WHY ARE YOU READING A CHILDREN'S BOOK: A miniwank bedtime story.
Once upon a time, a self-published author wrote a book about ANTIGUA: The Land of Fairies Wizards and Heroes! (Alas, the land lacked commas!) She even gave it every tag in existence, of which only about three were appropriate! (Miley Sirus? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? High School Musical? What, no Kitchen Sink tag?) Unfortunately, it got bad reviews by everyone but the author. Even the forums weren't safe. And neither was Barnes & Noble! THE FIVE STAR REVIEWS ARE NOT FROM THE AUTHOR! REALLY!

And we all lived happily ever after!

The End!

*happy sigh*

Oh man, self-published author wanks are like sex. I feel all relaxed and at peace with the world now.

And slightly sweaty.

Ahem.

Anyway, if you read the excerpt on Amazon and were left yearning for more of Denise's prose stylings, the entire book is on Google Books.

I can't stop laughing at the names! We've got Bernardo and Belinda, The Dragon Vorltrarr, King Aurthorr (clever), Evil Sorceress Gwendeviere, Queen Eleanordora, Knight Sir Hector, Knight Sir Luke, Knight Sir Ralph, Knight Sir Willoughby, Knight Sir Larry (surely it's a coincidence that Larry Ellis co-wrote), the Mermaids Chrandria and Filiandra and Shraunna, King Aquarmand, King Harnaqua, The Centaur Boy Uclepsis, The Centaur Amenphis, The Centaur Aberlardo, and The Miniwad (wtf?) Charliey. At the very least, she needs to have her "r" key taken away.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing about "r" before I got to the end of your comment. Also, I would just like to say that I actually have the book in your icon, which gives me warm, bbq fuzzies.

I was thinking the same thing about the R key before I finished the second line.

I bet she used the Fantasy Name Generator. If she didn't, she should have.

Haha, that's awesome. If I were to write a fantasy novel, I would totally use that.

What's your icon from, btw? Is that the guy from the BBC adaptation of Bleak House? If so, I loved him in it!

Um.

*runs to check Burn Gorman's IMDb* Why, yes! Yes it is. My icon is of him in Torchwood.

I was going to say that it produces better (or at least more varied) names than hers . . . but I was thinking of this generator. Oh, well.

"Uclepsis" has to be a horrible, horrible disease of some kind...

You're right! I missed it! I thought it was a link to Amazon!!!

Sorry! Would you like me to call you Knight Sir Llarmarr_Treatserrdora for the rest of the wank as an apology?!

Well, there's a lot of yelling going on there in that book.

I really can't hold a grudge against anything with warrior octopodes.
