"I'm not a big believer in people,” she leaned forward again and continued, “people are wankers. But, you got it all, Snowy: looks, savvy, attitude and, God forbid in this industry, talent to top it all off. F%*&ing classic children's lit you got. I'm not kidding. You got weird sci-fi appeal, anime-slash-manga appeal, cartoon appeal, ‘istory appeal, drama geek appeal, and overachieving li’l ‘omeschool wankers probably love this s&$%. I send you to Comic Con after we get Savannah of Williamsburg graphic novels out there," Veronica grinned ear-to-ear when she heard this, as this was something she'd wanted to do forever, "yeah," Darby acknowledged the grin, "I knew you'd like that idea. Anyway, I send you to Dork Con and you're going to need to lace your perfume with spermicide, so many geeks are going to involuntarily spooge all over you and that innocent Bettie Page thing you do. Then, they're going to actually read your work, 'cause geeks are one of the only groups left out there that know 'ow to read and you're going to need a f*&%king bodyguard to keep the Freaks and Geeks off of you. Trust me. I know people. They suck."

Like it? Read the whole thing! Read the reviews! It's hilarious, summer fun!

"Ch. 60. ROFL!" "Done. Omg! L.o.v.e.! So, so funny!"
