Especially "Based on a Damned Clever Idea". Or were those not meant to be titles but signs that the process was closed? I see nothing wrong with that. The sentiment that having more people involved in the process necessarily improves things is, alas, not held up by my own anecdata: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=21 Last edited by anamardoll; 06-22-2011 at 01:10 PM. |

FLESH FOR SATAN For weeks afterward, my friend could be heard wandering around people's kitchens muttering, "'Satan cult . . . they think it's a Satan cult. . . . It's the idea that knowledge, not faith, allows people to survive death. . . . No pentagrams in the book, not even one. . . . No sacrifices, no 'flesh' appetizers . . . I'm gonna get angry letters now . . . 'you said there'd be satanic blood rituals in here' . . . ." |

Haha, that an AWESOME story.
Piggy-backing off that, I spent a full semester carrying around Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" around a Christian college before I realized why I was getting odd looks. I carried it around for a year after finishing it just because of that. |
