@StithThompson
A Motif (or memorable story fragment) given every 15 minutes for your interest and/or creative purposes. (Hint: try taking one and writing a story with it.)
E381 - Ghost summoned by weeping [ N. A. Indian, India ]
Soon we will be doing 'mythological experiments' for creative writing with motifs. Anyone interested? hash this: #mythologicalexperiments
But try to get it to figure out a motif from a fairy tale and you need to stop thinking in boxes and start thinking in spider webs. serious.
you know what's hard? Teaching a bot to read fairy tales. Have it crack passwords? They have those. Play the stock market? Piece of cake.
@sawhite1987 Sure, with one request, that you write a song about "K1886.3.2 Dupe made to believe that bare buttocks are the rising sun."
Is every 15 minutes too much? I can slow down to one or two an hour if that's better
Btw does anyone want to participate in some Mythological Experiments?
