Let’s Gather ‘Round the Campfire (#4)

7/10 ETA: Help! I've fallen behind on replying and can't get up!

Sorry campers, RL intruded, and I was out most of the day. As a rule, I'm incoherent after 5pm, so I'm not going to attempt responding this evening. Your great comments deserve more than gibberish. Bear with me, I'll be back tomorrow. You guys are the best! *hugs* The mod is in.

Hi Campers!

Have you brought your flashlights? We've had wonderful discussions over the last few weeks, but do you have the fortitude to discuss today's topic, ghost stories? You know what I'm talking about... dun dunn dunnn... the deathfic. Is it a guilty pleasure or does it squick you out? Do you have to be in the mood (bookmark them for later)? Why?

Food for thought:
Is a good cry enough for you, or after you finish the story, do you mentally write a different ending, like House coming to Wilson's rescue with a last minute diagnosis and cure.

What about the causes? Illness or Accident? Anyone want to discuss the irony of the oncologist getting cancer?

Going a bit afield: Does your interest or disinterest about characters dying extend to watching movies, (randomly chosen titles: Dead Poets Society, In the Gloaming) and reading novels, or is that a different experience for you?

For writers: can you write and read them? Do you prefer one or the other?

Alright, I've used up my quota of questions marks so let's hear from you. And as always, please talk amongst yourselves, and don’t be shy about asking questions and chatting with your neighbors.

How funny. I just woke up after sleeping eleven hours. I'm not sure if my responses are any more coherent, or I just think they are.

Please take your time about posting the question to your journal. Do it whenever you feel like it.

Oddly, I just managed to post. My mind seems to be slowly coming back, but my back is killing me. Now I'm all worried that I'm too old for days at the park... that can't be right though! *worries*

I see your post. Yay!

You can never be too old for rides. Your amusement ride muscles are just a little rusty from disuse after winter. The remedy is to keep going back.

This was actually my second trip to a park in the last month. Mid June I made my first trip to Cedar Point. I have this thing about getting to all the parks in North America. I just hurt more than usual today. Oh well! Off to the beer store for my cure! :D
