Dear All,
I have pur­chased for myself a copy of Bret Easton Ellis’ “Amer­ican Psy­cho” for the pro­cess of research. I have already read “Lol­ita”- an excel­lent book, highly recom­men­ded; Nabokov is bril­liant. I have also fin­ished “House of God”, and I have a copy of “Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger. My next tar­gets, ostens­ibly, should be cer­tain selected […]

Dear All,
It seems that my char­ac­ter, val­de­mos­thenes, appears to oth­ers to be slightly dif­fer­ent than I had ima­gined her. Adject­ives used to describe her thus far: naïve, flowery, soft, weak, pass­ive. This is giv­ing me some doubts about my abil­ity to por­tray this char­ac­ter adequately. She is not meant to have those as her main attributes […]

Dear All,

I should not really put a com­ment in here every single time that I post upon dear Dire Assas­sin. I sup­pose it is clear now that I am adopt­ing a more nov­el­istic style for Part Two. The new char­ac­ters are drawn pretty much from the archetypal med­ical stu­dents that pop­u­late our clin­ical schools. The “med jocks” (people such as […]

Dear All,
With tonight’s post on Dire­As­sas­sin begins Part Two of the story. This means, of course, new and excit­ing char­ac­ters! In the interests of a depth of story, two of her fel­low med­ical stu­dents, Adeline (val­de­mos­thenes) and Claire (diced_mice, cour­tesy of thewolf­one) now have Live­Journ­als.
There isn’t much more to say, except that I am rather, rather tired.
Yours,
Deutschy, […]

Dear All,

As you are prob­ably aware, I have con­tin­ued the journal of the “lovely” Dire Assas­sin. Per­haps I should explain: I had given up on that blog as it had offen­ded too many people who in fact believed those thoughts to be my own, which was some­what the point, as it was an “altern­ate explan­a­tion” for the actions […]

Dear All,
I am con­sid­er­ing whether to start post­ing on Dire­As­sas­sin, that oh-so-maligned Live­Journal account of mine, or not. I actu­ally have a fair idea of where to take this char­ac­ter now. There are a lot of inter­est­ing themes left to explore and dis­cover, and Live­Journal format worked well in the past.
Why the reser­va­tions? Because of what happened last time. […]
