D&D die




let's talk about the digitalized literature argument
unraveling...

b/c it's all ephemeral bb
and if great literature is timeless why are there so many footnotes?
at the same time people were writing for posterity
...other people were not

this has been the case since before print
popular fiction is not always: literature is not always popular
see: faulkner (oop before the pocket version)
that's my favorite reference for literary popularity
and im p sure that dickins was trying to write accessible popular fiction

so the argument is null
there has been & always will be the d&d die with many sides; it's still one die:
a rectangle is not always a square but a square is always a rectangle, dig?
how presumptuous to think that a reblogged poem means it wasn't read or that it meant nothing to the reader
do you even know what a reblog is?
it means you actually like something enough to put it on your own blog
...damn gurl

how presumptuous to think that b/c information is disseminated digitally that it will result in the death of the story
puh leeze gurl puh leeze
the spread of information is a good thing & ppl are still takin their damn time

what is it anyway if not meant to be consumed (en masse or not)
i gotta get this out and it might mean it's not like 26 years, but it could be
i could be marguerite duras and write the same fucking story of my life over and over again
...but you wouldn't know

ultimate fallacy word = "only"
don't use it; scrap that it hurts yer argument bb

i see you lookin, i know yer curious
i have a god dammned stat counter
i write about anything
today, tumblr, google, gun control, and there's nothing to stop me
not even you
...i say this with love
b/c you opened the door when i wasn't even knocking

i will say this: great stories, poems & literature stay in the human consciousness for a reason: it's b/c fiction can tell a certain truth that reality will never tell
