Fifty Shades of Crap: The snailmail project

ETA: Temporarily public.

This is mainly for necromommycon's amusement, but for anyone else who has subjected themselves to the horror that is the E.L. James series of dubcon and terrible writing (or for those who were wise enough to avoid and just want a laugh), you can take a glimpse at what several of us have done to a copy of the heinous first installment. necromommycon kicked it off, and it went through three people's edits/additions/notations/hilarious asides before reaching me, at which point I whipped out the gold gel pen and went to town. It's now headed off elsewhere, but I wanted to get a few photos of the more LOL-worthy pages before giving it up.

I really think more people should do this with terrible books. It makes things so much more fun. I think I laughed more while "reading" this one than I ever have at actual comedy or satire. Well played, predecessors. And good luck to my successors. At least there are still 46 shades of ink from which to choose.

P.S. If you happen to want to be added to the list of recipients & are up to adding snark before sending it off to the next ~~victim~~ lucky person, do let us know. I'm not sure how long the queue is, but it's worth the wait.

Housekeeping.

It's funny that several friends have already done this today; I'd written an entry to the same effect earlier, but my computer crashed & I lost it. So now I just look like a copycat. But...okay.

My Flist has gotten bigger than I'd ever planned for it to be over the past few months. While in many cases that's been because of some great new additions, I also notice that there are quite a few inactive journalers/commenters on my list, as well as some folks who've been around for years & yet we really have nothing in common or rarely talk. Soooo....I'm doing that irritating "you must prove to me you are worthy!!!11one!" thing. No, actually, I'm just trying to keep those who want to be kept, and let anyone else off the hook without drama or angst. And I'm changing my filters, too, so this seemed to be a good time to do it all.

If you want to stay on my Friends List, tell me so. Just comment. Leave a comment, or just a comma, or a percentage sign, or an expletive, or a picture of a cow. Whatever you like. I have no wish to hack anyone who does not wish to be sliced & diced. If you do not comment, no harm done, no hard feelings etc., and fare thee well. I'll also be changing the list of hott_otp to reflect that of this journal. If you want outta the boring day-to-day one but wish to stay with hott_otp, say so. Or vice versa. Or whatever. Again, s'all good. God, this is complicated.

You now know what to do. Cheers.

I usually don't notice if someone adds me without commenting, so let me know you've been here!

Once we've become friends, you can...
