I must go and smear peanut butter on a bunny – now! Waaaah!

For some reason that remark suddenly reminded me of Eddie Murphy talking about a bear and a rabbit in Delirious. Heh.

Thanks, guys. I wasn’t out to get compliments, but they did make me feel better.

I share what Jakob said. I’ve been following your blog for a long time as well and have loved all of your games. I’ve played through The Great Machine several times and the writing still amazes me.

I’ve never posted on here before but I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate all the work you put into this, and I’m looking forward to your next projects.

Actually, I were going to respond on your videos but realised that I didn’t have much more to say than: “It looks like it could become a really good movie!” and didn’t have the time to think through a more constructive opinion.

I have been following your blog almost since your old site were invaded by Evil, played all your games (and loved most of them!) and spread them to my friends, of which some actually played through more than one of them. You have also inspired me to begin listening on The Nightwatchman and Helen Trevillion.

I firmly believe that more are interested in your work than you believe. At least you have a small fan-base here in Sweden

Actually, you’re right – and that’s not the first time people have vandalized the page, either. Hmm. So much hatred out there. So much random destruction. So much peanut butter on… no, no, I must not think about that. I must not! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem.

You’re entirely right, of course, and I’m overreacting. It’s mainly because the frustration of trying to get an agent for Verena and the difficulty of getting to what I feel is the next stage in our lives – writing books and making films – are really wearing me out emotionally. This is a turning point in our lives, and if things don’t start going well, it will be very hard for us to do the things we live and feel the need to accomplish.

I cannot take all this rationality and logic! I must go and smear peanut butter on a bunny – now! Waaaah!

Well, if you’re determined to care about Wikipedia, it may help to know that the notability template was added by an unregistered user with no other edits on the IP. The article already has links to quite a few sources. I’d wait a month or so, and if no deletion proposals or substantive criticism is made, someone should remove the notability template.

I know, but that’s a rational answer.

I wouldn’t let Wikipedia notability discussions hurt your ego too much. Many of the editors are so focused on Wikipedia’s self-importance and mainstream recognition that they lose perspective. Even webcomic artists with ten or a hundred times your number of appreciative fans get their articles deleted for non-notability. The “sources” you cite above are, in my opinion, the important recognition of your work.
