Doesn't Susie Bright have a "How to Write Dirty Stories" book out?
Yes, and it's WONDERFUL. I recommended it over in the BItch thread.
It's good on both how to write naughty bits AND writing in general. And sexuality in general.
I can't see the name Susie Bright without thinking of a fic of Spike referring to Angelus: "Man buys a dildo and thinks he's Susie Bright."
Such a great line! I know that fic well. In fact, I think I suggested Susie Bright to the author, while I was doing sort-of-beta.
I'd never heard of Susie Bright before then, so I was quite baffled.
"Are you criticising our Neville's dress sense?"
"No. I'm merely commenting on Draco's tendency to regard relationships as home improvement projects."
Yep, I'm reading it again.
Dude! I think this might earn me the mini-Bar-B-Q set!
sneers at toasters.
I just love Granny Longbottom. She rules.
Hmmm. I could read LoP tonight, couldn't I???
You could!
I always think of Granny Weatherall when I read Granny Longbottom.
Go on, Tep. It's fun. There's snarkage, there's swashbuckling, there's romance, there's more snarkage. There's woobiedom and heart-in-mouth moments. There's Big Gay Love, and Big Heterosexual Oost, and a host of really lovely original characters. And shitloads of research & little touches that root it very firmly in Modern Britain. Hell, in the North of England.
