I'm largely a lurker at Slacktivist. I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate you being a voice of insight, rationality, creativity, and good sense over there... what I used to appreciate Jesurgislac for being. I've been following Slacktivist since before Fred started his LB series, and until recently she was one of my biggest idols. She has always come in for a lot of lying sexist crap and ill-informed insult from the likes of Bug, Jeff, and Duane, and it seemed to me, at the time, at least, that she was able to deflate it with wit and grace. Sometime lately, she seems to have gone at least half off the rails. Why, I won't speculate, or whether it's her or my perceptions that have changed.
I heard of Benighted (yeah, usonian here) through Slacktivist, and while I was reading it last month, found myself wondering whether you had had Jesu in mind at all when writing Lola. (Though I very much doubt it, considering the publication date.)
I also just want to say, the part where she makes Paul literally sing is satanically gorgeous.
: 2:25 am
You have a lovely day too, Tez.:-)
Here's a trade secret, though: her nosy neighbour Mrs Kitney was based on a salewoman who measured me for a bra once. (Nice woman, actually, she just had a slightly disconcerting air of conspiracy over what I considered a fairly unremarkable purchase.)
"Ungrateful Febreezer", indeed! Brilliant.
: 8:46 amAnonymous, no, it must be at least a dozen of us by now who've bought Benighted because of Slacktivist!
I do hope Jesurgislac is okay, and comes back from her vacation much happier with the world. I usually find her extremely insightful, and the once or twice lately she's said something that disturbed me I wondered what was up.
Anyway, Mika can nao rest assured that I have finally bookmarked her human's blog to read, so her future adventures will not go unread!
