If I can't make the protagonist a sparkly vampire, I don't think I can.
As long as your sparkly vampire, oh, ACTUALLY KILLS PEOPLE, then I'm good.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
nonconsensual editing
I think I just had an orgasm.

I keep thinking of vampire stories to try to write, but I'm expecting the vampire craze to collapse and publishers to start saying, "Vampires? That's so fin de siecle, give me something new."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From what I can see about 50 Shades Of Grey, what seems to be most irritating about it is that is that the fanfic got pulled off the web when it got published. But, no doubt, the publisher insisted. As they insist is wasn't fanfic with the serial numbers sexily filed off (of course, some stern but loving editing could make it even more different, but hey). I thought the Jezebel article (this) was more weird than the book seemed to be. It just seemed--well, I feel I've read better fanfic, and some of it was published, but self-published, and I feel bad for that author.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I though dystopias were the new vampire? Shows how much I pay attention to publishing trends.(Aside from what I can glean from the contents of book dealers' tables at the cons I attend...)

Speaking of scenes, do any Buffistas who participate therein bump into much raceplay? Is it done as publicly as other sorts of play? Gawker noted it as "advanced"
I do not see it much in my neck of the woods, but I have heard of and about it (in general, NSM "we do this"). I know of one guy who has told me he did. I think it's definitely more likely to happen in private. I also know Mollena (many of my kinkster friends are good friends of hers)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I love that someone can half (?) jokingly refer to orgasm with respect to "nonconsensual editing."
Only in a few corners of the internet.

I read this as participate in theremins. And I was really confused as to why there was a hitherto unsuspected underlying raceplay theremin community.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I feel I've read better fanfic
I've read better BDSM fiction, but I've also read worse (Anne Rice, I am looking at you). And, TBH, the ones I particularly love are not because of how OMG Kinky they are; it's because they're geeky in a particularly word-nerdy way, big time (though there is some *seriously* hardcore kink in there, really). I'm not too fussed that it started life as fanfic, but the Twilight-y-ness of it is pretty fucking obvious.
I also know Mollena (many of my kinkster friends are good friends of hers)
I am seriously jealous. I really love reading her blog, because she's so honest about her shit.
And I was really confused as to why there was a hitherto unsuspected underlying raceplay theremin community.
I'm tempted to make that a new fetish on Fetlife.
