    Want it to be? A fairytale. If it really was, I'm sure it would fall somewhere in the horror spectrum. lol

  • There were plenty of those. The Three Billygoats Gruff, The Three Little Pigs, Snow White and her wicked stepmother. Hmm. Maybe you'll need to have a consult with the author before you step into one of those.

    Dark comedy.

    To quote Xander Harris (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), "My whole life just flashed before my eyes...Man, I've got to get me a life!"

  • That got a laugh. Screen writers can be very clever.

    I've gotta confess that when I almost drowned about 20 years ago (forget about going down three times, I couldn't count how many times I went under) nothing flashed before my eyes at all. Finally, the only thing I remember seeing was a guy who had carried his surfboard in to the isolated beach where I'd been swimming.

  • I'd WANT it to be a romance, but I guess  a comic book, is the closest kind of book I can think of, for myself.

  • Some were destined to be great lovers, Jimmy, some of us were meant to be clowns.

    BTW I don't know if you're in to cryptic crosswords but I once saw a clue that said, "These pleasures are the illuminations at Camptown" and the solution was "delights". Your name reminded me of it.

  • Oh, I am quite adept at the romance, however, my other half, well................let's just say, no romantic story for me. :/ 
    No, not into them at all. Yes, you commented that you like my name. :) Thanks for sharing that tidbit.

  • Sounds as though you've got it well worked out. :)

  • I wonder if it's only coincidental that her initials spell Yes in German? Perhaps she is a person to be obeyed!

    That will depend on which section of the bookstore shelves you look for it... The consecutive theme though will be within sapphic love in all its varieties.

    What version are you looking for? ;-)

    Oops. That might be a very limited edition. But you'd be right on top of the list of people to have the full, uncovered version. *blushes*

  • Allows for plenty of variety (work, interests, recreation etc) around a common theme. You could even opt for a series rather than just a book. :)

    Oh. You got a point there although sapphic love is the overall theme. Hmm. :-)

    Thank you, it could make it as cover for one of the editions. :-)

  • That would guarantee it a place on the NYT best seller list.

    Have to decide if I should use it for the full and uncovered edition, or not. It won't make it on the NYT best seller list though as the unplugged edition would be a very limited number of books if anymore than one at all. Hmm.

  • You could self-publish on the Internet. Offer the book free but ask for donations from satisfied (!) readers. You'll make a fortune.

    A friend of mine has published several books. I'm not too sure I got what it takes. Thanks the believing in me though. :-) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at December 6, 2016 10:41 AM MST
