Norah Vincent is your worst nightmare: a self-absorbed depressive with a Thesaurus. OMG. I'm going to burn this book and mail the ashes to her publisher.

Reckless, irresponsible, highly flawed and just wrong.

She's like a plant: a Blooming Idiot.

See, that sounds hilarious to me. For all the wrong reasons, but still...

Of late, I have become addicted to bad fanfic, however, which is like nothing you can find in print, x100. My new favourite site, TV Tropes, is to blame.

So far, thanks to the fearless and possibly brain damaged Tropers, I have read:

Dragonball Z/Diary of Anne Frank fanfic.
Cthulhu Date Rape fanfic
Harry Potter turns to the Lord fanfic
Hermione's new change fanfic
Paul McCartney gets pregnant fanfic, and
Snape on the Astral Plane, a fanfic so bad, I have only ever been able to find extracts of the original.

Sometimes, I worry about my own writing skills. Then I read stuff like this, and I realize I'm the goddamn Batm...uh, Shakespeare, by contrast.
