Currently seeking people auditioning for Riker, Worf, Data, Troi, etc. No challenging me for captain's chair. I shall maintain an iron grip on editorial authoritah.

The common factor to stories I seem to gravitate too for sense-making is that they center a high-agency male having adventures. But I do break out sometimes. Lately, I've been on an Alice in Wonderland kick. Identifying with her in wonderland is interesting.

Alice is actually a bit of a high-authoritah jerk like Cartman, crossed with a high-ADHD weirdo improv artist who just rolls with whatever. Alice in Wonderland is just one giant Yes, And to absurdity, navigating murdered time with high agency, but low meaningfulness.

I also like stories where I don't identify with a particular character, but with world as a whole (so implicitly the author). The value of HHG and Discworld is seeing like Adams or Pratchett, not as any particular character within those worlds. The author as viewpoint character.

I think I'll conduct auditions by blogchain sparring. Anyone who can can go 3 rounds with me gets regular contributor spot if they want it.
