   In case you were having trouble with picturing us shooting our messages back and forth, this should come in pretty handy. I guess this is a Halloween special, because in it I reference Terry Bisson and STOMATOPODA, last year's spooky story. (This year's offering coming up atcha!)

I don't know how to imagine you- what exactly do you do when waiting for my responses?

Read pirated books, chat with folks and read humorous tales I find on the internet?

Oh, man, you read "they're made out of meat" yet? Um, anyway, I'm just writing down every single way society would change if we had that ghost-splitting thing, is what I do.

I'm outlining the Parasite Girl and Cyber-Africa stories better.
And, nope, should I? Any good?

It's a short story, the conversation between two aliens who are baffled by the idea that we think with meat brains and communicate with flapping meat lips, and it turns out that this is the reason no aliens have contacted us yet.

Huh. I guess I never thought of it as off putting, myself.

I guess I've always been jealous of the chromatophores that cephalopods have. Smug cuttlefish and their 200dpi screens.

Oh, yeah, I did a story on that, with these lobster things that have the same thing, and so they turn invisible and terrorize a guy when his house flooded. I forget the names of them, but they've literally got mad chops.

So yeah, meat flaps may be a tad uninspired, but they're not off-putting. But I guess I'm biased.

Alright. Um... Are we done here?

Re: Story Idea
From Persomem to POMegranate   Jan 29, 2012 9:24 pm
That was pretty good stuff. And, yeah, I guess so?
