Keith Inc. Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Ya got me. Anyone think there is a rise in shrinking in mainstream media nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Actually, yeah, now that you mention it. Why do you think that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest echtrae Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 It is the Gulliver effect. Have you heard of the Gulliver effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Not til just now. Should I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest echtrae Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Not necessarily. Is your life sheltered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Inc. Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I have a dozen stories with Lilliput or Brobdingrag characters, and I've never heard of any Gulliver Effect. Is it like the Butterfly Effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Maybe... Should more research be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Inc. Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I am always in favor of researching shinking. Oh, wait, did you mean researching the 'effect' thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Either way. If you want to handle the shrinking side of things, I'm sure we can find someone else to look at the 'effect'. Would you want a house elf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Inc. Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 My upbringing leaves me uncomfortable with the idea of a servant. Not in employing one as much as having no idea how to act around one. And the depictions of the house elves in HP tend to sound more like slavery than anything else. So, no. Would you want a djinni?

dazzledfirestar Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 After seeing Wishmaster... no, not really. What would you wish for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Inc. Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 A gentle djinni. But if the Djinn in the bottle isn't gentle, how will they react to that wish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Not well, I imagine. Would it turn you into something unnatural? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoryJunkie Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 *looks at sig* Perhaps.... Do you LIKE unnatural? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well... not too unnatural. Is there a chart or something that we can measure unnaturalness on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest echtrae Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Certainly, I think you can buy it at Wal-Mart for 19.99. Do you need a link to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 No, there's a Walmart down the street. I'll pick one up tomorrow. What is the appeal of fictional characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest echtrae Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 That they can be anything that your imagination comes up with. Do you have a personal favorite? (though I suspect I already know who it might be ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Ummm... I've got a few... What did Nan tell you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest echtrae Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Why? Was she supposed to tell me something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 No... not at all... Curious now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest echtrae Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Would the top of your list include an X-Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Yeah, Gambit's up there. Who is on your list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest echtrae Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Gambit's love interest, Rogue, is one of them. I just love the way she was drawn, particularly in the cartoon series. What did you think of the cartoon series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzledfirestar Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I love the cartoon series! I think Chris Potter's voice may be part of the reason I love Gambit so much! When do you think they'll release those on DVD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
