"Hey, I have this GREAT idea for a story . . |
| Guess what, jag-off?I'm not impressed.And neither is Mur Lafferty.In that spirit, Mur has created The News From Poughkeepsie in her dreaded Murverse superfeed.She will be posting an idea a day, every day, for an entire year.Mur's currently on Day 10, I believe.The News From Poughkeepsie is predicated on the notion that, as the lady herself puts it, ideas are cheap - it's the work that's hard.Sitting here with a four-page outline to redraft explaining how I'm going to turn my ideas into a 120-page screenplay, I happen to agree with her in a way that makes the right side of my brain throb like porn star cock.The particularly hardcore, functional aspect of this concept is that these are "community" ideas released under a CC license.So if you're one of those aspiring authors I step over in the morning, you can cherry pick any of them, change them, tweak them, write them, even sell the finished product.As long as you acknowledge it came from Mur's Poughkeepsie (that sounds hilariously dirty, doesn't it?).Speaking of Mur, which I often do, because she's crazy sexy cool, she is one of the guests on this week's episode of Manic Mondays recorded live at RavenCon.Hosted by Tom "Devo Spice" Rockwell, the man behind comedy rap "group" Sudden Death and the narrator who played Sterne in the Podiobooks.com recordings of The Failed Cities Monologues, this is one of the funniest fuckin' drivetime podcasts you will ever download. |
| Hosted by Tom "Devo Spice" Rockwell, the man behind comedy rap "group" Sudden Death and the narrator who played Sterne in the Podiobooks.com recordings of The Failed Cities Monologues, this is one of the funniest fuckin' drivetime podcasts you will ever download.Mur also brought the stylings of Beatnik Turtle with her.These guys are utterly amazing musicians who write every kind of song imaginable, including comedy.So Manic Mondays + Mur + Beatnik Turtle = Mindgasm.In my book, anyway.You can listen to the episode by clicking here.Sudden Death also just dropped a new CD entitled Fatal Error that I have not picked up myself yet but fully intend to and which you can order here.Funny, funny shit about technology and geekdom in general.Witness . . .And fuck, man. Seriously, were there enough hyperlinks in this post for you?That shit looks effortless when you read through, but it's a pain in the ass to slap together. |
