I think it’s just that green on white vs black on white is a bit harder on the eyes… I just recently started using an LCD and have frequently thought I didnt have a link in a post when it was actually there. I guess I need to tweak my stylesheet a little bit. THanks for the heads up.

Oh, also:

I agree with what you’ve said regarding time, but I’m not sure we have the same definition of what it takes to waste it.

By your logic, novelists and screenwriters are simply wasting their time, right? Surely you don’t think that’s the case.

Is it any different for me to ponder the characters and events that they’ve created?

The vampire mythos specifically is pretty well-documented, and I find it very interesting when someone makes a choice to augment or contradict the existing mythos. Generally one attempts to defend these creative choices with logic that often holds up, extending the mythos. It’s this logic and the defending of creative choices that I find interesting.

Would you say Biblical scholars are wasting their time as well?

I bolded up links, so they should be more obvious now. Lemme know if you stil have trouble seeing them.

Yeah, exactly.

Because of this type of pondering, you and I know to reject some of the less-plausible mythos additions in favor of some that seem reasonable. By thinking about these types of things, we’d be in a better position to create believable vampire fiction, and better appreciate the good vampire fiction of others.

It kind of reminds me of From Dusk ‘til Dawn

"wait, wait wait… does anyone have any silver?"

checking the ‘remember information’ box doesn’t do it?

It does for me, but I come here a lot more frequently… maybe that’s it.
