Oh ... this isn't the Betty Ford Clinic?
I got into the Drunkard's Walk by serendipity (see definition below). About a year ago, I was idly looking for the lyrics to a SCA song I'd seen in a songbook 16-17 years ago, and my Search picked up Doug using the title, "Freaking the Mundanes," as a description of the way he'd just messed with somebody's head. The citation I clicked on actually took me to the DWII Concordance. I scrolled up and down, trying to figure out what the Gehenna *this* was, and the bit where he used Bugs Bunny pins as a pledge of retribution caught my eye. That's when I started hunting for the way to get to the main story.
Until I started reading DW, I wasn't especially into manga or anime (I had the Dark Horse translation of Gunsmith Cats, an ADV Gunsmith Cats anime, and a few other odds and ends). DW caused me to buy BGC on DVD and start picking up the Dark Horse OMG. If you turn me into a Sailor Moon junkie, Mr. Schroeck, we will have to have *words*!
Biographically, I'm 47, spent 23 years as a US Army REMF, and was heavy into RPGs, mostly D&D, before I entered the service. I don't *write* so much as I dream up *backgrounds* for stories -- lists, for instance, of the "cast of characters."
I probably would've just kept on reading other people's postings (and snickering) without inflicting my own comments on anyone, but a 2- or 3-year-old post on the DW3 forum kept preying on my mind. There's a quote that I think just *has* to go there.
