She's a witch! But also daaaaamn.

Hell yeah, Jeff. Knocking iy out of the park and other positive corporate praise.

If you need a break after that I totally get it... but for every kid who is loudly wrong and just mean there are scores of us here to remind you that you are loved and respected in the community.

Oh wow. I'm seeing a lot of personal taste confused for objective fact. Why do people always forget they have the ability to not read a thing. You can love a writer and still go, "this one isn't for me." Also, none of that was constructive criticism... it was just insulting you and complaining.

I fear someone forgot to install the hard reset button. (Which shouldn't be surprising because it was designed by rich white men who are notoriously over confident and short sighted).

Just absolutely seething the whole time.

As an occasional Starb enjoyer (only with transfemme Stevie) I see your point ... but I don't like it. Tommy and Barb bonding over pining over their best friends and wishing they would break up. I can see it... but I also feel like neither of them would admit to that even on pain of death.

Also, did I wind up buying a Spanish language version of this and reading a couple stories in the original language to check a hunch that there were some changes in the translation that affected the tone and flow of some these stories? I didn't want to blame the translators without verifying first.

Right? I did my undergrad thesis on Korean literature in translation a decade ago and I had to work so hard to find texts to use, a year later The Vegetarian came out and now there are so many great books being translated! It looks like it will get a US edition next year... but that's so far away.

Autocorrect, I said what I meant, and I meant what I said!

I want it so badly. Unhinged women in books is one of my favorite surgeries. It looks like Europa has plans to publish it next year here. So I'll have it eventually... just you wait.

Nope. Do what you gotta do. Time is an illusion. The real kinktober is always in our hearts.

7?

14!

What if he wasn't even there though? What if he was making out with Eddie the summer groundskeeper in the tool shed. He did supply the beer... and access to the court... and the solo cups... but really he wasn't even involved.

They are blinded by the lip gloss. I also would have made the face those girls did when he tried to flirt through corporate bs instead of serving them.

If this theme doesn't sound like it would work for you, but you might be interested in a future one, let me know, and we can talk about joining next year. They don't all have themes so if you are a mood reader or want to gush about a fic you just read (as I have in the past) it might be an option.
