I'm about 1/3rd through Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter. The incest wedding serial was good but the racist cop serial was boring. Aunt Julia's a cool bitch.

Burkion's a cool dude and it's his first writing project; good on him for literally giving everyone on SA an opportunity to read it and criticize it. I know I don't have the nads to do that.

Yeah making fun of a guy who has the balls to put his stuff out there is lame. Good for him. I want to make fun of the people who have never published a single thing telling others how to write
