Writing is hard...

[elisi]

We often complain about how awkward writing is... and how much bad!fic there is out there. But thanks to my marvellous flist, I bring you two examples of PUBLISHED writing that will make you want to scrub out your brain...

This is the most purple writing you'll ever read. No words of introduction can do it justice, trust me!

This on the other hand deserves some sort of bad sex award... (Srsly, there's stuff in there that Stoney would be proud to put in one of her posts. *is scarred*)

I promise to make an actual, sensible, post one of these days, but RL has been full of poorly children, and the next chapter of MI has been misbehaving. *kicks it*

Oh! Just remembered! If you need something GOOD (and hysterically funny) to read after those atrocities, I can recommend Angelus' Diary by st_salieri. It slayed me in the best way possible! :D

Heh heh. I sprung the $5 for the entire ebook last week ('Knight Moves') and it was totally worth the money. I shared with my best friend and oh, the lulz! I'm secretly tempted to look into more of that author's ouevre ... just for the fun of it.

(I suspect she may be doing it on purpose. I only found one typo in the entire ebook, it's just too neat and readable not to be done on purpose ... I hope ...)

I feel obliged to point out that you can get the same on LJ for free.

Could be. I hope so, in which case she's laughing all the way to the bank!

Somehow, I only manage to find the *good* fic on LJ - unless someone (like Stoney) specifically posts bad!fic excerpts! Not that I am complaining.

After reading that book my friend is wondering if she ought to try writing bad!erotica on purpose to make a little money - it seems like a surprisingly viable option.

You need trashier friends. ;)

Only problem being that you'll have to learn to live with yourself...
