RE: Confusing Earth - Chapter 29: Coal
Well, on one side it sounds like a lot of fun to have 'people' from Banbazoia at home but on the other hand it requires a lot of patience. I would compare it to having kids, lol.
You made me laugh with that gay porn :D I thought it's going to develop in a funny way but I didn't think about this one.
Your writing is easy to read and funny. You describe the process like you really didn't know how to make a cake. When you can do something, you don't really think about the issues you would face if you didn't know what is flour :) You were able to think like somebody who had no idea. Well done!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The aliens in shows like 3rd rock from the sun were pretty clueless about certain things too, but I just took it a bit further to the point that they wouldn't understand much at all unless they had been taught by someone because to me that made sense really. We'd be confused on another planet if the way they sustained themselves was completely different to food (Banbazoidians inject nutrition into themselves). Human stuff is completely alien to my characters (though they have learned a bit since chapter 1) and if their planet actually existed and wasn't fictional and we went to their planet, we'd be quite lost too. It does take a bit of thought sometimes to work out "wait, would they even know that?" but I don't find it too hard to get in that mindset.
Thanks for reading.
