Arsenic is in town. Hide!!

[Arsenic]

For those who know me from Alteration studios forums I need no introduction.

I generally am quite a nice helpfull person and wish only good to this board. My only actual link to the therian community is BT and lately Alpha Luna and I am no dedicated werewolf fan or otherwise ( but I am of good webcomics ).

My spelling and grammar is far from perfect so please don't nitpick over every post, allthough I do appriciate constructive critisem.

See ya around. :evilgrin:

My english grammar sucks too :frown: ... that's why I have a lot of help from Michael a good friend to do the fixes of the pages...XD...just letting you know.

And be wellcome! :)

Trust me, Leo- your English grammar is way better than the grammar of plenty people who I've seen online. So don't feel too down. I notice just one or two mistakes on some pages, but the message isn't lost because of it.

Edit:
Oh, yeah, I should also pay attention to the original topic- Arsenic.

Well, don't worry too much about grammar- though I should just mention that "allthough" is spelled "although". Black Tapestries isn't exactly something I follow anymore. I used to (I actually started reading it just around the time when Lorelei had escaped from Issac in the very first town where she was cursed by Issac's spell. It looked to be less distracted- but then the author went off on these extremely far-fetched and irrelevant stories. Really, the whole entire "reality switch" storyline? Her dad coming back as a ghost? Issac's son meeting up with Lore? Really.

I certainly won't be a detractor from the lawfullness of the board.

Well...my english is not all that good...But Leo's english is good, despite the few mistakes everybody can make =)

Hi Arsenic! :welcome:

[Arsenic]

Thanks for the replies. :closedgrin:

Quite frankly I also don't know why I read BT exactly, must be the sadistic part of me. :eyebrow:

Reading BT is like jabbing one's interest in plot and complex characters with a fishing hook. Actually, more like getting a fishing hook caught in your brain- it won't let go unless some part of your mind goes. Kaput.

[Arsenic]

I see you don't like BT, that can't be helped ( at least not by me ). :closedgrin:

BTW, lyca do I know your avvie from somewhere?

[Tyraelis]

Naw, I don't hate it. It just simply was too painful to read or observe.

[Arsenic]

I do read a lot of Discworld books ( I am a bit of a fan - not rabid though :wink: ) so I am quite aquainted with the notion of fictional worlds.

Most sf ( In particular fantasy ) has it's own logic that doesn't have anything to do with our reality ( or how we perceve it ), and BT is no exeption.

[Tyraelis]

Terry Pratchett! Awesome! I read that as well (I've read as many of his books that I can buy and borrow). One of my main diets of literature consists of trim, healthy science fiction and fantasy. I have never picked up or glanced at books which use cheap imagery (such as covers) abusing the idea of "perfect heroes" and such. For instance, Dune is something I couldn't read after I knew the plot. I couldn't even read the series...

Do ya like Men at Arms? It's the one where you are introduced to Angua.

[Arsenic]

Yup. The whole City Watch series is very good. :closedgrin:

I don't really care about the images used in and around books - allthough it doesn't hurt - I am more interested in the words themselves.

Could you please elaborate "abusing the idea of perfect heroes" for I am an ignorant lout who cannot always follow the elaborate wordings of his fellow man. :wink:

[Tyraelis]

Nah, you're just a fellow who can't follow the letters on the page. (Joke, joke, don't hurt me)
"abusing the idea of perfect heroes"
If you read most of the Discworld novels you should have found the idea of the "perfect hero"- in the sense that Terry mentions it in Interesting Times. Rincewind is the "perfect coward," always running away, you see? However, in several books, you find heroes like Conan (the old, leather loincloth wearing viscious senior) and the younger counterparts, who, when given a quest, will have the intelligence to plan the whole thing, and still look they've got Arnold Schwarzenegger's body with swords and leather gear- well, from Conan the barbarian. "Abusing the idea of perfect heroes" is when they load the book with a male and female perfect hero, and they fall in love, or there's some bad soap-opera romance. And it's abused when they're featured on expensive covers (or covers made to show off how "perfect" they are).

[Arsenic]

And that happenes a lot, especcially is superhero themed comics.
