In other news, I have two actual hardcover finished copies of my book! ::flails::
Yay! That's a great way to kick off your day.

Now tagless for your comfort.
A while ago, the power steering hose went bad on my minivan. I took it in to get fixed and they had to wait at least a week because the part was on back order. I believe that was during the height of the automotive meltdown and a lot of plants were shutting down production--which meant the plants that produced the parts also shut down. It took a couple of weeks to get inventory back up after the government stepped in and employees went back to work.
I don't know if auto workers and the peripheral manufacturing typically slow down during the summer months which may result in parts shortages at times.

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
And then Kristen's car was broken into this morning. Nothing appears to be missing.
I'm a good person, right? Seriously? Do you think my rock is mad that I wouldn't bond with it?

I think your rock is mad because you didn't use it to brain some of these people.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have such mixed feelings about this story.
I think I like the concept, but the packaging is squicky.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I think I understand your squick, Jessica, but the people on loan breaks it down into library language easier than "Consult an Expert" or similar.
I see potential for awfulness, but also for awesomeness. I'd like to see the guidelines for being and for consulting a volunteer.

Truly adorkable. In one photo, she seems to be having trouble not giggling. Obviously, they're in love.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The West Memphis 3 are free. That is amazing, that it took so fucking long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Those are just some of the photos that got locked. There were a lot of nice and bucolic for a quite a long time, and then, boom! Undead. There was more of a narrative.
