‘Oh?’ asked the dog, sounding rather withering. ‘Listen, Fitz. Learn to think of all these things as stories. And stories can’t contradict each other because, in the end, they’re all made up. Nothing can take precedence then. All right?’ ‘I’m not sure I know what you’re on about.’ ‘Well, you reckon the world you live [...]

One of the things I was proudest about since starting this blog – something that nobody except me would have considered remarkable – was a sentence from Gavin B in the comments section to my ridiculously popular NHS post. Speaking to a troll, Gavin said, in part, “Generally on Andrew’s blog we play the ball, [...]

This one’s going to be quite a short one, and more of a rant than a coherent statement. Put simply, I am sick of comics reviewers referring to Grant Morrison’s work (and various others like him) as being post-modernist in some way.

Some of you might have noticed that I occasionally talk about a comic writer called Grant Morrison – I may have mentioned him once or twice on here. The reason I talk about Morrison so much is that, more than any other writer I know of, he manages to deal with a whole ton of [...]

Gratifyingly , the response to my Hyperpost series has not been people saying “Shut up, you incredibly tedious little man”, but instead some people who I admire greatly as writers have been using it as a springboard for their own ideas – and have done so so well I’ve extended the series by two posts [...]

I was only going to linkblog today, but I’m going to have to push on with these… I’ve said for a while that were this series of posts ever to be complete, it would actually take the form of two full books – one non-fiction series of essays, and one gigantic fanfic epic crossover novel. [...]

“The only thing I can think of to do in that situation is what I usually do, which is lie and pretend I totally meant that to happen all along. Like, instead of a real gun, it’s a magic crime-solving gun, and how I always knew Despero’s secret plan was to take over the universe. [...]

What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know. – Saint Augustine This post comes with a health warning – I am talking here about quantum physics. There is nothing more likely to produce wrongheaded drivel [...]

I’ve not been particularly well the last couple of days (terrible acid indigestion in the evenings, my usual writing time) and so I’ve not yet finished the latest Hyperpost, but I hope to have two up tomorrow – one on 52 and fanfic, and one on The End Of Time. In the meantime, some links… [...]

Very tired and stressed today, so the next proper hyperpost won’t be til tomorrow night. Instead, you get this, dealing with various points raised by Pillock and Zom (and anyone else who comments – I notice Sean Witzke just commented) in the comments to the recent posts.
