*yawn* hi. Batman!
This, I wrote on the Metra on the way back from Chicago. Some dude kept giving me funny looks, so I made it look like I was writing about him (you know, where you look at the person, kinda tut, write, still looking at them...) -- it was fun.
It is only a little, general-audiences drabble, the first in what will hopefully be a decently-sized lineup of semi(or fully)psychotic Batfic, though that cannot happen until I havebinged given myself a refresher course on my Batman quasifangirlness.
Anyway, it's early, and I'm sure that all didn't make the least bit of sense. So.
That which a man fears, he comes to know intimately. He learns the way it moves, that he can dodge its approach. He studies its sound: its cry, its accidentals – even in the dark, he knows it. He knows what lures it; he knows what will send it away. He has watched it, fascinated by the pure cold power it has over him, immobilized by the vivid horrors his mind’s eye cannot stop creating. Given time, a man will know the object of his fear better than he knows his love, his family, his home, himself.
And so the Bat-Man.

(Anonymous) 2005-07-08 11:00 am (UTC)(link)Your piece explores a very animal feeling with a very human twist: fear with conscious pondering. I felt a cold, eerie stillness about when I read this.
Very nice, dear. When you get this sort of thing published, we'll talk about my beach house. <3.

(Anonymous) 2005-07-08 11:07 am (UTC)(link)I am in bad need of something to write. I really want to write some fiction, but I have no idea what to write it about. If you have any plot ideas, tell me. Right now all I can think of are interstellar hitchhikers and Stent.
...maybe I'll start doing H2G2 fanficcing.
