thirds prose style disintegrates consciousness. with Rich you can't look at it becasue of how impatient it makes you feel. im interested in distinctive effects

I need some character names who wants to help me generate them. Maybe I name them all after Dissensus pseudonyms. IdleRich is the coke dealer. 146IQ is the crackpot millionaire.

well, it;'s all about if you can get excited about the material i suppose. you need the thing to write itself.
Psychic tension is generative in my experience. Things that make you feel powerless drive the writing process, as a way to wrestle control over them. See El Morado

what is i think so difficult about what stan does and why i think it would be quite difficult to mimic adequately is that hes really nailed down his vocaubulary and it creates an eveness of tone. theres very little slippage into something else. thats why i started a thread called a stan glossary

all of it has that technocrat sheen. one thing i always look for and admire is that consistency of tone, that ability to stay in character
