Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I was thinking of little goodie bags and ripping apart my old keyboard that I wrote the book on, and putting a key in each bag.

this is an adorable idea.

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

I was just going to suggest wax lips, but I'm too late. I also love the temporary tatoo idea.

Is there anything else sort of iconic in the book? Maybe little pink flamingoes?

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 I were reading Gay Wedding Tree, I'd definitely get the pink flamingo swizel sticks. I think I'm going to read Minearest and Dearest, since that's the one the publisher keeps sending out to booksellers.

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

You should drag Tim to the reading and have him sit there all uncomfortable-like.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Beagles!

What is even happening?

Allyson, those are good ideas. Then you're going to come to Boston and throw yourself a party out here too, right?

I'm doing a reading in Boston, but I forget where.

I'm very worried that Tim just won't come.
