I think you need a "yo" in there somewhere. Or maybe some LOLs.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

That's why it's a first draft!
Although I swear, I was leaning toward "for realz, yo."
I'm so street.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have no friends.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Now that you're a famous author, can I be your friend?

I'm the one that told her to freaking write the thing and that it would get published. Yes I am.

Seeing as how apparently you've disowned me, I guess you'll have to make due with Minear as your BNF. I had a whole BNF Action Plan ready for the release of the book, but whatev.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. You can start a fansite, Tim.
And Monique can start a competing one, with a different name for the fans, and you can have fandom battles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is my chapter still in there? That's going to affect the quantity in which I preorder...
