So, just to clarify, Spike is not mentioned in the book, right?

Because Allyson is a h8r.
And a known hater, at that.

I didn't see what happened at 'esque, and I don't know that I'm up for craxy fandom today, but think about this, Allyson.... the complainers might just end up reading it too, to see what awful things you are clearly saying about Spikey-wikeyOMG!!1!one!, and that's more purchases/library requests!

Allyson! Book! EXCITING! stalkers not so fun.
Too early to articulate much. The Inside was not a show for me. Too dark...
But Drive or at least what I saw of the pilot is more my show. Cindy, it's fast. It's unexpected; characters did things that made me say, "huh. that's weird as shit, but I see where it might make sense to them." The characters are flawed and a little bit odd and broken, and fundamentally human. Granted pilots are all set up and there are several characters, but at the end, the last shot, I kept thinking, "Well, what happens next?" and that's a good sign for me.
Drive also felt like I was sitting in a videogame. At least that 4 minute part with the sprawly drive and zooming into cars. Disconcerting for me as I'm not a videogame kind of girl, but I could see where The Kids would dig it.

Yeah, people have to buy the books to burn them. It's a win/win!

This is a book you can give to your loved ones to explain, "This is why I love the people in the box on my desk."
I need to give this book to people in order to explain to them how come I'm so excited and happy regarding this book. By this person in the box on my desk.

Kat totally sold me on "Drive" with this, for the record.

Well, plus, there's an entire essay about you!
Hi, Nilly!

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
Well. That was odd.

What is even happening?
It was odd, Allyson. They'll likely end up more pissy that you were telling the truth, and that your book has nothing to do with Spike. They're probably hoping for 'shipper war chapters or something. It's so far apart -- so above that. Thank goodness.

Me too, Nilly.
Kat, the older I get (or maybe just the more experience I have with shows that make me think) I find myself more drawn to flawed, odd, and broken, and fundamentally human characters. Thank you.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah. Very, very odd. People are odd.
