- @Amelia_Torode It's in the stack of DVDs that Girl One needs edumacating on. in reply to Amelia_Torode #
- Oh dear… Meeting in under an hour, & 100s of Tweets to read through. Have to delete. If anything good happened, you'll tell me, right? #
- @MissNixs Isn't it always? in reply to MissNixs #
- @DimitriMOMB (Who did you talk to?) in reply to DimitriMOMB #
- @DimitriMOMB For the most part, they certainly are! in reply to DimitriMOMB #
- @RebeccaFront @ronskanky Oh hell! Trying to remember my favourite Greene short, can't. It involves a man, on a train, with a baby, in a jar. in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @ScruffyPanther Oh, now, THAT'S a nice picture. in reply to ScruffyPanther #
- @ScruffyPanther Yup. It's serene… in reply to ScruffyPanther #
- Heh… remember this? http://is.gd/1r5nf – She's a big girl now! #
- @RebeccaFront Oh dear… that's not the one, but it is great. Will keep digging. Also not a Greene Freak, but I have a fondness… in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @RebeccaFront When I think of realistic love stories, Greene's "End Of The Affair" & @ronskanky's "Whatever Love Means" are definitive. in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @james__buckley Ha! What about now?!?!? in reply to james__buckley #
- Human Genre Project: http://is.gd/1r5T8 – That's just awesome, @purseonality! #
- @RebeccaFront I'm too shy to do it directly, but he should see that last tweet, I think! in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @ememess #
- @ememess May already have beamed this message to you, but reading Bad Things at mo, & it is ACTUAL page turner. Like your thrillers… in reply to ememess #
- @ememess …But Bad Things is the first where the first few pages didn't make me ache with the loss of the more far-flung stuff of old. in reply to ememess #
- Just realised that in recent @geeksyndicate post – http://is.gd/1r6LA – I totally plagiarise myself on this story – http://is.gd/1r6Pp #
- Huh. Just remembered that nobody managed to get the bad 80s Rock Pop origins of this EW story of mine: http://is.gd/1r7b3. Anyone? Anyone? #
- Hah. Aheh. http://is.gd/1r7qV – "Pounding my adolescent guilt". #euphemismsforwanking #
- @RebeccaFront Heh… they seem largely immune to the pressure – it's the novelty that's bewildering them! in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @steevbishop It is awesome… spun off from your tweet to pictures of Emma Watson's knickers, actually. in reply to steevbishop #
- @RebeccaFront That story title is really going to bug me, now, & I won't be near my bookshelf til MUCH later. Bugger. Breathe. And BLAST! in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @ronskanky Your very welcome, sir. Got The Secret Purposes ready to read, but hasn't yet been an appropriate gap for it… in reply to ronskanky #
- @ronskanky Impressed you choose to write totally different subject matter each time out. Was WLM as heavily Greene influenced as I think? in reply to ronskanky #
- @steevbishop Oh, gosh, I did NOT know that… in reply to steevbishop #
- @ememess Incidentally, it's not that I don't LIKE your other thrillers; I've just always taken a few pages to get into them before. MY bad! #
- @steevbishop Aha! I was sharing the post because of the memory it had triggered – Obviously plainly forgot the age glitch! in reply to steevbishop #
- @ememess Phew! It really, REALLY is working for me… in reply to ememess #
- @ememess …though I'd kind of decided pretty early on that things are going to end badly for everyone involved, & so am full of dread. in reply to ememess #
- @steevbishop I didn't find her sexually attractive at all. Right up until seeing a bit of her breast & her pants. I am TERRIBLY suggestible. in reply to steevbishop #
- @ememess Eep! in reply to ememess #
- About to go & watch Public Enemies. Conversation with @ememess has worried me, so holding out for happy ending. Dillinger lived, right? #
- In cinema! Naughty! #

Another Way To Breathe: On The Disir
HEAVY SPOILERS FOR JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY 638
I was asked on my Formspring “Was that always the real origin of your Disir, or something that evolved for EXILED?”. To which I responded….
When I created the Disir back in SIEGE: LOKI and NEW MUTANTS 11, I knew the origin I gave wasn’t the…
Kieron Gillen is killing it on Journey Into Mystery. It’s process like this that’s the reason why. Inspiring.

“She went to the bathroom, filled the tub, and got undressed. The mirror misted over with condensation, and the smell of pine needles filled the air. She turned off the water, and the apartment suddenly seemed very quiet. Then she heard footsteps, and Simon’s voice through the half-open door. He said, I’ll just go downstairs for the bottle of wine. I thought you’d gone already, said Lara, and she poked her head through the crack, and he kissed her on the lips and tried to barge the door open, but she held it shut. They kissed again. See you soon, said Lara. It was odd, she still felt a little ashamed in front of him.”
This scene is one of my earliest comic memories. It was the first point at which I saw a comic character making a mistake, which meant it was probably the first time I really processed them properly as characters and human.
Spider-man has webbed up a doorway to stop a criminal escaping, but then realises that the criminal is escaping out of the window instead, and in his hurry to catch them he forgets his own webbing.
It seems gloriously ridiculous out of context, but if memory serves it was part of a pretty intense and dramatic story featuring Alex Summers (Havok).
(This was me, by the way.)
