two recs of weird fiction

Hmm. There's a term for this type of fiction. I have no idea what it is, but it is fun. And you know, if you are like me and overthink everything, pretty terrifying.

Anyway, non-fanfic, and someone said they were in the House of Leaves family of stories, so.

Dionaea House, a story told in email and chat logs. After done, go livejournal and here, and finally here.

ETA: And several other pages too found by clicking about. Huh.

I, for one, am spooked. And also, never a closet again.

For added claustrophobia, Ted's Caving Page, which actually freaks me out a lot.

I love Dionaea House. I try to reread it for Halloween. The surprise is lessened, but it still is a great bit of storytelling.

There's this gentleman who was studying what he calls "hyperfiction." (http://www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/ftvms737_2006/Kevin%20Veale/Conceptual%20Background.htm) I'm not sure if he's still doing it, or if the style has died out.

Oh, yes! I ran across those two within the span of about a week, a couple years ago. I love them both. But especially the caving one. (Weirdly, it cured me of my fear of closets and other small dark spaces.)

Did you get the 2005 updates with loreen's lj?

Okay, I'm up to Loreen's LJ. What's next?

Tha'ts all. *mystery continues* The house is slowly eating them all.

Aaah, thank you for posting this! I've been wanting to re-read Dionaea House and could not remember the name of it. And I remember Ted's Caving Page gave me some really cool nightmares. ;P

Yeah, I think I'mnot sleeping well tonight.

Ted's Caving Page is one of my favorite things on the entire internet, no lie. It's the pictures that did me in...I read the whole thing late at night and it terrified me.

Oh wow, that was a fun fun fun read! I can't wait for it to be turned into a movie :D Also, this is saya415 by the way... I changed my lj name and I didn't carry over my f-list... Do you think you can add me back?

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-10-06 07:57 pm (UTC)
You show as added back. *confused*

Hmm. *suspicious* Hold up. Saya. DID YOU SUDDENLY CHANGE NAMES AND CONFUSE ME A LITTLE WHILE BACK??????

I did an entry on this! I'd misplaced someone! I couldn't figure out where they were.

From: [identity profile] nilla.livejournal.com Date: 2008-10-06 08:16 pm (UTC)

It was very stressful! I couldn't figure out how I lost someone! I WAS VERY UPSET.

I was fortunate enough to pick up on Dionaea House before it finished. We really weren't entirely sure it was fake - I mean, obviously it's not entirely real either, but if he'd had someone else write up the blog entries it would have totally passed muster. For some reason the caving one just kinda made me laugh, though. I'm more agoraphobic than claustrophobic, that might have to do with it.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-10-07 12:22 am (UTC)
*hee* Dionaea is neat. I can see how it would feel real.

How to Compare Tax Software

From: (Anonymous) Date: 2012-02-03 01:30 pm (UTC)
Levy preparation software might make filing your taxation's faster and much easier, but it is important to find the right package. Not all tax software provides support for all your tax forms and schedules you make use of. Understanding your levy needs and looking for the packages of which support those needs can help you find the finest tax preparation software for your requirements.

1. Review copies of one's recent tax dividends and make an index of the schedules as well as attachments. Check the specifications for each and every tax software package to discover if the application includes support for all those schedules. For instance, a basic tax computer software might not incorporate support for Program C and C-EZ, which are employed by self-employed individuals in order to report their profits.

2. Compare the on the web and offline support alternatives for each tax application. Some software deals provide online assistance only, while others furthermore offer telephone assist.

3. Check the levy filing options this tax software sustains. Look for a application that permits you to file your taxation's electronically at zero additional cost.

4. Look for audit support and also help with your present tax preparation. Some tax planning software provides professional support any time an audit as well as question about your current return.

5. Compare the assist for state levy preparation on each and every tax preparation computer software. Some tax planning software includes free of charge preparation and health history for state taxes at the same time, while others impose extra to file a state tax return.
