If there is anything that keeps me from doing work more than the Idea of other worlds, especially other worlds that I could visit and interact in I have yet to learn of it. Books, Games, Movies, practically my whole life revolves around other worlds and the rules that govern them. If I play a game or watch a movie nothing takes me out of a world more than rules of the world being broken.
This is a very hard thing for writers to accomplish and I realize this. Writers are constantly plagued by continuity errors, or even worse having their vision misunderstood, and people calling or rather writing them out, on.
However even if there are errors concepts will keep me in if the world has problems. Netflix, that wonderful service that is giving me streaming movies, has provided me with Sliders, a series that is all about visiting other earths, or rather the same earth in different dimensions. I realize that this makes me an anomaly as most men read (if they read at all) Non-fiction, whereas women read fiction. (Citatation Needed)
(Which might explain why I like to talk to women more than I like talking to men; that or boobs)
Back to sliders, I continue watching the series dispite characters being more or less stupid because world creation is important to me. By the way Y The Last Man The comic didn't really hold me as far as story went but the world created held my attention as I'd really like to see how things would change in a world where men are a commodity, of course for me I'd like to know it from the women's point of view seeing as I've pretty much got the guys side covered.
Anyway One last lit drop Slaughterhouse Five was a reread for me this week. Second time through I'll have to say was just as good as the first. Pick it up if you have the chance.
Laters,
