Calling all girls!

Ladies:

Do you secretly (or not-so-secretly) like to read books that have hot pink covers with curly writing and impossibly slender cartoon chicks on the front?

Does this somewhat less than intellectual literary proclivity embarrass and delight you at the same time?

Do you have a hectic schedule or a short attention span that only allows you to read a chapter at a time?

Do you like blogs with awesome names?

If you answered "hells yes!" to all of the above, Ninja Sex Pants (check out that URL name, best evs) is the blog for you. Moonkee writes a Cheesy Bookstore Romance (her words, not mine!!!) serialized in blog form. She explains it like this:

In 1996 I started writing a cheesy romance. I was working at Waldenbooks then and saw daily what utter crap was selling like hotcakes. (See "Throwing 'The Horse Whisperer' across the room upon completion, circa 1996.")
This is the result, as far as I got with it.

Now remember, this was written to make fun of other books. The initial idea was to take something exceedingly dull and cheese it up. I believe that when it's done right, this could be termed something along the lines of "farce" or "satire." But fear not! I promise that you will find no such thing in the reality that is CBR. You'll want to start with the first posting, April 25. And by "want" we all know I mean "will do it to make her feel better and staunch the flow of approval-seeking e-mail before it starts."

Unfortunately, Moonkee has allowed real life to interfere with posting the next chapter. I know, right?! So I'm counting on y'all to get over there (in the interest of doing my bidding, go to that link before you go to Chapter 1) and beg shout at coerce encourage her to continue writing!!!

I need my next chapter, people!

Moonkee, I'm not above bribery. Please accept this shiny new Sweet Blogger (Redux) Award* as prepayment for my next chapter!!!



*I don't know who all I've given this award to but if you have the old one, please feel free to take this one as an upgrade!
On a side note, I'm kind of annoyed because the colors are showing up much more blue/purple and wishy-washy when I upload it than they are in the original file, but I still think it's better than the old one. Does anyone know why the color looks perfect when I Save For Web in Photoshop and then changes when I upload it to Blogger?

The drought recedes as quickly as it arrived.

Okay so you guys are the best.

Oddly enough I randomly came up with a few ideas for future posts that had nothing to do with anyone's comments, but I know you all did it for the glory, so here is the list of winners, which I basically decided not on the quality of your comments (because they were all awesome, even the unhelpful ones) or even the quality of the ideas therein (I think memes are a good idea, but I'm not feeling them for this blog right now), but of their usefulness to me in particular:

TishTash - for sucking up and giving me a plotline idea - your chapter is coming up next.

thechrlog - for apparently believing I could write a novel. It got me thinking about doing more creative writing. Or are you just trying to say my posts are too long?

joshlos - because you put your hand up to be in the Chronicles. Although I'll have to think about the kung-fu angle.

Eric
Tennyson
Well Fed Graphic Designer
mo.stoneskin
Cora
- because (like all women) I'm a sucker for compliments.





Oh yeah and the offer to Chronicle anyone in my sidebar (because if you're not there, chances are I don't know you well enough to write you a character) still stands, but I think I need you to put your hand up for it. So please volunteer at any time.
