maryJust for the record, the weather today is partly suspicious with chances of betrayal.
So I finished reading Diary by Chuck Palahniuk, based on the recommendations of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cccccontroversy and ix_tab. And holy shit you guys, you were right, it is fucking great.
Basically it's like if The Wicker Man and House of Leaves had a baby and then gave it to Wide Sargasso Sea and The Prisoner to raise.
Diary is the closest thing to a modern fairy tale I've ever read. With all the ugly, frightening, mysterious, terrible, ruthless, looming, weaving, strangeness that fairy tales have.
I really loved it a lot. But mostly I'm posting about it because I know there has to be a Panic! story based on this book out there, and I wanna read it.
It's one thing to know intellectually that Fever is to Chuck Palahniuk as Pretty Odd is to the Beatles, it's another to actually read Palahniuk and realise that oh, Ryan Ross, no wonder you are out of your tiny ridiculous mind if this is the stuff you were reading at the age when I was harfing down Anne Rice and Poppy Z Brite.
Just for the record, the weather today is slightly sarcastic with a good chance of a) indifference or b) disinterest, in what the critics say.
So, no, really, I need someone to link me to the story which must exist in which Ryan is Misty and Pete is, uh, Peter? Or, um, something? Whatever! I just wanna read some vintage !-era Panic fanfiction about Ryan Ross as a Palahniuk character. My needs are simple yet specific.
