- suddenly the vision flashed across the goblin's mind of an eagle whose talon held the lizard's tail up in triumph, but the goblin just laughed, saying "...ah but the lizards are still at large, very artful of those regimes to offer up their democratic tails here..."
Fleamailman, I'm not sure I understand you but at least the lizard can regrow his tail.. Running off laughing at the Eagle. So I guess the Eagle had lunch and the lizard got away. Win, win! the goblin was merely stating that the real artists were the cronies of those regimes who, together with their military support, that run counties like egypt, where when faced overthrow choose to lose their dictators, their tails then, while keeping the rest of the lizard firmly in place, so the goblin just said "...for example, hosni mubarak agrees to hold an election is six month's time, "not good enough" cries the plebs, so he resigns handing over power to general whathisname, who then says "ok folks, elections in six month's time again" and the crowd is appeased with the tail, not noting that it is exactly what hosni mubarak offered in the first place, ample time for the cronies to regroup and whisk away the country's wealth, win/win it is not, well not for the egyptians who have let the lizard out-smart them with a tail...."

| repost from elsewhere "...the worst compliment is the one that stops you continuing, besides what on writes only has to please one person now, the one who has to live with what he has written..." mentioned the goblin continuing "...for imagine if you liked it and no one else did, would you stop writing because of them, van gogh perhaps, or conversely imagine they loved it and you alone didn't, would you become doyle churning out sherlock holmes book...", so the goblin played to the crowd, yes, but he wrote for himself | |

- one click on the lupus forum soon nips that forums are for fun conjecture in the bud..." replied the goblin, where there were many very real and serious forums out there, adding ...and you can't converse with a book
Goblin, you're missing the point. Yes, serious subjects are discussed on forums, and yes, they're interactive, which a book isn't. So? It's not either/or. I don't get paid for posting on forums, and I don't get off by posting in a particular style on hundreds of forums, as you obviously do. I don't care if I make an "internet presence" -if I did, I'd put my name and links to my books in my sig. And I'm not going to find whole, great information and stories like what I recently bought below on any forum. I don't count free chapters of fantasy crap on some unpublished writer's blog as worth reading. If that's all we end up with because publishing is on a decline, the velocity of our dumbing-down is going to increase with lightning speed. "...ah now, I like that post, proves you've been holding back on us, even if I feel the truth to be the opposite, in that, walk into any bookshop and it's the publishing world has lots of fastbuck books by crap authors, whereas forumland, because it has no financial incentive, leaves readers to make their own choices upon the merit of what one is reading, and so no, this is not dumbing down, for you only have to look at the posts on this thread alone to see if anything our minds are sharpened by our [s]mudslinging[/s], whoops, correspondence then..." mentioned the goblin, adding "...but you are right though, I did see my mother, for all her wealth and ability, go mentally inactive and socially disengaged just like so many other old like her, till she drowned alone in merlin's cave, simply, "livewriters feed" and I will be known by my posts now, promise, or at least I will know myself by those posts then..." | |

| repost from elsewhere, writers infighting over which genre of writing is better "...well it's no wonder I remain anonymous on forumland..." voiced the goblin again, somehow breakfast was no longer that casual newspaper-read over toast and coffee that it had once been, where even the television too seems so contrived, to skip over the important factors in life, that it hardly seemed worth watching now, yes, oil had peaked, and yes, america was never going to leave iraq while the remaining oil supply would either go to the highest bidder or to those firmly in place there, moreover, everyone knew that the dollar's debt of trillions was just insurmountable, so the goblin just said "...it's all just borrowed time now, where everything you see, and everywhere you look, is all fossilfuel based products, so within this context then, can one seriously be arguing here about whether one genre of book is more important than another, while we're soon reaching seven billion people on our planet now, and where most agriculture is fossilfuel dependent, the fertilizer from natural gas, transportation, etc., so now, with this in mind and with a writing ability less than those around me here, I'll let you tell me what I really should be using my pen for..." | |

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jan/22/social-networking-cyber-scepticism-twitter What do you think? living next to an old age home, and still haunted by those memories of his mother surrounded by a bunch of lone silent old folk parked forgottenly in front of a droning television, the goblin's attitude remains one that normal socializing ill serves the old here, saying "...and perhaps facebook is not the answer either, since facebook too is very dependent on visuals such as ones looks and status, etc., so just give me forumland, let me hide my age and looks for their superficial irrelevance to our communication now...", in fact, since the goblin was the only one in the bistro this wet dull gray morning, he had asked the owner to turn off the pop music for once, whereupon a silence reminiscent of a library had taken over from there then, yet within this silence his mind eagerly raced across those written words typed upon the open slot once more, saying "...so why shout when you can talk, and why talk when you can write it down, and why just write when you can readily communicate it across forumland, yet I can still shout where need be, but do I really need to shout where you can hear my voice clearly through these words you read of me..." | |

| repost from elsewhere "...and now for the oil panic..." went the goblin enjoying the posts again, but feeling under the weather himself through overwork, albeit the easiest of work under a cloudless blue sky too, adding "...just this shadow of fear then, where everything about my life today is wonderful save for whatever that shadow could be, for it's like hearing in the back of my mind the smith's song panic where always I smile knowing that britain could never change like that, but then I look across to france now, sensing that the panic that morrissey was singing about, that refrain of "I wonder to myself" then, was not so far-fetched after all...", in fact, the goblin felt much like macbeth looking across at the forest of complacency gradually moving towards him, yes he couldn't see the wood for the trees, yet somehow he knew that those modern media witches were revealing the news all too neatly to their advantage | |

the list includes, but not limited to : 1) who really cares about my ideas or opinions 2) I'm still studying english so my grammar is just slightly above mediocre 3) some things I would like to write about are projects I don't want usurped 4) not enough time in the day | |

