an unprovoked rant about fiction.
by Scott St. Pierre
I don’t know why, but I decided to write an unprovoked rant about fiction. Here’s the end result. So much has been done with fiction.

(via Mightyflynn)
Funny story: My old man gets cancer, survives, vows thenceforth to see as much of the world as he can, drags me all over creation, and leaves mind-bending mishaps in his wake. Our next mission? Tour rapidly defrosting Iceland and Greenland. Bad idea? You could say that.

The face of digital media has shifted considerably in the last two years. Facebook is now our time-tested platform of news and voyeurisim; every cell phone has a camera, and every step in a day is now a landscape for a mobile upload, Tumblr post, or a Twitpic.

Fiction within fiction – made-up worlds and... →
Stories within stories, dreams and made-up universes are all tricky because once you leave your story’s established world the reader may leave you too. How do you keep them with you?
