Movies in Fifteen Minutes
okay. there is so much back story to this that i'm not even sure where to start, or how to explain it without writing you a novel, but here goes:
august kicked my ass. my computer died (i am even now working on a computer shared with four other people), and i then went through a series of tribulations known as the compocalypse, in which three different new computers refused to boot, i had to have the entire upstairs of the house rewired as a result, i still can't afford to get my data retrieved from the old computer, so on and so forth. also, i washed my cell phone, the dishwasher started snarling at us,nike air max tn, our dryer died twice, we ended up with $1500 worth of plumbing problems (don't even get me started on what happened to my mother's car, which was $2800),nike tn pas cher, we're still paying off the air conditioner from last year--look, i can keep going if you want. my point is, i sat down and tried to figure out what i could to to earn money quickly to take care of some of this. and somehow, i came up with the idea to annotate some of the online movies in fifteen minutes stuff--the print equivalent of a dvd commentary, almost--and see if y'all would be interested. let's try the three harry potter ones online, those are obviously related and would yield some interesting stuff to talk about, how about that? so six weeks of footnoting later, here we are:
i want to be really, really clear about this: what you would actually be paying for is some 460 footnotes of commentary material, which you can see in it's a simple pdf file, which was the most widely-accepted format i could find. you don't even have to care about harry potter; the notes talk about things like the origins of gqmfs,nike tn, "dead from coke," "pastede on yay," pixel-stained technopeasants, and the color puce. you also, however, get discussion of the books, the movies, the actors, various in-jokes, americanisms, britishisms, internetisms, and so much more. cough.
(i let folks at my personal journal test it out before i brought it to y'all at large,tn pas cher, and so far my favorite endorsements are "the footnotes are even more fun than the parodies" and "this shit is charming.")
(next month i'd like to put together "(2) vampires"--van helsing, dracula, twilight--but will probably cool it for a while after that and work on my novel and short stories. you know, the respectable stuff. so i don't intend to run this into the ground, if you're concerned about that.)
if you have any questions, and i'm sure you do, ask below and i'll work up as comprehensive a set of answers as i can manage for a post tomorrow. i'm in the final phase of working out how to sell the kindle version and how to sell to people who can't use lulu and/or paypal, so hold on for that.
