@KitFox OK!
KitFox

So give it to me straight. Is it crap?
Matt Эллен

What about more with the spider lady?
KitFox
KitFox
No, no, it's an allegory.
Or do you mean I should expand on the development of the character?
Matt Эллен
Matt Эллен
oh. I see. I don't know what concepts you're aiming at.
KitFox
KitFox
Well, that's why I was thinking maybe it's just crap.

@KitFox I enjoy it. I don't fully understand what you're getting at, but I also didn't realise there was more than met the eye

I'm not sure why this story has gotten me all worked up.
I feel very agitated about it.

Matt Эллен
It's good writing. It paints a good picture
KitFox
KitFox
Thanks.

@KitFox what's agitating you about it?
KitFox
KitFox
I don't know. I think I like it because it is different.
So I have more investment in it than usual.
And I have these odd quirks about symmetries and stuff.

which symmetries are those?

Well, in this story, the beginning and the end contrast with each other.
There is the filling of the notebook.
There is the gradual disappearance of forgetting.
There are representations of the Fates, and the Triple Goddess.
And the darkness.
It is possible that I will blow a gasket trying to find the proper balance.
Like when my son had a toy with eleven effing posts for six different color cogs.
So. What am I trying to say?
Matt Эллен
Matt Эллен
are you asking me?
KitFox
KitFox
I guess that fate is inescapable, the universe doesn't give a crap about people, and frail, fleeting human relationships are the only thing that can give us meaning.
How does that sound?
Matt Эллен
Matt Эллен
I see. Yes I get that from the story :)

So I guess that it what I want to convey, which is pretty bold compared to what I usually write.
