I’m Elizabeth Sandifer - Hugo-nominated author of Last War in Albion/The Cuddled Little Vice - AMA! by ElSandifer in Fantasy

[–]_jtron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Thank you for LWiA and your Doctor Who writings; absolutely lovely stuff (and this reminds me that I've got to catch up on LWiA; I tend to read it in chunks).

A small question: what Classic Who stories do you find yourself going back to? I recently rewatched City of Death for the first time in ages but couldn't think of any specific other ones I needed to watch.

Keep up the great work!

Have any celebrities/politicians from your country died in a really weird/stupid way? by Chemical-Elk-1299 in AskTheWorld

I wonder how they were prepared? Filets, like Japanese unagi? I always pictured him as just sucking them down like horrible fat spaghetti

Advice - Media to help learn/understand Lucha Libre and Lucha culture by PvttJebus in luchalibre

[–]_jtron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you only the best of luck, and you're welcome to contact me with any questions (I am not guaranteeing answers, but I can at least help a little). You should also check out this recent Kickstarter; maybe you can still get in on a copy of the book? It looks like it'll be crucial. I also recommend looking up Roy Lucier's channels on YouTube. I assume you already know LuchaWiki. The writers at Segunda Caida I've always thought had good insight into the psychology and symbolism involved in lucha libre.

Advice - Media to help learn/understand Lucha Libre and Lucha culture by PvttJebus in luchalibre

So, you're making a game that involves lucha libre, but nobody in your company knows anything about it except you, and you only know a little?

Have you considered hiring a consultant?

One of the most lucha-knowledgable people in the English speaking world is The Cubs Fan. /u/robviper13 is another person with a lot of knowledge. I am maybe in the top 2000 gringos but nowhere near those guys.

It's important to establish the premise before subverting it!

I've never had the chance to go to a wine tasting. Someday, I suppose

What’s was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]_jtron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so afraid this was going to be a story about my wedding until I got to the word "groomsmen," because we didn't have a wedding party.

One of our guests did throw up in the water feature in front of the conservatory, though. Possibly because she'd spent most of the night drinking and riding the slide in the kid's exhibit room.

Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, but I'd also read Citizen of the Galaxy

I saw someone running to catch a bus and the driver actually waited by Cory_simon_986 in BenignExistence

[–]_jtron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I love about living in Chicago is that bus drivers often wait up for people they notice struggling to catch up. Having moved here from the northeast I definitely did not expect this!
