NaNoBloMo Post 21 - The Cool Bits Generator
I almost forgot to blog, and thus I am not sure what to say. So I went through my bookmarks, and refound the Cool Bits Generator, which is supposed to generate only the cool bits of stories for interesting results. For one of them, I got:

Prop 8 (U.S. Gay Marriage) and Race
Alas, A Blog has a links compilation of blog posts about Prop 8 and race called, Prop 8: The Rush to Blame the Brown People (Updated with more links).
My favorite one of the posts I've read so far is Angry Black Woman's If A=B and B=C but C is not equal to A, then...WTF?, because it does a good job of laying out the matter clearly ( Read more... ) -

Any funny bad sex fanfic out there?
I'll take any fandom, since I'm curious over what the scenario would read like. I can't think of any NC-17 fic with sex scenes/smut/PWP/porn/whatever we're calling it with funny bad sex. I'll also take any shipping genre: female/female slash, male/male slash, or het (male/female). My other requirements are that the couple has to like each other, ( Read more... )
