Well, I did it. I read the entire Sandman series in one day. I started at 11:00 am yesterday and finished somewhere around 11:00 pm or later. Unsurprisingly, I didn't get much sleep.

It's been some time since I've put forth a huge amount of time devoted to a particular novel or series, with the exception being 3001:The Final Odyssey

I find it curious to have seen ppl speak gleefully about how amusing some lurid scenes in a horror like movie could be but later on that same day being uncomfortable and silent-ish when hearing about the sentiment of and how others have been mis-percieved when it comes socially tense racializing, myself included. "We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and
inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people
to cope with these twin specters."--Susan Sontag.

My point is given how the only differentation with emotion at times is the 'timing and dosage' it is majorly erroneous to disjoin what is considered horror if not overtly 'scary' with what is sad even the sort of indignation provoking ennui laden sadness--what separates horror fiction from transgressive fiction.

Years ago I posted my reaction to the ending here (https://community.cbr.com/showthread.ph ... -ones-quot ).

I dunno... I hope not. I'll just have to sleep it off I guess. :| Maybe skip it tomorrow morning?


You might want to ask a pharmacist over the phone, but far as I know the usual suggestion is staying with the daily routine. My guess is a single extra dose isn't going to be a problem.

May I ask, what is it that makes my writing style so uniquely identifiable?

I don't know, really. Everyone has a different way of writing, so maybe I'm good at picking up on that?

It's mostly because you write in bold.

Your unique use of words , your first post under your new name in this thread was something only you would write , as I didn't know you had changed I thought something fishy was up.

There is a sort of "formality" to the writings of LongShot. Nothing wrong with that. Just the way it is.

The reason I type things in bold, is that I have trouble seeing things in small print :( :oops: so, I like to take advantage to things that help me see better.
