I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

It's a short story by Charlotte Gilman. Creepy as hell. I love it too.

Yeah, that's right. My copy was a paperback called The Yellow Wallpaper and other stories, now that I think about it. Sort of like The Turn of the Screw, which always is a novel in my memory, but in reality is fairly short.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's kind of nuts. He may have been sick for awhile; they hadn't filed an appeal yet.

I don't think its THAT nuts.

He's richer than God. He's about to go to jail. He's reasonably old. And he's a big fat crooked liar.

If he could do it he quite possibly would.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

No sex in Bridge to Terabinthia, IIRC, but yes to the death.

This may be a horribly dorky suggestion, but what about Northanger Abbey? It's gothic *and* romantic *and* snarky as hell, and when I first read it at 19 I was completely awed by the fact that the author had started it at 17 and finished it when she was just my age. Really, Jane Austen's writing career started with teenagerly mockery of the badfic. Possibly that may hook some of them in?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She, actually, and she gets to bring three people. So far, it's her boyfriend, her best friend, and her sister. I repeat, HOLY CRAP. The worst part is how I completely would have deleted the email. It was an online uni competition, so the only way they had to contact her was email. Which was from someone she didn't know and said "congratulations". I'm fairly fucking sure i'd have deleted that.

eta non drunken typing. Ish

THREE PEOPLE? That's a really cool prize. Mondo cool.

Makes me almost want to read my spam.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That is very cool.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, Jars -- that's freaking awesome.

Now I wonder what the first book I read with sex was. It was definitely a YA book.

I think mine was either Emmanuelle, Candy, or the Bible.
