The Ret-Con Connection

by Andrea Lena DiMaggio
For Lillith
 

All of us under its spell, we know that it's actually MAGIC
(like ohhh..that's so lovely..not enchanting or anything..you know...)


I've got fewer readers
and even less comments?
What can I do to succeed?
What besides romance,
might they find compelling?
And can I get readers to read?

I thought I was clever
but maybe I'll never
impress like the other one's do?

Readers want action,
with vast super powers,
that come from an author like you!

Someone suggested it
and then I believed it
that's what it's about, you see?
I wrote a musical
trying to be novel...
It's not what I hoped it would be?

I think that I get it...
they like super heroes...
with nice capes and finery
Some day I'll find it
The Ret-con connection
Transgender, the spandex and me!

All of us under its spell
We know that it's actually magic!

Did I miss something
oh I know..it's trending
It's popular now yes it's true
I might just go ahead
and actually try it
oh what's a romantic to do?

I'll leave it to folks
who write this thrilling genre'
and stick to what I love to do
I so like to read it
but don't think I'll write it
I'll leave it to writers like you!

La la lalala la la la la la la la!

This years physical is over and my Dr. thought I might

be diabetic. So they are doing one of those blood test things to find out. I just think it must be too many romances so sweet that it has raised my blood sugar too high for too long. I for one enjoy a good romance, but one must diet every now and then to lower the potential of type 2 onset. So 4 now or a least until my blood sugar returns to normal I'll stick to a diet of action/adventure.

Sorry it must be in my genes meta or blue.

So much to read, so little time and only one of me :)

very funny hunny

but i think you would be great at ret-con. There was a villian called pied piper, so you could do a musical !

I'd write something clever ...

but I have a frog in my throat.

You may all boo now.

Silly fun, thanks.

Andrea, you are so clever

Andrea, you are so clever with words; it is amazing and really wonderful to read them. :) Jan

It's Lynceus that does the Magic stuff. I'm purely a Metagene, Norse god, and Alien Tech kind of girl. So if someone zaps you with a green ray and you feel the sudden urge to read comics... well, then that's me controlling your mind.

I miss Kermit now. *pout*

Write the story that you most desperately want to read.

Dear Lillith....Meta gene...not my genre'

I couldn't write it;
