you will come to Readercon and take part in a Kirk Poland
Oh, do attendees write the material or do they bring in examples of bad prose that they've read? It sounds kind of challenging, actually--at least, if the idea is not just to make bad prose but to make interestingly bad prose. The "Thinking metal things" is kind of interesting, in its way. I would want to make a Hindenburg, not merely a car accident (though I guess this falls under the heading of "be careful what you wish for").
even after years of therapy and yellow soap—leave your brain.
"My brain is yellow soap! Yellow soap that thinks! Thinking yellow soap! For a brain! My brain! Why can't I go home!? My happy home. A home that is happy . . ."
By the way, if you find yourself up at 3:30am, I highly recommend Modern Times on TCM.
