In the Oh God, NO department my brO has announced that he hears the dialogue of my character, Jesse, in the voice of Aaron Paul, as Jesse Pinkman, whereas Jesse Silver has a BC Interior accent, which is supposed to make his social justice musings a commentary on possible reader expectations of ‘rural’ characters.
Jeff’s take on it is actually hilarious, but I’m going to fighting like a cornered wolverine not to think about this while I’m writing further dialogue.
I do recall I make a Breaking Bad reference in (I believe) Upsun. Yup, it was in Upsun because it was my first foray into writing about guns. It just always pissed me off that everybody has guns in fiction but they just magically fall from the sky. George has a choice about getting some guns. He can buy them illegally and have that hanging over him when he tries to become a citizen. He can buy them legally through proxies but that means every proxy has to get a gun licence and he doesn’t want to give up the data points yet. He can steal them, see problem one. Or he can swipe a largely illegal inheritance from a man he believes to have harmed two of his friends, which is twice as much reason as a Sixer needs to do anything. It means he dodges having to use his special powers to obtain them. He knows that if the acquisition is discovered, it’ll go better if he didn’t do anything an opportunistic human wouldn’t do. The Silvers will have to eat looking like his stooges, but it’s what they joint and severally signed up for. Anyway, author comment finished I sound like a moron.
