Liquid Bridges

In 1893, Baron Armstrong demonstrated a peculiar phenomenon – a liquid bridge of water suspended between two beakers with a strong electric charge between them. (Image and research credit: X. Pan et al.) Read the full article

drifting away

A chasm has opened up All paths have failed What cure is there now for broken hearts? The happiness that never was mine May it be yours, it wherever you go My desire is, for you to live, And for your hopes and dreams to come true

May your world never reflect the barrenness of mine

each and every memory of yours is etched into my heart The way you would smile at me The way you would whisper to me that “You belong only to me” God only knows how it came to this pass How we came to be driven apart

I abandoned everything for you I burnt all my boats to come here to you But you never became mine You simply walked away I don’t know where you disappeared, taking my heart with you

Where would I go? I’m still right here I’m present in every beat of your heart You’re in my dreams when I sleep In my thoughts when I’m awake At each and every moment, you’re with me My heart beats for no one but you Now it will never belong to anyone else I am saying goodbye

I am saying goodbye

I am saying goodbye

I am saying goodbye

Where Wind Meets Water

That the wind causes ocean waves is obvious to anyone who has spent time near the water, but the details of that process remain fuzzy. Many of the explanations – like the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability – only explain part of the process, usually the beginning when the waves are very small.  (Image credit: R. Bilcliff; see also N.

[vid id- rain in a puddle. - end id]

The shine on the leaves glowed brightly. The left over rain and dew dropped fell from the hands of my house, the ground caught the drops with gratitude. Tvs turned on and the indistinguishable murmurs vibrated the walls. The birds echoed in the distance, welcoming the sun that arose once more. And I sat here and watched it all, hopelessly awaiting a million more .

Perhaps you could do one episode on what it is exactly that makes fanfiction distinct from any other kind of fiction? And I mean beyond the ol' "fanfiction is not real literature" argument. It isn't even worth dignifying.

But to really question why people place it in a category of it's own at all. Just how much literary elitism affects our perception of art & distorts our understanding of the world, & of the very concept of originality. Does such a thing as absolute originality even exist?

Nothing comes from nothing. Every story began somewhere outside of its creator's control, & they found it, remembered it, transformed it, either consciously or subconsciously. If all characters ever created are amalgamations of the people we have known (including ourselves) & characters already in existence, & the stories we conjure just byproducts of the media we consume & a point of inspiration lying somewhere between experience & fantasy (& what is fantasy if not just another story), then isnt all fiction fanfiction? Would that make the first story ever written RPF?

Anyhow, dont mind me, just talking nonsense. Fascinating stuff, transformative artistry. Love the podcast, though I have yet to listen to the episodes of writers I am unfamiliar with. Still, love the very idea of it, yaknow. Good shit.

Oooo I LOVE this comment! I could easily do a 15 minute bonus episode sometime all about this. I have so many thoughts on the very nature of fanfiction, how it stems from older folk storytelling traditions, and how modern commercialism and concepts like ownership and copyright law shape the way fanfiction is placed into a category on its own. I would agree that literary elitism fits into this with precise messaging on how they think we ought to perceive certain art forms. In many ways fanfiction is a defiant response and a continuation of the storytelling traditions humans have always participated in. Nonnie, you should come on and discuss it along with me! PM or e-mail me if you'd like to do that. I think this would make a great bonus drop. Also, thank you for the support! I'm so glad you like the idea of what the show is all about. 'Good shit' is what I aspire to. Cheers!
