So I once cosplayed as Freakazoid. It was good times.

OHHHHH IT’S A SNAKE

The Myousa: Ooh ooh do one for purple prose.
Me: Like a whole lecture
Me: It would pretty much be “Purple prose. Don’t do it.”
The Myousa: Or, er, sorry, the better way to describe things than finding the longest synonym you can in the thesaurus for ‘crunchy’ or whatever.
Me: Ah
Me: Yeah I could do something about that
The Myousa: You’d have to start off with the question of semantic and definition. What IS purple prose, one might ask.
The Myousa: Why is it spoken of in darkly hushed tones, in half-whispered sentences and judgements that include such words as ‘mary sue’ and ‘Stephanie Mayer.’
Me: Is it merely text, colored purple in the document editor? Nay, good reader, it is something far worse than that.
The Myousa: What makes the difference between a Bronte and a Bleachfan2001? A Shelley and a Mayer?
Me: What the hell does ‘pretentious’ really mean, anyway?
Ahem. So. Purple prose. We’ve all heard not to do it. But what is it, exactly? Why does it happen? Where does it come from? And what does it waaaaant? Most importantly, how can you avoid it?
