thanks for that glossary, it'll be handy.

I was actually going to do either a parody noir story, or a sort of typically dark and emotionally crippled one but with a woman at one point.Then I realised I can't even finish the one book I've started so abandoned that idea fairly swiftly before I even bothered researching it.
I do do a passable imitation at times though, the weird Blue Jame esque monologue, which I had to do in third person due to the restraints of the story, for the b3ta bunk3r writing thing was at least fairly authentic.

Sort of writing add a chapter project they decided to do.b3tabunker.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=2251263%3ATopic%3A1471
To be honest it's decidedly less b3talically bizarre than I expected, and more seriously trying to attempt plot and intruige (though in my opinion there's nothing worse than trying to write a serious story, there's more subtle methods, reason and motivation than I could even go into - hence why haven't tried ever since the first draft of my book *shudder*).
My post is on the second page, and to be honest I don't think the preceding chapter even establishes it or makes it make any more sense, other than perhaps the last two lines.
