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

Is the not-a-date tonight?

Nah. He's in Europe somewhere being brilliant. He'll be here in a couple of weeks.

Question: Should I put my pic up on my frontpage with the blurbs:

Or on the bio page?

I'm an aesthetic moron.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Bio page, Allyson. Seems more logical. The front page sells the book; the bio page is for those who are interested in the author as well.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Or on the bio page?

a. Bio page. I think it's more logical. You could add a picture of a Vulcan to emphasise that point.

b. This is just awesome. I can promise at least one Australian purchase of your book.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

In my head, I wouldn't do that if the sitch was reversed. But as I've come to learn, boys are different.

Hmm. Nor would I, I think. Not that it's ever come up. Someone having a crush on me, that is, at least not since I was single.

Allyson, I just snorted at your bio page.

Damn you, Wee Bull! You win this time!

I win? What did I win?

Oh, and when are you coming to LA and when are you planning on going to the Wild Animal Park? I want to see the apes.

I'll arrive in LA on August 16, and leave on August 20 (a Sunday). I'm not sure when we'll be doing the Animal Park, I've left that in the hands of ND and Kristin. All I know is, it shall be done.

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

I probably wouldn't go for dinner with someone who had a crush on me who I'd never met because men can be creepy and sticky and that sort of thing always goes way wrong for me.

However, I learnt this lesson by having more than one or two dinners with guys who knew I wasn't interested in them.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, it's still your fucking fault asshole, and please stop sending me emails.

Fool me three times and I will kill you.

I didn't get a picture either place! Also, do you know how soon it will be available, Allyson?
