The theme's the thing.

[breakfastofchampions]

Inspired in part by luckykitty, I have decided to make a short list of the major themes in my writing, or at least those I can think of at the moment. Examples are included! Ah, fun for the whole family! Enjoy.

--There is another world.
[Orange Pekoe, Tales of Pirate Jennio]

--There is no time.
["Perth", Accidental Rogues]

--The impermanence/fluidity of gender.
["Immortality", "The Velvet Box", "The Unspeakable", Orange Pekoe, Accidental Rogues, Angora Fix]

--The magnificent horror of death.
[Accidental Rogues, Orange Pekoe, Angora Fix]

--The impermanence of death.
[Accidental Rogues, Orange Pekoe, Angora Fix, "Jump"]

--The reality of mythology.
[Orange Pekoe]

-- The reality of dreams.
[Angora Fix, Orange Pekoe]

--It's hard to get by in this world.
[Accidental Rogues, I, Private Eye]

--The triumph of silliness over seriousness.
[I, Private Eye]

--Life's a funny thing, isn't it?
[Absolutely everything I've ever written.]

lol!! cute!! :D

i thought of another theme for my gloom-and-doom trend. "you may be in love... but you're gonna have to pay for it and it's gonna suck, muahahahahahah!" -- every story i've every written, up to and including Amber

[pekoe-dreams.livejournal.com]

hehehe, thanks!

ooh, that's a good theme. i like that one. i think i might have dabbled in it myself now and then. whenever i try and write about love, it somehow ends up all twisted and angsty!

that's why i like your stories so much. gloom & doom warm my cold little heart.

i really liked amber. i hope you're able to continue it someday! ah, but i know how it can go sometimes...

we rock!!! :D our themes are the best :D

lol, seriously though, i'd like to continue amber... some day... *dreams*

[pekoe-dreams.livejournal.com]

our amazing themes cause other writers to tremble in fear! *evil laughter* and those who do not tremble will soon be sorry they didn't. *more evil laughter*

er, whoops. i get a little megalomaniacal sometimes. pardon.

i hope that you are able to continue it. it's really a good story. i want to find out what happens. of course, understand if it takes you a while. i feel like i must have a hundred unfinished stories lyng around.

The Triumph of Silliness over Seriousness

Story of my life, that one.

Hmmm. The Magnificent Horror of death... interesting. Do you have certain ways you tend to depict death, you find?

Re: The Triumph of Silliness over Seriousness

story of my life too!

well, i very rarely kill a character. but sometimes they court death, yet are repulsed by it. and sometimes they rise from the dead or their death is metaphorical or ambiguous! i suppose i'd have to give you some textual examples. or else think it out some more...

that's so neat that you can categorize, more or less, various themes in your writing. where do i get these titles if i am interested? can i buy them in some comps?

[pekoe-dreams.livejournal.com]

Most of those titles haven't been published anywhere, except for the short sory "Immortality". If you're interested, you can find some of the other stories in the archive (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=pekoe_dreams). Or, if some title that particularly intrigued you isn't found there, let me know and I can post it here.

my favorite two are the reality of dreams, and the reality of mythology; because these are two themes that i personally believe in. plus, that justifies why angora fix and orange pekoe are mi favoritas. *^^*

[pekoe-dreams.livejournal.com]

it is my duty to write about such things! after all, the whole world needs to know that mythology and dreams are real. right?

(& i am so glad you like af & op! thank you. <3.)
