It's been so brilliant and beautiful around here recently, with the sun and the forsythias shining yellowly. Tulips are pushing through the earth, purple and white, while yellow daffodils looks like little frilly teacups and saucers on green stems. Meanwhile, I realized that Jareth was still wearing a monochrome ensemble, so I decided to have Jennifer bug him about it. Read more... )

Louisa Hammond, who I shall be forever grateful to because of this, mentioned that the book Braveheart and Broomsticks: Essays on Movies, Myths and Magic by Elycia Arendt, has a chapter all about Labyrinth!!

The chapter is called "The Feminine Spectatorship of Labyrinth on the Internet" and, according to my sources, deals with the sloploads of ooey-gooey "Jareth + Sarah = true lerve 4-ever" fan fiction. Apparently the author argues that these fan fiction rewrites foreclose on the feminist possibilities inherent in Labyrinth.

What a gas. Again Louisa makes my day. I simply must order a copy of this book when I have a spare moment.

Note to self: Look for other similar books mentioning L!!!

I just got a chance to read the whole chapter, thanks to some creative messing around with Amazon's "Search Inside the Book!" feature. See below for a summary. Read more... )

...can be seen here. I enjoyed shooting this ep. Since it's basically just a series of close-ups of dolls that, of course, don't change expression, all the emotion is transmitted through the poses and the angles...and some minimal addition of closed eyelids [my one concession]. My favorite is the second picture of them lying together. They look so happy...but only for a moment. Stupid drama. :p

If any of you actually read this stuff, watch for cool changes on the (un)real life front. In an effort to extend the readership and general popularity, I'm changing the name, revamping [haw haw] the site, designing T-shirts ["This old thing? Oh, it's for my Web comic..."] and trying to figure out how to promote it. I'm so excited about the new name. It sounds juicy and vampiric and kinky and looks good on T-shirts. It's much more attention-getting than (un)real life, which is boring. I just have to figure out how to add another domain name onto my current package and re-route it to my actual site's location.

In conclusion, the comic will go on hiatus while I work on overhauling it. We'll pick back up in a few weeks. I'll keep you updated, assuming I'm not just talking into a black hole...
