I have seen this coming a long time, done my best to stop it without any illusions as to what my odds were. But then again, I'm an arrogant elitist socialist rather than an arrogant elitist liberal. (Cause of course all non-conservatives are by definition arrogant and elitist.)
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
DJ, that is magnificient.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And we all want to destroy America.
Really, is it too much to ask to have one major political party recognize the other major political party as legitimate? I guess so....

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
It appears as though Sam isn't going to be reviewed by any of the major outlets.
I'm saddened.

As soon as the words flashed on the screen I was all "HA! Damn, Meg..."
I'm sorry to hear that Allyson. I will continue to pimp it to everyone I know.

Thanks, DJ. I'm going to put my shoulder to the wheel and do whatever I can to pump out some good publicity. I'm excellent at doing this sort of thing for other people, but not for myself.
Everyone has been too busy to help me put up the website, which sort of blows, since I'm awful at design.
I actually like Sam very much, I wish I could get someone to review it who doesn't know/love me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish I could get someone to review it who doesn't know/love me.
Like Peter Beagle?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Allyson, I would visit that site every day. Twice on days with new frog news.
In snarky political news, perhaps Meg Whitman shoulda done a bit of research before basically handing Jerry Brown the best political ad this year.
Duuuuuuuude.

Allyson, I don't know if this would work for you, but my university's library has The Butler Children's Literature Center that might be a good place to send a copy of Sam. It's a center for childrens/YA librarians, and if they like the book (which of course they will!!!), it'd be a great place for exposure.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm excellent at doing this sort of thing for other people, but not for myself.
So just pretend your doppleganger--who coincidentally is also named Allyson--wrote Sam. Disassociation FTW!
I'm sorry that you're on a tough road right now.
