I enjoyed the whole podcast, but CHEMO in particular. Fantastic story, realllllllllllllllly loved the writing. I have to agree with Lauren of Stopgo Photography – if this is a piece of a novel I DEFINITELY want to read the rest!

Kudos to all three authors!

Hey guys, I really enjoyed SCRIPTOPIA. The girl who did the waitress’s voice was awesome.

Awesome episode guys, but CHEMO really stood out the most for me. The concept of a ‘hive mind’ is so creepy, but seeing where he took it… and the idea of shifting into alternative paradigms as a technique in combat? Seriously, dope. Also, did I hear it mentioned that this was a piece of a novel? I’m sure I’m not alone when I say:

-J.M. Perkins… I want to read more of your CHEMO universe!!-

You know, that haiku thing is really interesting. And a bit disturbing, Liz.

I found this awesome site that finds haiku’s within text. http://mrfeinberg.com/haikufinder/
I plugged in the text of Chemo and came up with these 2 haikus…

Either we figure
out just what is going on,
or we get out quick.

I shut my eyes tight,
and began to loop a Beach
Boys song in my head.

What great stories! I enjoyed all three, but, like the consensus, I enjoyed CHEMO most of all.

Oh, and THANKS SO MUCH, Abbie, for making “Gumbie Cat” start playing in my head. I hear if you sing “Kung Fu Fighting” in your head it makes all other earworms go away.

I wasn’t expecting this episode to have three stories in it, so that was interesting. I preferred CHEMO because personally I’m not a huge fan of satire. Of course, I also had a lot more fun playing my role in CHEMO than in Scriptopia, but that’s just me.

I too noticed the shift in CHEMO from effects to music, but then, a good piece of music can really make a story, film, or TV show that much better — from the Stardust soundtrack enticing me to buy it after hearing the scene where Tristan and Yvaine are running along the ridge to John Williams’s various Harry Potter themes to even the hard-rock choices in Supernatural, I’ve always loved listening out for the various music cues and songs used in the fiction I enjoy.

That was so much fun to listen to! Chemo was cool, not just for the story, but for the concept and the larger world. It made me curious.

It is hilarious that this posted around the same time as my latest episode, which includes my brother reading The Old Gumbie Cat….which is now stuck in my head, running round and round and round…

Liz,

Great poem. Mu dog and I had a great laugh. Although I was a little worried when he kept looking at my nose. :)

But perhaps, just perhaps..

your skin is to thin…

Consider for a moment…

the critics within.

But I digress…

Even if the “experts” were a bit predjucied agsnist poets…perhaps as time goes by, they will expand their understanding, become a bit smarter, and appreciate the poet just a wee bit more.

My favorite piece was “Chemo: The Town of Golden Woods.

To quote someone far more insightful than myself… “If I have to explain it…you wouldn’t understand it. “