- Guys! Halp!
Okay, these questions are kinda random but if you could answer them I’d be super grateful! I just need to figure out (sorta) guys reactions for stuff for my story. Cause I have a 20 year old guy who I’m scared is turning out to girly!!!!!!! Halp me
1) Say you’re standing someplace, minding your own business and someone comes up and hits you over the head…. What would you do? 2) You’re hanging out with a bunch of your friends… what would you most likely be doing? 3) Reaction to seeing a cute girl…. 4) What’s your biggest pet-peeve? 5) How old were you when you first kissed a girl outside of your family? 6) Do you find these questions annoying? 7) You have the house to yourself for an entire weekend. What would you do if your only source of entertainment was a stuffed animal? Okay, I hope you don’t find these questions too creeper-ish, but I really need to figure out guys for this, I’m getting kinda desperate!!! J
and with that the goblin showed, saying "...ah yes, another winconsin questionnaire for some job interview no doubt, honestly the kids these days, I don't know what this world is coming to now...", whereupon the goblin looked upon the questions, reading them, somehow imagining superman changed coming out of the phonebooth to the words "this is a job for the someone else", until he came across the question about what one would do with a stuff animal over the weekend, saying "...well, I thought we could have some red wine over a candle-lit dinner for the two of us, following by a chat by the fireplace on the sofa, or maybe some a bit slow dancing to some mood making music, followed by whatever took our imaginations now..." | |

"...I suppose what I am is just what you read of me now..." replied the goblin without malice though, continuing "...for we are actually anonymous, though within reason I'll believe whatever you tell me to be the truth about yourself, where if you like, you can fit me neatly into that "married with children" bracket then...", no, the goblin was trying hard not to bring too much of his dailylifeself into his persona here, somehow he knew too, that for this to work, the persona had to be both faceless and ageless to be credible, adding "...oddly perhaps, I never wish to see your photo, nor know your age either, for me you're just what you become here, yet what you become here is as much you, and has the right to be you too, as that "you" you see in the mirror now, think of it as inner and outer selfs perhaps, or more simply an internet's peter pan watching the decline of ones dailylife's wendy...", and yet, those around him on this forum were content to be, or wished to become a recognized writer, where the goblin had often likened that same recognition to medusa's stare then, perhaps he had missed something then, so instead he asked the wolf what she really wanted from her posting | |

and so, back the goblin returned, looked over the post and simply smiled to the words he uttered to himself, saying "...and what would you have me believe then, that writers are somehow objective in their writing, well maybe afterwards, or perhaps before too, but not during, no, what they never tell you that they are not in control the moment the inspiration hits, far from it, they are following it, feeling for it, trying to catch it their own words now, where it is so purely subjective and momentary that perhaps the writer becomes a go-between here, one that relates that vision he sees for himself to the blind man who reads these lines of him...", in fact, the goblin didn't really know what he wrote about, well not much before he saw what he had written, besides, he was anonymous too, so he couldn't link anything either, but instead he asked in return "...to be honest, I am looking for the livewriters, yes those who recognize this forumland as their place to write in, after all, what with a declining bookworld, perhaps it's time to write for somewhere where the readers actually are now, so I suppose the real question is who then, amongst the thousands of posters across forumland that is, is going to conquer forumland first..." | |

| repost from elsewhere the goblin liked that picture very much, saying "...yes, this thread looks so much better for the pictures...", meanwhile his mind just went back to his usual habit of buying old laptops for peanuts and then installing linux to them, while almost always giving them on to someone in need, saying "...the live-cd is a joy to work with, simply one boots up the computer on the live-cd, and then checks to see if all the drivers are recognized, and then and only then, one installs, meaning that, unlike windoze, one doesn't end up with a laptop that is missing x or y driver upon install, simply, no extra downloading and guessing then...", also, the goblin remembered that the ip address changed with the session, the mac address behind the ip address was a clone too, in a word "anonymous", so that, if one generously contributed a laptop to all those local bistros one frequents for anyone to use, the bistro owner would think that you were a kind hearted soul, while of course one could then use that computer anonymously like now then, concluding "...but why should they know it's me anyway, where is the freedom of speech where one is held accountable for what one says..." | |

ah, but if one is anonymous, a representation, only a character, are you really attacking the real person? How can the character have any real legal identity? and how can anything written by a character be held against that character? They don't exist. they are merely a represntation. | |
