All hail Discordia!

Also, it brings new meaning to the whole, "I'm a depressed Roman" thing.
And I never quite noticed this in my youth (as if I'm not still in my youth!), but Piers Anthony really makes you think a lot more than you realize, even in his "Entertainment" fiction. Of course, Heinlen did the same thing, and they both play with a lot of interesting concepts, and now I realize why I'm SO FRICKIN' WEIRD.
Go out and read about ten Heinlen books, then the Incarnations of Immortality series and some other Piers Anthony books, and then you will see why I grew up the way I did. I STARTED READING THESE THINGS WHEN I WAS EIGHT. NO WONDER.
Then again, it probably also has a lot to do with puns. no one else laughs at ANY of Mr. Decker's jokes. I die. I swear, it's not my fault!
I'm not writing much fanfic anymore. I'm working on original fic because my mom made me promise to submit something in six months. Back in January. Not get it accepted, just submit it. And for that, I get two years of Writer's Digest. Um, *WINNAR!*
Oh. Uhm. Ahem. .... ....FNORD.
