Quote:
"So this is the thing I really want to drive home for any and all people who find something special in my books (or, for that matter, in anyone else's).
It's not the book. It's you. It's your mind doing all the work. Your commitment, your willingness to be touched, your suspension of disbelief and the power of your imagination. That's why there are many, many people who will never be moved by some story you love -- or, for some impoverished souls, by any story at all.
If you find something extraordinary in one of my books, it's because it was already inside you, and the words just helped you locate it, that's all."

Matthew Stover is my personal freaking god.
Whatever:
Pokemon Quartz.
This is a Let's Play (a video or photo--in this case, screenshot--record of someone else playing through a video game) of the best worst video game mod ever created. Some random Spanish guy who spoke little English hacked together the most ridiculous Pokemon mod ever, containing creepy dialogue, terrible Spanglish, Gary-Stu self-inserts out the wazoo, and the butt-ugliest fake Pokemon ever. The person creating the LP makes the funniest commentary, and the general WTFness of it all is highly entertaining, to say the least.
