Quirky Articals
Posted Jul 6, 2001
Okay,
what I am trying to do with the articals I write is add a bit a flavor to H2G2 and have attempted to write it in a chatty, irreverant style.
That not everyone gets them is the whole point of the articals in my opinion the more quirky h2g2 is the better, much like Douglas's work that is the inspiration behind this whole thing.
I personally would love to see for example different spoken languages used, more quirky articals just more texture in general.
Plus of course I am trying to do is go with the big h2g2 "in joke" , thats is that the articals are written in a obviously personal, opinionated, quirky way but presented in a neutral voice for example you don't tend to see in the articals "in my opinion" even though when you read the text it obviously is only their opinion!
I hope my little lump of text here has helped you understand where I am coming from.
