Hmm. So, awhile ago I wrote that I had been seeing some amusing similarities between my earlier comics and my visual snow symptoms. I haven't really had
much opportunity to go digging through the computer at my mom's house where most of the files are stored, but that particular line of logic got me
thinking.
And the result: A Chance in Hell (http://achanceinhell.smackjeeves.com), a fantasy/horror webcomic that I'm releasing three times per week. It's PG-13 right now, but I've considered taking it to an R rating. I use flash to make visual snow-like static and the page shifts occasionally to get an brief after-image feel. My original thought was to put floaters in it that interacted with the user's mouse... but I think I might be pushing the limits of what casual readers will put up with as it is. Most of the chapter titles so far have been allusions to visual snow. I'm taking a lot of creative license, but a lot of it is at least indirectly related to my interactions with the visual disturbances.
Not exactly the examples I originally meant to send you, Klaus. I'm not sure when I'll next be digging through the old stuff, but I'll make it a point to send some your way when I do.
Also, speaking of VS in fiction, I saw the Golden Compass the other day, which got me thinking about the books. I need to dig out the descriptions from the books, but it'd be interesting if there was a correlation between Pullman's description of Dust and VS...
