  • Summary

  • Greetings, Gentlebeing. In this weeks episode, the first of the first season, I am asking the question, "What is a weird idea?" and giving my answer. To me a weird idea has four qualities: The weird feeling - the weirding It is different for everyone Familiarity Originality and Authenticity The weird feeling or the weirding is a definite feeling that accompanies a good weird fiction tale. This feeling and the path to it is different for everyone. The one thing in common however is familiarity. Familiarity is so important to the joke and punchline structure of weird fiction. Finally your weird idea must be original, it must tear down cliches and symbols, and it must be authentic - it needs to be the real you. I cover a range in this episode. It's my first. I'm a writer - I'm new to podcasting. If you have questions, comments, or just want say hello you can hit me up on twitter @serenedread.
