Bottles of wine, covered with dew, and otters

I've been sitting on this for a couple of days, but I can sit no more: If there is purpler prose than this, I don't want to know about it. Includes fanart and a dramatic reading.

ETA: In defense of Silk and Steel. In other words, an intentional burst of badfic?

I always get a kick out of this icon :) Where's it from? You might have already written on this, but I haven't been able to find the answer.

It's Keira Knightley reacting to something on Letterman, I have no idea what.

Hmm, I think the thing I saw was set up as an actual chart, but this definitely works too. Thanks! :)

Oh, preach it. All I could think was "This? THIS they published, but won't give me the time of day? I think I need to go bash my head on something right about now."

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. I may do both. And drown my sorrows in sugary/chocolate snacks. Care to join me?

Only this is one where they couldn't chuck ANY of the options they thought off... they just used them all.

I weep for humanity/literature/writers/publishers.. the list goes on and on. To think this is what is deemed 'reading material' but a real publishing company!

I've seen Middle School story assignments written better then that. Yuck. And very good point... this is kind of a glass half empty/half full type of deal. Either we cry that such horrible crud can be published or we rejoice that it heightens our own chances because we're by far better then that. W00t!
