Hmmm. Well, I haven't been able to get in contact with Ostia. I can finish it myself with colored pencils and gumption. It won't be as good, but it must be done, I suppose.

Finished!        Let me know if my miserable handwriting is too bad on any of the pages and I'll translate.

If only Boris Karloff were alive to narrate this.

I still vote for either Orson Welles or Sam Kinnison - at any rate, from the "we need some closure" thread, I thank you from the bottom of my pubis. (Note: pubis) Well thanks again - perfect ending to a perfect thread. Frank Frank fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Feb 23, 2007 |

Thanks for the good words, guys. If I ever decide to intentionally subject myself to severe psychological trauma again (probable), I will most assuredly describe my pain in excruciating detail to you folks. The vampire novel is gone, but there's a book on the shelf called Hidden Assets that has "MALE STRIPPER" proudly displayed on the cover. Classy.

Excellent thread - thank you for the laughs. I especially liked the last few pages of the book summed up as a e/n thread. Following one of the wikipedia entries: quote:The period from 1970-1980 saw explosive growth in the sale of these books, and romance today accounts for more than 40% of all fiction commercially sold. Historical romances published by the largest presses (Avon, Warner, etc) are written to strictly enforced guidelines which shy away from the depravity found in older books. Those guidelines frequently mandate perfect fidelity between hero and heroine, no abduction, forced seduction or rape. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising but it still is. I know that romance as a genre is very lucrative and makes a very good living, but I still think crime/horror/sci-fi/fantasy should probably make up a larger proportion given how apparently popular they are, too. I do enjoy a suspenseful, well-written romance but not in the vein of these novels. Yes, it's not always about the sex scenes. Tension is very important.
