h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I commend your bravery, sir/ma'am (still confused). I would never have the courage to let my alter-ego's/people in my head out. Mainly because they are all head cases, wield guns, or are dead.

Mind you, makes for a good book.

That would be why I am a writer then!

!WAHEY!

Martin - Wow. Just got through reading the whole thingamajiggy re: your characters (I now understand!)...quite impressed by your character development detail. And I thought I was the only one that did that. I have a whole range of people that I encorperate into stories, and in order to know them I basically make them into "grown-up" imaginary friends (they are also good company most of the time - except for when some of the nasty mean one's start to bother me). It's not completely for the same reasons (although it could be and I haven't quite figured it out yet), as yours seem to be on a purely self-gratifying level, but it is basically the same occurance. I do have a bit of child abuse and various bad treatment - bullying, neglect etc in my background, but it's not really a mental condition. I like to think of it as not only defining who I am more specifically, but also as a good use of the creative side of me. However, whereas 10 minutes ago I thought I had a pretty good standard going, you've raised the bar for me...so another level of self-improvement shall probably occur in me now. I probably won't put it all up on h2g2, being that I intend to use them for monetary thingys, but...well...I'm well gob-smacked...*appreciation*



So tally-ho and all that white-sweater weather jargon.

Understand, I now do.

Well not purely self-gratification (though that is of course part of it) because I'm vaguelly trying to switch into writing as a career or at least a serious hobby. But mostly, yeah.

Other nice feature is it means I don't get trapped into being self-consistent if I don't want to be.

Glad you liked the character development. And glad to have been the inspiration for someone
-Martin (et al)

I think I sound way too overenthusiastic about something so minature (for the world of h2g2 is vast and varied) but I am well impressed with your "skills"...

Although I don't like the sound of your female counterparts. Scary. Hidden sexual preferences methinks?

Not at all - it's nice to get compliments - and they're all important to *me* at least.

Hidden sexual preferences? Heh, ask Lucy

-Martin

Martin - No! You tell me.

Lucinda - Although I would like to hear your top ten tips on how to catch a man...

Lucinda says she wished she knew. Some kind of large net, perhaps?

Sexual preferences... like in what sense? We prefer women, if that helps, though probably wouldn't say no to the right guy...

You have some personal interest in the answer? *mildly amused look*
-Martin

Noooooooooooooooooooo that's dirty!!!

Huh? What is?

Says the founder of 'WEE'...

Hey! It's a rebel faction. The POO came first!
