I was actually there.
Hello Mr Gaiman.
I just finished reading The Ocean At The End Of The Lane and sir, you write beautifully.
Also, I'd like to express one of my concerns about GO. Usually when the plot of a series strays away from the original plot, or if many seasons are added, often I have noticed that the plot gets "diluted" (excuse me if the expression is wrong, English isn't my first language) and I am worried this is gonna happen in the new season.
Okay. Probably the best thing to do would be to wait another 24 days and then see if that's what has happened.
The patented âwait and seeâ Neil Gaiman response.đ

One of the greatest scenes ever.
SMOOTH, JOHNNY, REAL SMOOTH.
I don't think we talk enough about exactly how important dressing in a way that makes you attractive to you can be. Bc being your own type might not be heaven on earth but sometimes it gets so close you can't tell them apart anymore.

You know another thing I love about Babylon 5? The internal consistency - the callbacks to the little things from previous episodes. No need to reinvent the wheel every time something goes wrong - theyâre constantly pulling up whatâs been introduced previously, in one- or two- off episodes, and making those little details plot relevant again.
Itâs a nice contrast to those shows which seems to send its team off on some fetch quest or new puzzle every climactic event. Makes all those little episodes feel meaningful, not just for the viewer, but for the characters too!
Basic Story Structure
Basic story structure looks like this:
Setup/Exposition - we meet the protagonist in their every day life, possibly meet a few other important characters, and learn important basics about the setting. We also learn about the protagonistâs internal conflict.
Rising Action - The inciting incident turns the characterâs life upside down, the character responds by forming a goal. The protagonist pursues this goal while the antagonist/antagonistic force throws obstacles into their path, which they must overcome. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail and have to try again or find a way around it. This struggle builds the conflict and increases the tension as the story races toward the climax.
Climax - this is the âbig showdown,â where the protagonist faces the antagonist/antagonistic force head-on, and usually (but not always) succeeds.
Falling Action - this is the aftermath of the big showdown, where the dust settles and all the final pieces come to rest. Most of the storyâs loose ends will be tied up here if they werenât tied up already.
Resolution/Denouement - this is where the story is wrapped up once and for all. We see the protagonist (and other characters) settled back in their old life or getting used to a new normal. If there is a moral to the story, it is revealed here. If the story is leading into a second book, a little bit of set-up for the new story will occur here.

âŚIf only if in practice it was actually this simple. :)
That said: we all have to start somewhere. Build castles in the sand long enough, and eventually youâll wind up doing actual castles⌠if youâve got any persistence.
That was more than a little rude.
That is an easy to understand breakdown of plot progression thatâs self labeled as âbasicâ
Itâs clear, itâs easy, and can be applied to most narratives. Which makes it a useful analysis and also writing tool.
Comparing it to building sand castles as opposed to âreal writingâ as building âactual castlesâ is not at all encouraging or helpful. Especially combined with how you used the trailing elipses to go into the comment about persistence.
Thereâs a saying I grew up with that seems relevant here. Sometimes if you have nothing nice to say, itâs best to say nothing.
You could just as easily explain that a story has a beginning, a middle and an end, usually in that order, and it would be about as useful as that diagram.
One thing that Iâve found talking to any experts in any field is that when I say âAh, so, this is a straightforward thing that you as an expert can agree with me on,â the expert nods cheerfully and says âwell, itâs not actually as simple as thatâ and explains and, disappointingly, it never is.
Sometimes when you have nothing nice to say you can feel itâs your job to warn other people of potential roadblocks ahead.
Me, I would always listen to Diane Duane about story because she has forgotten more than I know, and she has written for more media and more types of media than I have. And Iâve done a lot of different kinds of writing. Rather than telling her off because you believe her reply is rude, you might be better off saying âhow do you mean?â And hoping that she elaborates, and that you will learn useful things from her elaboration.
First of all, here's a gift. It's a link to download a free ebook, my way o⌠David Gerrold needs your support for Help Move David Gerrold's
Want to help the man who helped me get started? Hereâs a way.
While David didn't help me get started, reading his book on the making of The Trouble With Tribbles taught me an incredible amount about writing for TV which I later put to good use on Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Good Omens and so forth.
Just saw Rise of the Beasts...and there's no fanfic...
Will update when I actually get something out there but let's hope this hits the target audience of TF fans and people gay for Hailee Steinfeld because her absence is a crime.
A few other things as well but mostly her absence I am VERY ANGY that I didn't get to see her.
Plus the Charlie and Bumblebee dynamic would have been great paired with Noah and Mirage
Youâre not wrong
ok noah/mirage fans come get yâall juice (rotb spoilers ahead)

Ohhhhh
Finally got to watch the new transformers movie, Rise of the beasts, and I liked it, I liked it a lot. About on par or even better than Bumblbee, It's way better than all the bayformers sequels.
Also as someone who grew up watching the beast wars cartoon it was delightful to see these new versions. I was a little disappointed that they didn't cast Gary Chalk for Primal, but Ron Perlman did a fantastic performance of the big bot gorilla
