Androxine Vortex
Archmage
Does anyone else feel this way? I write about a character and can describe him as best as i could but if ten people all read it they would all see ten different people. I like to think that every reader feels their version is the correct one and seeing it on screen is different then your vision.
I also use crazy imagery such as incomprehensible and impossible landscapes, otherworldly beings beyond our understanding, and things that no naked eye can look upon without succumbing to madness. How could you ever portray that on a screen? I don't think you really can.
As much as i like things like the Cthulhu mythos, i think that level of mystery and alien nature of it is what alured me to it. Yes while the Art of Cthulhu is very nice, i think real horrors are things you wouldn't be able to see or explain. If places and creatures i have created where made on screen i would always feel like it could have been done better justice. It's like counting to infinity, no matter what number you stop at you could always add more.
Or maybe I'm just crazy? The world may never know...
