I'm getting a kind of pretentious vibe from some of these posts. I don't wanna point fingers, not because I don't want to be rude, but because I want everyone to be paranoid about it. ;P It's a hard line to tread, since it's supposed to be an emotional experience for the characters, and popular culture doesn't offer much inspiration for that sort of thing, that isn't ridiculous - I'm pretty sure I've crossed the line too, even though I'd like to think my writing has an air of self-awareness to it. This is a good thread - one of the best I've seen - but we've been congratulating each other a whole lot, and I don't want it getting to anyone's head. Least of all my own.

I'll be posting too, at some point in the near future. Any character that tarries behind is gonna get a flame lit under their ass, mark my words.
