@MattЭллен Hey, Matt! Nice. Sweet ending.
I can see the you were tired of writing it though.
Matt Эллен
@KitFox heh. did that come across?
KitFox
There's a distinct drop back and punt feel to the end.
Matt Эллен
it was late at night and I didn't want it playing on my mind anymore
KitFox
A sort of "I'm just gonna wrap this up for you."
Matt Эллен
@KitFox is that the long exposition
yeah
KitFox
12:36 PM
It was still a fun read though.
Matt Эллен
thanks :)
KitFox
@MattЭллен Yep.
And nothing that wouldn't come out in the rewrite, I think.
But you'd have to make it a longer story for that.
So you'll just have to incorporate it into your novel.
Matt Эллен
:O
maybe.
I've been thinking of a horror plot
I might could get Harold and Maude in there...
or Jethro and Molly
not Benson. He's an idiot
KitFox
Mmm, horror plot.
Maybe that's what I should do with mine too.
The problem is that it would fit nicely with the major arcana.
Which means it would be expected and typical.
Matt Эллен
hmmm. yeah
KitFox
12:40 PM
Speaking of horror, I'm afraid I may have offended @Nathan. I haven't seen him in weeks.
He was writing some Lovecraftian prose.
Which is why I finally got off my duff and read some Lovecraft.
Matt Эллен
oh. have you got the complete works free ebook?
it's here
KitFox
D'awww
.
Matt Эллен
hehehe

How is Cthulhu pronounced?
Matt Эллен
I don't know
I've always pronounced it with a k at the begining
Gigili
@KitFox You should have sent me one of those as a birthday gift. Really.
Matt Эллен
/k'θulu/
Gigili
Now that's difficult to pronounce. K+th, good that 'h' is silent.
1 hour later…
DForck42

@Gigili i pronounce it as "ka-thew-lew"
KitFox
gesundheit
DForck42
@KitFox thanks, i jsut sneezed
1 hour later…
Gigili
5:50 PM
@DForck42 Yeah. I think 'h' is also pronounced slightly.
As in "when". My best teacher taught me how to pronounce "when" with 'h'.
Like, wehen.
DForck42
@Gigili i throw the lhu together in the "lew" part
Gigili
Or something.
@DForck42 Ah OK.
DForck42
@Gigili :-D
KitFox
6:04 PM
@Gigili Ick. You might as well say Huwen, like pretentious upper-class twits.
DForck42
@KitFox heh
Gigili
Why are you hehing?
My teacher was/is no pretentious upper-class twits.
Nor am I.
KitFox
Hmm. I can't hear an h there, but then why would I, I suppose. I don't hear my own accent.
DForck42
6:23 PM
@KitFox so do you have an idea for tomorrow?
KitFox
Yeah, but I don't much like it.
What about you?
DForck42
@KitFox still sticking with the whole world is an rpg thing
KitFox
foxfirekitty.wordpress.com/nanowrimo/basic-plan
@DForck42 Oh right. I was going to ask you some questions about that, but I don't remember them right now.
DForck42
@KitFox :-D
s'alright, i've asked myself several questions about it as well
KitFox
It was something along the lines of the 'experience' in RPGs is built in to mimic the improvement in our skills over time in real life.
So how would that be different in your world?
Would they have a counter they could view or something?
Gigili
6:27 PM
What's the exercise about?
DForck42
@KitFox i was thinking about that, and haven't setteled on any one thing yet
KitFox
I know I found myself thinking in those terms a lot after I played the Sims.
"My social meter is low, so I should call a friend."

For the 9/18/2012 chat, we'll bring an idea of what we might write about for NaNoWriMo, and we will brainstorm on expanding or enhancing those plots.
Or whatever you want to bring to share with the group.
Gigili
I have no idea what NaNoWriMo is, I'll have to google it.
