@zebratron2084 "MDers do not hear voices or see people that are not real,[2]" okay well I guess that's not me then. :|
@zebratron2084 "Maladaptive daydreamers may become emotionally attached to their characters as well, though they know the characters are not real.[2]" so basically writers. FUCK YOUUUUUU
@emanate @zebratron2084 @literorrery eee, thank you! ^____^
@kara_dreamer@witches.town and now I'm listening to the rest of the series, because I had a version on cassette that I don't know where it came from and it was slightly different?? I literally memorized bits of it, and now I'm VERY CONFUSED, so I'm trying to figure out where that version came from/went. if I just imagined it all... well, that would be frankly typical of me, tbh.

@kara_dreamer@witches.town I actually haven't heard the original radio finale--I've only heard the second radio broadcast, which ends with the gang hijacking the Disaster Area black ship and something something black hole explosion something, I don't really remember. nifty awesome, thank you! :D
@kara_dreamer@witches.town oh yes. part of that is the sense of humor--I love that kind of thing, but I know some people bounce off it hard. part of it is that writing wasn't really DA's passion, and he doesn't seem to have actually liked it much, and been sometimes annoyed by it being his main source of income. XD
oh my gosh pileated woodpecker mask/costume SO PRETTY EEEEEE https://www.facebook.com/featherduststudio/photos/pb.230402037719.-2207520000.1470538217./10154394575897720/?type=3
@zebratron2084 I kinda figured you'd probably be unavailable until after the move. *shyly adds @literorrery to the pinglist* I'd like to come over to the Station sometimes too, to see all y'all, because I like you and your community. :]
@zebratron2084 as for "they'd know what to do"... I look at William Gibson & Charles Stross' twitter feeds, and, well. ouch, ouch, ouch. :/
oh I guess CW: death
otoh I'm kind of glad that pTerry died when he did--before the Brexit nonsense, and Trump. I like to think that he died when the world was a more hopeful place, and he didn't have to deal with all the crap we're slogging through now. :|
@Jacel @mawr and for ghu's sake don't bother with "And Another Thing," which was written by someone else as an homage to DA using some of the notes from "The Salmon of Doubt," but manages to be *amazingly* tedious to read. like, there's funny parts, but most of it is "somebody obviously trying much too hard to write like Douglas Adams and failing."
