Has Brian Influenced Your Writing Style?
 

My English teacher keeps nagging about the importance of reading and how you pick up on the writing style of what you read…
So, has 8-bit theater altered your style?
I’ve noticed that I am no longer able to sell “Nuclear” correctly. This is bad in biology…
The nuklear membrane surrounds the nukleus, inside the nucleus is the nukleolus...
It keeps going on and off in my notes...

I rarely ever use humor in my writings. Even when I do, it's usually really crappy insult jokes (I once called the Tails Doll/Puppet Tails a PBS reject XD).

My humor has improved a bit though, outside of my writing. Ironic jokes at inapropriate times are at an all time high in my imediat area. :P

Not really, but Clevinger has influenced my habits in philosophy. Nowadays I think even more towards the cosmos than I do towards fate and the divinity of existence. I barely know anything about the cosmos, actually...but I am still aware of the fabric of reality.

What?...



Philosophically, the entire thing does present Brian's ideas and sort of insinuate them, but it's very hard to detect, and it's very subtle. If it was full-blown one way or another, the comic would be difficult to read, even if you agreed.

Something like that.

Or maybe I'm so bored, I no longer have control over what I type or think. Damn it all.

I can see how Clevinger can influence one's way of writing, however...I keep thinking nuclear is spelled nuklear, and that nuklear looks more proper than nuclear.

Not to mention that Horse With No Name song, it just won't leave me alone.

I'm not entirely certain. I would not at all be surprised if he has slightly affected my vain stabs at humor writing, but only to a minor degree. Douglas Adams, now, that man is my idol.

But as for prose writing? Doubtful. While Mr. Clevinger certainly has a knack for dialogue, 8BT is such a negligible amount of my lifetime literary diet that I would be shocked if I had absorbed a great deal of it.

The style...perhaps, but since I'm into writing fantasy/humor myself, this strip has been a continued resource for ideas and inspiration.

Writing Style, hmm don't thinks so, I'm into the fantasy writing since a long time (just amateur, but with my own style). Now, in my rolpelaying, hell yeah, he has changed a lot the style of puns I usually make while I'm playing D&D. :D Esepcially because one of the players made a wizard based in BM plus a level of barbarian for more stabbity rage death.

Monk (aka Red Monk or RM): So shopkeeper, do yo sell nunchucks?
DM: Not at the moment
Monk: And Swordchuks?
BM: Hahahaha
DM: NO!
Monk: Well BM time to stabbity death

Or something like that, I can't remember well the scene.

Subtle, hard-to-detect concepts and ideas, almost invisible to the concious mind but readily absorbed to the subconcious, deeply embeded in otherwise innocuous media?

Oh, yeah. That doesn't influence people at ALL.

My advanced, meaty brain is immune to such manipulations.

... What?
