je voudrais jouer un jeu, s’il vous plait

Might I suggest The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen, an improvisational storytelling game of danger, romance, and talking shit about the French? Players assume the roles of aristocratic adventurers and take turns spinning implausible stories about their various heroic exploits, while the others act as audience and interject their own nitpicking objections by spending game currency; the speaker may either reject the interruption with a sharp (and mandatory) insult, or go double or nothing by incorporating the objection into their tale. Intractable disagreements of fact are to be resolved via duel – which the text is quite clear means live steel, though less lethal alternatives are grudgingly permitted for the benefit of cowards and children.

(Also included are a variety of alternative milieux, rules for team play, and a tabletop implementation of Mornington Crescent, because why the hell not?)

I decided instead of "change something" my new year's resolution is going to be about "learn something," so I'm going to learn the names of plants and how to identify them, especially ones native to my area.

That’s awesome and a fun and interesting goal!

You just need to plot more, probably. Be conniving!

My longer answer would be Noooooooo ;)

My understanding is that the 19th century serialization format pressured authors to write A LOT to keep the story going, which led to wordiness, convoluted plots, and a whole lot of filler. So that's Dickens's deal. I love his style and humor but his books definitely suffer from the above problems. Same goes for Melville. Fans will fight me on this, but that damn whale book did NOT need that many chapters of random whale info. He just needed the money, and I can't blame him for that.

yeah but elizabeth gaskell was actually pushed to condense her storyline for serialization so what’s dickens’s excuse for un-condensing? (i mean to be honest here i’m not really invested in finding out why, i haven’t read any dickens so i don’t care it just seems weird you know?)

@suchprettypride I have no idea! It’ll prolly be anywhere from a sentence to a paragraph to a scene tied, however vaguely, to the prompt

A Changeling: The Lost game in which all Contracts must adhere to the rules of US Contract Law (and must be notarized for full effect).

Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology is really just that -- it's stories from Norse Mythology as retold by Neil Gaiman. It's my favorite set of retellings, not just because I love Neil Gaiman but also because most retellings come off pretty dry, since they're trying to stick to the bare bones of the story as we know it, but Gaiman, being a story teller, really tells them as STORIES, gives them a little more character than usual.

oooooohhhh it’s a collection! okay i didn’t know that but now that i do, my next library pick up will definitely be this one!

2) Punching your muse in the face

This guy had been getting on Bobby’s nerves since the moment they first crossed paths. He didn’t even know who the man was, but his scarred face was getting to be all too familiar.

The sarcastic comments didn’t help, either; he didn’t appreciate being mocked by someone who he didn’t know, and didn’t have a reason to get to know any better. And God only knew why - or how - the little ass kept showing up anyway.

Then he showed up at a bar while Bobby was on a job, and just hearing the far too recognisable voice made the hunter’s knuckles start to itch. He was several drinks gone - definitely enough to get his temper up - and at the next crack, he didn’t even hesitate. He just turned and swung his fist as hard as possible straight into that unbelievably infuriating face.

My family rented a house by the beach and just chilled there for three days with like zero expectations. It was SUCH a relaxing change from the usual. Also, I randomly picked up a copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's on the way there, and it got passed around and almost everybody read it, which was a totally unplanned lovely little thing to share!

I can’t imagine celebrating Christmas Day in a warm climate, but I love everything about your get away!
