Well now I just had an interesting interaction with our twitter friend.
I asked
Quote:
@shapeLITE480 Do you view yourself as a character in the one Story? Or are you more the editor who points out the mistakes?
He responded:
Quote:
@TenshiAkui Thats a big question... You're going to have to make me quite the offer if you want an answer to that.
Me:

@shapeLITE480 And what kind of offer would you like?
Him:

@TenshiAkui Let me ask you a question first: Have you enjoyed the videos I've made so far?
Me:
Quote:
@shapeLITE480 So far they have been quite interesting. They've left me curious, something I enjoy. So I have ot say yes.
Him:
Quote:
@TenshiAkui Make one of your own. Record yourself telling a short story of something funny that happened to you. Then give us all the link.
So now I have to think of something funny that happened to me LOL And make a video about it! [/b]

Kinda beating my head trying to come up with something LOL.
I have one but it's one of those it's only funny to people who really know me, or funny in the situation. So I may have to explain it a bit before getting into the story... then figure out what to "film". For funny I contemplated making my cat act it out but he's a dork and wouldn't do it LOL

Just film a 20-sec shaky buzzy video of a camera slowly moving closer to a smoking "cheese toastie" (I love that term!) and share it as (1/7).

Tweets to and from Worchester sauce on cheese please. Okay here's all tweets back and forth recently:
Quote:
Me: So the colours were important then, have you read Gates of Fire?I'm sure you will receive a tweet by the solver soon.
Him: By Steven Pressfield if I remember correctly.
Me: Correct! They say the worst sin is betrayal...
Me: Tell me, would you prefer to be known as The Doctor?
Him: The Doctor? I don't have a Time and Relative Dimension in Space.
Me: Shame it fitted nicely into your November timeline & your betrayal.
Him: Ephialtes died in ignominy almost 2500 years ago. A man who did the right thing, the written thing. He was just on the wrong side of history
Me: Would you have preferred Xerxes to win then & the upshot would be Zoroastrianism is the staple religion, the fires still burn.
Him: Its not about who wins and who looses. Its about the Story that gets told.
Me: If there is only one writer then what princip did or what someone 2500 years ago did is immaterial. Its been written.
Him: What has been Written forms what it is to be. It is the most important.
Him: My betrayal? Mr. Muse, you speak in riddles.
Me: ShapeLITE is anagram of Ephialtes, I conclude you identify with the traitor. Perhaps you intend betrayal.

So I got my answer... and it's not as enigmatic as one would expect! LOL

@shapeLITE480 Thank you. Now for the question. The same as before. Do you view yourself as a character in the story? Or are you the editor?

@TenshiAkui If you hadn't worked so hard on that video, I'd be tempted to say something simple and mysterious, like "Yes."

@TenshiAkui I consider myself a facilitator for the Story and a Character within. I help make sure the Story happens, as it is Written.

You are generous with your answer, I'm sure you serve the one Writer well.

Ms. Bernath, you may have your chance to do the same, just in your own different role. I think many people will.
Looks like we will have some fun, yay!

Connections? Sorry for the double, but I can't sleep and started thinking.... about those sharp references...
The HPL story that has featured most so far is Dreams in the Witch House, in which an evil knife features heavily at the end. Also DanteIL's version was cut into strips
The videos - let's say mountain rather than volcano - mountains are associated with the blade symbol for man ( think blade and chalice )
Can't match it with Ephialtes, though it looks like the victory at Thermoplae is owed to a large number of arrows (as well as the traitor of course)
Princip would be the odd one out on my little theory so far, but then SL keeps telling us that in a way so......
Don't mind me, just a tired ramble and most likely !!
