Cory why?


message 2: by Mel (new)

Mel I just kind of lost interest in his work. He just recycles the same plot devices and characters over and over and over. Even when it comes to Doctor Who, there's the same old Gaiman device. It just seems lazy to me. He has some good ideas, but he doesn't go through with them that well.


message 3: by Cory (new)

Cory Ah. Kind of like Stephen King, then.

I've only read on NG book and I don't watch Doctor Who anymore. Just not enough time in the day.


message 4: by Mel (new)

Mel I've read a few and one of his Sandman books. They all start out so well but then just fall really flat. In his novels he pretty much uses the same character archetypes over and over. He even used the same dialogue a few times.

What are you doing at the moment anyway?


message 5: by Cory (new)

Cory Yeah, sounds disappointing. I really only want to read American Gods, Stardust, and Anansi Boys.

At this very moment? Japanese homework. And watching the biggest loser, heh.

I was working on a fantasy novel last night. Maybe I'll actually finish it.

What about yourself?


message 6: by Mel (new)

Mel Haha I meant like in general, with your life.

I can't wait 'till you publish your novels. I'm basically going to start a Cory fanclub as soon as you do.

Uhm, to be honest my life is kind of at a halt right now. I'm dealing with a lot of issues at the moment and am just trying to save money, make friends, and not lose my mind.


message 7: by Cory (new)

Cory A cory fanclub would be awesome.

And I understand. I wish I could save money. I lost my wallet last week so I'm without money until I get my debit cards resent to me. My schedule is so crazy right now I barely have time for friends. Don't even get me started on other things :(

Are you going to university or no?

Mel I am at unviersity, but it's nothing special. I'm not really getting anything out of it. At the moment the future is pretty much a black wall to me.
