What ISN'T FanFiction?

This episode is a meta fanfiction discussion between ChaosBlue and Neel.

Happy Sunday, ya’ll! We’re a bit behind with regular episodes this month due to scheduling conflicts, but we’ll be back on track very soon. In the meantime I’ve dropped a new bonus episode today!

This is a meta discussion between me and Neel.  We discuss the peculiar nature of fanfiction and wonder aloud if it really differs all that much from what we would call ‘original’ published fiction. We talk about the powerful influence of corporate publishing channels and the way corporate power shapes literary elitism, which in turns shapes the cultural narrative of art and literature.

Thank you for coming on the show @kissing-chefs!!

rupture

At our parting of ways, Neither you cried nor I, then, why do neither of us sleep peacefully my companion they were but we never harmonized There were feelings of animosity, Indifference and anguish, dear departed had everything, but not unfaithfullness Like the clouds and sunlight, together but as apart as can be My companion they were. Putting kohl is hard now The graininess of my kohl is tough to bear In the eyes that hold my beloved Who else can be beheldl At the time of parting your eyes had my song And it was the song that I had never sung aloud Like clouds and sunlight, together but as apart as can be

Liquid Bridges

In 1893, Baron Armstrong demonstrated a peculiar phenomenon – a liquid bridge of water suspended between two beakers with a strong electric charge between them. (Image and research credit: X. Pan et al.) Read the full article

MANEJA EL ENOJO A TU ANTOJO

Si me preguntas si me enojo, mi respuesta es si. Todos en algún momento se nos “salta la térmica”. El asunto radica en cómo manejamos esta emoción primaria, que todos los seres humanos tenemos, aunque muchos lo nieguen. El doctor Maslow, pionero en la inteligencia emocional, nos dice que el control de las emociones primarias y secundarias, es fundamental para una vida más plena y duradera. ¿ Qué carajo ganas con dejarte llevar por esa mier….coles ?, si lo único que te trae es mal humor, pensamientos negativos y que se te suba la presión. Algunos actúan por venganza; sin argumentos sólidos. Además, el daño que te hacen, no se cura con hacer más daño; mas bien hacerlo, es como si te incrustarás tú mismo un puñal en el vientre. ¿ Vale la pena pensar en las que te hicieron, las que no pudieron, y las que quisieron, pero no pudieron ?, creo que NO !!! Aprende a elegir tus batallas. Recuerda que tu enojo no sólo te afecta a vos, sino también a los que te rodean y no tienen la culpa. Existen personas “coprófagas y tóxicas”. No entres vos a ese “club”. Toma en cuenta la ley física que dice: Al aplicar una fuerza sobre algo, recibirás una fuerza opuesta igual. Aquí te doy unos tips, para cuando se te dispare la testosterona y te disminuya el cortizol (en español latino: cuando estás bien encabronado): 1. Salga a caminar 2. Cuente hasta 50 o más 3. Bañese con agua fría 4. Vaya de compras 5. Respire profundo y sonría que, al final, la vida hay que vivirla con alegría.

P.D.: ¡ Dejate de joder, CARPE DIEM !

in the darkness of my mind I'm unraveling

Swaddled and sleeved in water, I dive to the rocky bottom and rise as the first drops of sky find the ocean. The waters above meet the waters below, the sweet and the salt, and I’m swimming back to the beginning. The forecasts were wrong. Half the sky is dark but it keeps changing. Half the stories I used to believe are false. Thank God I’ve got the good sense at last not to come in out of the rain. The waves open to take in the rain, and sunlight falls from the clouds onto the face of the deep as it did on the first day before the dividing began.
