Hi everyone,

I was just wondering, anyone else have someone (HueyD) PM them asking you to sell the copyright of one of your stories to them? When I asked what they wanted to do with my story they said they were a 'novel collector'.

The talk at FictionPress at the moment is this: After last year's mass migration of authors to LJ communities or elsewhere, there are not enough good quality stories and authors left.

I like villains. They put the cherry on top of any story flavoured cupcake.

What do you guys think of misery lit?

(and its notorious friend, the fake memoir?)

EDIT: Right-o...misery lit/misery memoirs are a genre of "literature" where it's an autobiographical account of how damn shitty the author's life is. A million little pieces was one...until it was reclassified as fiction. Misery lit is a big seller because consumers ( Read more... )
