Deb, my MiL just asked for the name of your new book so she could buy it for the library!
I hadn't mentioned it to her in months, so it was pretty cool that she remembered to ask.
This post has no other point.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Doooooooooodesse, sounds like a point to me....

Question (yes, this is the proper thread for this) to all the LAistes/istas who read here:
I want to set a very old - as in, she died under the reign of Elisabeth Bathory and in fact shares a name with the Blood Countess's head henchwoman, she turned him during the Terror in Paris - vampire couple somewhere along the coast, in or around LA. It can't be far, and it can't be a closely knit community where people would pry.
Alternately, I am perfectly willing to set them into a reasonably old (turn of the last century) mausoleum or crypt. But neighbourhood? Coastal town? Somewhere within an hour of North Hollywood, as the crow (or the vampire) flies?
Help?

Big Sister Games
The room is absolutely dark. It's almost as dark as what's going on in the pit of my six-year-old stomach.
My sister, nine years my senior, is an experienced sadist, when it comes to expressing her resentment at having to temporarily share my bedroom. Her voice is dramatic, menacing, laden with threat.
"...just a hand, with claws, no face or body, and when little girls go to sleep, they come out from under the bed and they grab and..."
I won't give her the satisfaction of crying or whimpering. But I'm not sleeping tonight, either.
I stare the night away.

I got your message, Deb. Will read and respond tomorrow. Ironically, I've been beta for somebody else tonight.

Kewl! I'm sort of in limbo until I figure out where I'm parking my vampire couple, damn it all.

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
If this asshat can get a book deal, we should all be very, very successful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is she mad at the nice people too, for only being lurkers?
