I had a pleasure to travel to the parallel world recetnly. I have a lot of impressions, I made a lot of notes. Unfortunately, it turned out that the pendrive that they gave me and to which I downloaded some interesting data is incompatible with our computers. It could be that while our computer bit can be a value of 0 or 1, their bit could be 0, 1/3 and 3.14159265359 instead. Anyway, a lot of information is lost and I am now based on my unreliable memory and some short notes. Sorry for that.
Coming to the heart, however, what surprised me during my observations is that while in our reality there are many hobby photographers, in the parallel world people are passionate about ... hand writing poetry and prose. Countless websites, including forums, on various forms of writing. They love this topic, and despite the fact that writing for me is so distant, I was eager to have some notes about it. After all I spent there a few evenings browsing their internet, which interestingly is pretty similar to our one.
What caught my attention is that people in the parallel world pay great attention to prose and poetry hand writing. I have never thought that someone having idea for a book would spend that much time considering what pen he should use to write. Meanwhile, the whole forums and discussions are devoted to discussions about types of pencils, ballpens and feather pens. They are having endless deliberations on how a given ballpen is pen, at what maximum speed the pen can be pulled across the paper to still get a continuous line. But the subject of line thickness is an absolute hit! They have a portal there, it's called "prumors.com" (it stands for "pen rumors" I think?) on which there are leaks from pen manufacturers. In the latest entry I read that apparently one of the beloved and most popular pen manufacturers, "Panon", plans to release a pen with a line diameter of 2% narrower than the line of their current thinnest pen! This is a topic for countless discussions on writing forums, where writers suddenly noticed that their current pen collections are completely unusable for writing books, and the 2% reduction of the line thickness will allow them to create a work that is much more interesting for end readers! The new rumored pen is even called a game changer in the world of poetry and prose! Interestingly, in the race for thinnest, which is cosidered to be one of few most important factors for successful writing, "Panon", "Pikon" and "Pony" companies excel, while another producers are unable to keep up. "Pympus" and "Pasonic" opted for the possibility of writing prose in the rain - their pens are more resistant to weather conditions and far more comfortable to hold. But their Youtubers do not recognize "Pympus" and "Pasonic" as being worth speaking of, claiming that the lines produced by "Pympus" and "Pasonic" pens are not thin enough to make impression on end readers. I am telling you guys, I could not sleep for a few nights trying to get why the thickness of the pen's line decides about the quality of poetry and prose?
Well, I saw there users who did not boast about what they wrote at all, instead they discussed how cheap pens are good for nothing, what wide collections of expensive pens they have, what narrow their pens' lines are, how quickly they can pull the pens to get a continuous line... and no single samples of their prose and poetry! Oh, one more I forgot, they are even deliberating how quick they can write with a pen! There is a "P-benchmark" topic to discuss on how many "P" letters per minute they can write, and based on that they rate how much the pen is worth! And guess what? The best seems to be recently released "Pony PalPha 1". But some "Pikon P9" is coming according to prumors site. I have no idea how that relates to quality poetry and prose? What's the buzz about? This logic is completely upside down for me!
Sorry for this off-topic post that is so far from our beloved photography, just wanted to share with you my thoughts in the "Other Discussions" section. Hope admins do not delete this prose and poetry post...
