Talk:Chris and writing

This is cool. Should we try and incorporate the information from Chris and English here?--Why, it's Beat! Hi Beat! 19:14, 2 December 2009 (CET)

Possibly, at least some of this. Chris and English would ideally only cover Chris's frequent weird word usages and grammatical stumbling; I thought this article would cover things at higher level than that. The English article is also currently a bit weird case: I kept writing about Chris's semantics, but some people thought that stuff might better be discussed in Autism (or perhaps, in my opinion, yet another split article). --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 19:21, 2 December 2009 (CET)

this could use some work. i'll pitch in; but someone with actual skills (ergo, not me) should get on this. could be really interesting. edit:Chris and short fiction down edit two: Chris and blogging downJump 00:00, 3 December 2009 (CET)

I did most of the lyrics and poetry section. --Spandam-sama 01:05, 3 December 2009 (CET)

If we're going to make fun of Chris for being a shitty writer, this page should probably be written with at least, you know, proper grammar; less purple prose would be nice too. But I can't be arsed to do it right now so I'm gonna bitch about it here. At least that way it'll show up in my watchlist and I won't forget about it. --sonichuis44 19:49, 4 December 2009 (CET)

To be fair, the extravagant language is probably intended to make a point. Namely, that you don't have to use the same words over and over. But still, you got a point. I'll clean things up a little, but really, my grammar is only marginally better than Chris's. --Jump 23:07, 4 December 2009 (CET)

Welll-l, as the one who wrote most of the article, I'd say it's more like this: with just a little bit of practice, you too can learn to write in a manner that is not quite boring and pointless. Chris, on the other hand, obviously struggles to write. ...wait, that's the same thing as you said, isn't it? *sigh* I'm sorry if my verbiage veers most verbose at times - please do clean it up if you can... =) --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 02:48, 5 December 2009 (CET)

Fantastic article. One thing on exposition - I think this goes back to Chris's autism. I forget how it's described but one trait of autism is that they tend to assume that other people know what they know. It's like in the Sonichu comics - Chris assumes we know who Mary Lee Walsh, Sarah Hammer, etc. because he knows who they are and therefore so should we. It took a while for people to figure out that these were based on real people. So yeah. --Champthom 09:52, 8 December 2009 (CET)
