.

"Everyone gets away from me" *cries*

Awesome, it's a really neat story. Right now I am slogging though Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

"Because you lead 'em on, Doctor. And you know it."*pats his back*

Joyce... I have trouble with stream of conscious. I'm having huge difficulties with Kerouac.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

"How was I supposed to know what she was thinking, after all she was flirting with Shakespeare."

I like the idea of stream of consciousness, I just don't like a lot of the people who write it. I read this great little novella by Sartre the other day that was essentially the same kind of thing as the Joyce book on paper, but Sartre's consciousness is way more interesting instead of offputting.

"You should have used your mojo."

Well, obviously, I do want to read Sartre. Being the weirdo I am, I'll probably read him in French.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

"It's not mojo; it's scientific knowledge."


I would if I could read French.

"Honestly? Try focusing on telling you daughter that you like the blokes..."

I hate translations.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

"What's the big deal? So does she."

It's always an issue, but I suck at languages so I am sort of stuck with them.

[utopia83.livejournal.com]

"True...I'd like her bloke, too, if he was those ten years older..."

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

"You never like anyone's bloke"

"Who, me? What, you think I'm gonna stay single for life after Lance?"

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

"No one ever does."

[utopia83.livejournal.com]

"Indeed."
