Ethereal Pages is the fictional writings and poetry of the artists of The Solanaceae Artist Collective and The Society of Lucifer.

I'm afraid we write assuming you are smart, but don't worry it's still all very easy for you to understand, we don't do anything too terribly difficult. Or boring.

We have the benefit of releasing art outside of capitalism so you will never see us do anything just for the sake of making it palatable and keeping you happy in order to suck up your money. We will never bring a character back from the dead solely for the purposes of making you keep reading. Capitalism will never ruin our art like it has all of the other art no matter how hard it tries.

While every now and then you may get an "Epic guy wins!" out of one of us you will never get "And then in the next one epic guy wins! And then in the next one epic guy wins! And then in the next one epic guy wins! And then in the next one epic guy wins! And then in the next one epic guy wins! And then in the next one epic guy wins!"

I don't understand how you can read a story or watch a movie that's stupid. It's fun? You're having fun? You don't want to have to think? No, you can watch a simple story with a lot of action and pretty images without it being stupid. No. No there's no need for stupid.

It's okay because it makes fun of itself in it's stupidness? Then what is it even doing? I can make fun of my stupidness too I don't need to make you watch a fucking two hour movie of me doing it. How can that possibly keep you entertained? If you're sitting there at your computer writing going "This is so fucking stupid and ridiculous" I'm all "Don't fucking show us this, nobody needs to see this, hide your shame."

There is no need for stupid. We can have action and smart. We can have funny and smart.

We all basically write very succinctly. Every line of dialogue advances the plot or the characters or does something pretty. We don't do "See? These are real people acting like normal people." Which I don't mean to belittle, though I don't know how to communicate something we don't do without belittling it. We just don't do it our brains don't want us to do it.

Here is our work. This is not everything we have written, this is just what we consider our masterpieces. They will be rewritten and enhanced over and over. The views expressed in these stories are not necessarily the views of it's author.
