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

Thinking about it, I sent a detailed contact list, one of my blurbs was written by one of my subjects, and I supplied links to actual conversations that took place along with a list of permissions granted by people I wrote about.

I wonder what sort of documentation Asshole provided.

I'm just busy trying to construct a horrific past for myself so I can get published.

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

I gave my editor your number, did he call?

Nope. I could be a figment.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You were a book editor, Ginger. In STALINIST RUSSIA. And you published this book that was supposed to be a memoir, but it turned out to be total fiction. And you are the Princess Anistasia.

I'm just busy trying to construct a horrific past for myself so I can get published.

Well, when the James Frey thing broke, I was all grumbly because as a writer of historical fiction, I can't really fake a memoir. I mean, even the most credulous idiot won't believe I was alive in 1811...unless I'm the reincarnation of a Peninsular War camp follower writing a past life memoir.

Except now I'm writing an alternate history, so, uh...I'm channeling my past life spirits from an alternate universe? Think anyone will buy that?

I'm sure it made a big difference, yes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I realize I am being all me me me.

No, you are being all "I am sharing my unique personal knowledge of this subject we are discussing." In other words, please don't stop.
