Damn.
Also, apparently, we're thinking of donating all of our manga to the library. It's random ones, unfortunately.

I spent last night reading badfics for the entertainment of my twitter followers and friends and there were some interesting results including getting jailed for two hours on my main account. and that, friends, is why you should get on twitter.

i'm starving and i have already passed out from hunger so to take my mind off of things i am now beginning what is bound to be a horrendous trek through the 50 shades trilogy
mercy on my soul i'm already dying a little inside (i don't know whether that's because of hunger or reading this but i'm blaming it on the book)

that's terrible... well, at least you're not eating the book right?

Frankly I think I'd get more out of the book by ingesting it than reading it.
I'm over halfway through. I can see why this drivel has managed to capture the attention of the masses, but good grief ... I think I'm going to run my head through a wall if I hear the words "inner goddess" again.
Now, if you'll pardon me, the protagonist is about to get her first spanking.

I'm still staying away purely because of how bad it makes real BDSM relationships look

I am halfway through the first book. I have spent some time livetweeting it, mourning my loss of brain cells, and wishing I could go back to reading badfic instead, alas, I have committed (I did, however, break for the last few days to read some works by Yu Wo, which are much better).
I am half-tempted to ask if anyone wants to join me to create a pseudonym under which we can write bite-sized stories of erotica to sell as ebooks, because fuck me if I can't write better smut than this.

If I had a more reliable computer, I'd take you up on that...

Who needs a reliable computer when you have basic word processors and cloud storage?
Also, after some goading from friends, I took the challenge and plunged into my venture. My pen name will remain a closely guarded secret, kept distant from myself. My first story should be up on Amazon's market as an ebook by the end of the day. Now, to write more and see if I can actually turn a profit from this shit ...

I can't use the cloud with this computer yet, I'd need to upgrade anyway

Please provide the link, Ahknee!
And if you give me a scenario, I could probably crank out a scene or two. Hopefully, it'd be good. Depends on if we're going for actually sexy, creepy sexy, or just plain WTF?
As for Fifty Shades of Shit there, the first book was bad enough. You're not even to the most infuriating, throw-book-at-wall moments... though I'm sure you already know them.

Oh hell no. I definitely do not want any connection between my ero-writing identity and any established ones I already have, haha. Trust me, I've already had plenty of people ask and I have remained steadfast in this decision. The things selling on the market are just ... Uh, see for yourself? I'm certain if that can sell then I can make it. The 'in' trends are supernatural, BBW, and BDSM, from what I've seen. I finished the first book of the 50 series last night and ugh ugh ugh what even. I'm going to cry by the time I'm done with the series why do I subject myself to this shit aaaah. I think the only thing I got out of that entire book was "Ana and Christian are really stupid and can't keep their hands off each other for more than 5 minutes to initiate intelligent conversation about their problems."

I think when I get a better computer... or just access to somewhere where I can actually write without overheating, I'll test the limits of my own sanity

Good luck, friend. You'll need it (that, and some trial and error. Steep learning curve, ahoy!).

Ugh, really? THAT'S your competition? I'm sure you'll do fine. Though it is sad, I would love to read your work... but it's alright not telling. Just means that I won't be able to read yours.
And yeah, I only read the first one. It was awful enough to stop. You and many others like yourself are brave souls treading into the murky waters.
