>Azalynn woke up, sat up, and briefly wondered what the hell she >did. The original bit of phrasing that this hails from is one of my favorite scene starters of all time, entirely due to your influence, Ben. Part of it is the excellent use you've put it to, and the other is your ability to so excellently play off of it. This one just pushed that envelope :)

7. "Speaking of art,"
In response to message #6

LAST EDITED ON Sep-15-14 AT 01:27 AM (EDT) not that we were, but, I ran across this today. It's evidently a crossover/parody image with something else I'm not familiar with, but I dig it on its own merits.Mind you, Mio possesses certain qualities that militate against her being an effective swordswoman, primary among them the sad but inescapable truth that she's... well, a coward. :) On the other hand, a sword-toting high-school-rock-band bassist is not even slightly weird in the Dìqiú/Zipang system. I fully expect that, in/on both worlds (as well as on Ishiyama and certain parts of Tomodachi), the configuration of the sword pocket on one's gig bag is just another ordinary and expected layer of the transaction at, e.g., Guitar Center. "May I help you?" "Hi, yeah, I need a gig bag?" "No problem at all. Is it for a guitar or bass? Short scale or regular? Katana or ninja-tō? Left- or right-hand draw? Do you need a shuriken pocket?" --G. -><- Benjamin D.

If I didn't I wouldn't be on >these boards. Well, I guess you're in the right place, then. :) I was thinking last night, and it occurred to me that one of the main reasons why Azalynn is enjoying her self-imposed mission so much is because there's so much love in the little peer group she's observing. Azalynn is happiest when she's near people who love each other; she's not picky about whether it's the kind that involves gettin' it on like crazed mandrills or the kind that involves giving somebody else the chestnut from the top of your montblanc. And there's a helluva lot of Type 2 in Hōkago Tea Time. (Somewhere, Clarissa Broadbank and the ghost of Xenia Dessler are making ostentatious gagging noises.) >Moeryu. AHAHAHAHAHA > >...ahem.

Azalynn goes back to high school because the Great Magnet pulls her there, and ends up in a band? It makes more sense this way, even if it's less efficient.

Azalynn >goes back to high school because the Great Magnet pulls her there, and >ends up in a band? No, the underlying scenario would've been the same as that presented in the FD on HTT - Azalynn went to the school they attend in order to get more information on the amazing band whose demo found its way to Kate. The difference would've been that there was no actual Azusa Nakano, and it was the identity Azalynn assumed as part of her Jump Street strategy. But, like I say, I like the real Azusa too much to shuffle her out of the deck like that. Besides, she's likely to be the first one who suspects that the New Kid isn't what she seems. She's a skeptical little beast. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-18-14 AT 11:40 PM (EDT) >zomg. just imagine the orginal 21 Jump street if both Azalyn and >Johnny Depp were on the show. *swoons* please tell you have written >this already.... I have a bit, but in the interest of full disclosure, I was only using the reference as shorthand for the fact that Azalynn infiltrated a high school by posing as a student. It's not actually meant to have anything to do with 21 Jump Street. :) Oh hey, speaking of which, let me just run this by you guys: I've got the opening sequence (three scenes, plus the one already posted as a teaser) for The Federation Lives Forever finished, and I was looking at it tonight and noticing that it actually makes a pretty nice little story all by itself. Hypothetically, would you rather have that now and the part with the actual plot arc in it later under separate cover, or just wait and have the whole thing at once? Just a straw poll, nothing scientific, but I'm curious. With the school year under way, I don't really have the internal bandwidth for long-range planning, so I've been playing with the idea of doing something like a prose equivalent of those page-at-a-time-when-they're-done online comics. Sort of an extreme version of the "sequence of Minis that get compiled at the end" thing we've done a few times. I'm not sure whether that would be fun or annoying from the reader end, though. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

I have very mixed feelings about this, which means that you should probably just do whatever you feel like. On the one hand, I am always eager to read new material, even clips and teasers and the like. On the other, finished pieces are admittedly better to consume, and waiting for a sequence to be done reduces the chances of the author getting to the end and realizing that a bit back near the beginning should have been different, which maybe you're pretty confident won't happen in this case, but is something that occasionally bugs me a bit about the entire genre (genre? medium?) of serialized fiction. dbrandon |

>Oh heck, I'm not confident of anything. This is an experiment! A >serial experiment. But hopefully without quite as much >gratuitous surrealism as that phrase might tend to suggest in anime >fans of a certain age. :) Gratuitous surrealism leads to psychological indigestion. Psychological indigestion is that feeling you get after certain works (Lain being one of them, 2001: A Space Odyssey being another for me) where you're not sure what just happened, but you feel as if trying to understand it might cause irreparable damage.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-17-14 AT 02:17 AM (EDT) I just wrote the scene reffed in the original post. I didn't end up using "One Big Rush" for it.Instead, I used the 2001 Live in San Francisco version of "Summer Song". The intro has some very lovely guitarist-bassist-drummer dialogue happening, particularly from 1:15 to 1:48. In-universe, "Summer Song" is a Crush of Love song, but the Art like to cover it at their live shows and it's on their 2408 Perth concert album, The Art of Noise Beyond Thunderdome. --G. Merciful Grodd, I can't believe Live in San Francisco is 13 years old. -><- Benjamin D.
