terrible romance called Stronger Than Sin. And no, I don't know what the title is supposed to mean, either.
Is it a Christian romance? That I could see--"we are so into each other...but we know that God is on our side, and wants us to love each other only in the bonds of marriage, because Twu Wuv With GAWD(TM) is STRONGER THAN THE DEVIL"S LUSTY SIN!"
Or, alternately, for an erotic "We can't stop ourselves! This lust is TOO MUCH! We know it is dirty dirty (oh so goooood) sinful sinny sin sin (ooh, talk dirty to me baby it's nasty nasty bad girl you dirty whore!) Our need to have each other is STRONGER THAN SIN!"

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It was strong. Strong like police department coffee. Strong like the man-musk of 12 cowboys herding sheep and battling secret longings strong.
It was stronger than all that. It was stronger than sin. Not wearing mixed fabrics sin, stronger than the kind of sin that is stronger than that, the kind of sin that is so sinful, you have to call it the sin with no name.
Except it has a name. But I can't tell you. Because it is so strong.
But anyway, some Amish people have some sex in the this book and it is STRONGER THAN SIN.

Because books.
You guys are good. I mean, not really, but it's amusing me anyway.

Stronger than Sin. Hmmm....
Well, I suppose the first step is which aspect of Sin is being considered. It's a romance, so let's assume it's love. So the love splattered upon the pages of the novel is stronger than the love of sin.
This is still pretty general. How much on average do people love sin? Well Vegas is sin city and a quick check shows that ending fiscal year 2009, the casinos had a net loss of 6.7 billion dollars. That's not very strong love.
Therefore I presume the love in question will be short-lived and will end badly with accusations of not returning CDs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the casinos had a net loss of 6.7 billion dollars. That's not very strong love.
What about the strip joint revenue? I think the casino net loss might be people being very good at sin.
But doesn't the house always win?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Y'all are setting the bar way too high. If the sin is sloth, all our sultry heroine has to do is get off the couch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I got good feedback from a non-boss person. And they may have found my replacement -- yikes. At least I'm pretty sure to get a contract for April as well.

I think you're over complicating the issue. I think that overall casino profit is a reasonable estimation of the wages of sin.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I was thinking about going to urgent care today because of this week-old cold but today the glands that were swollen have gone down, I'm breathing easier and my throat is not as sore. I'm not well, but I'm better. That means I don't need to see a doctor, right?
