Call me D. I'm a guy but really don't look like the guy avatar on here so there you go. I am returning to gaia a bit after a long break, poking around.
Thank you. Yours is pretty spiffy, too.
Also, I've meant to ask - did you come up with the phrase "gilded ghosts and stringless kites"? If not, what is it from? Either way, I love it.
I figured I would head for a Utopian Dystopia for a bit.
Or perhaps it's still Dystopian, who can tell for sure. Tyrannical captains obsessed with gold... Or maybe a great leader who has been donated to by the people.
Who decides which is which, I wonder? c:
It's not even necessarily a butterfly effect. If you had the ability to rearrange the basic compounds just slightly, it would be easy to turn people into bombs.
What I would do to understand alchemy to an effect of using it against physics...
I have yet to read that one. I believe it's in my anthology, though.
I didn't. Strange trivia to throw out there, but I know the feeling. Spontaneous combustion is a fascinating subject. Sort of an alchemical connection, if you think about it... Composition of the body and sudden, drastic changes to minute things such as sulfur buildup... An amazing process, to be honest.
Have you ever thought about turning people into bombs?
I hear voices...

Clone away. That's why it's there.

Black comedy in some of them too.
I like the mysticism in it all. He was quite superstitious.
Are you fond of Poe, or do you just admire that his poem has raven imagery?
