It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Out of curiousity, are you setting it in the 90s or today?

The initial event - a girl named Nona is killed by a single shot as she's coming out of an LA club with a bunch of Industry heavies - happens in the late nineties. A lot happens today, with him looking back.

Basically, the shooting is solved at the end of book three, which would be about eight years later. And it can't be proven.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like it. Quite a lot.

information libertarian

Can I make a library plug for your research on the contemporary mid-90s stuff? SFPL (and Berkeley or somewhere) will have magazines like Vibe - which is my memory of the big hip-hop magazine from the 90s - in backfile, either in paper or on microfilm (SFPL certainly says they have Vibe from 1993 on, but I can't make enough sense of their record to see what format the older ones are in). You can read about 1995, for example, as it happened, see what was hot each week and month. Rolling Stone I'm sure would be available though of course it's much more mainstream, and there may be other smaller magazines I'm not aware of, but your sources would know titles and then you can send the librarians happily scurrying to find them for you.

Signed, geeky about library research.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Deb, do you have any Lauryn Hill, or Fugees? I think you'd like The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which I have and and YSI to you.

Tep, alas, I loathe Lauryn Hill. She drives me nuts. I do love her guitarist, though; Wyclef can seriously play.

New drabble time!

Challenge #113 (hunger) is now closed.

Challenge #114 is photos from the Look At Me Web site. We haven't done that in a while, and there were some photos that were too good to pass up. I keep wanting to write captions (rather than drabbles) for them.

When you post your drabble, please mention which photo it is that you're using. Thanks!
