Media What’s the Internet Version of a Page-Turner?
posted by on October 25 at 8:54 AM
A page-clicker? Anyway, this story—concerning internet love lost and found, a shameless sociopathic liar, and (tangentially but vitally) acclaimed sci-fi writer Harlan Ellison—is one.
It’s amazing, really. Read it now. (Thanks to Jake for the tip.)
Ellison's a "mystery" writer? Is that what they call science (or speculative) fiction these days?
PS. Yes, I know he's won a couple of Edgar Allan Poe Awards, but that pales in comparison to his 8.5 Hugos, his three Nebulas, and so on. His peers are Asimov, Heinlein, Bradbury...
His "real" bio
There're definitely some red flags about believability in this story, but it's a pretty amazing tale. Love, deceit, Dan Fogelberg message boards.
I liked the story.
You think that's bad? Check this.

Wow. Thank you.
Also, OZ movies? Nice.
That was a great read... thanks.
Ellison to me seems to be nothing more than a little fuck with a galactic ego. This paean to his "brilliance" wrapped around a ho-hum "there's liars in them there internets" story was difficult to choke down.
Wow. Seriously, dirge? That story kind of blew me away.

I don't even know what the hell that post is about ... and I got several pages deep into it.

And then there's always this one, which involves minors, which makes it exponentially worse.
Also, that photo of Janna St. James made me really, really sad.
i am going to write a play about this.
so thank you.
and nobody steal the idea.
