A judge has dismissed the plagiarism suit against Stephanie Meyer, brought by Jordan Scott, who, apparently, wrote something, er, similar, first. Or something.

The poor man had to read both books.

Keep in mind that while (from what I've heard; I refuse to read these on general principles) "Breaking Dawn" has its own brand of frightening, frightening plotting, the Scott book is self-published (by Yorkshire Publishing)...so take that as you will. I will refrain from editorializing.

We should all chip in and buy Judge Wright a thirty-year-old bottle of Laphroaig, right? Just so he can attempt to scrub the images out of his brain?

It's better. Way better. My word choices before were problematic and pulling me out of the scene rather than into it. I finally remembered that panic attacks have more physical reactions than just OMG CAN'T BREATHE and have incorporated them.

Now I can't breathe. Seriously, I've got the shakes. Hopefully, so will a reader who isn't nearly as invested in not!Harry as I am...

Which leads me to think that I may have come to the point where I'm identifying far too closely with not!Harry. Shit. And, courtesy of TV Tropes, I've discovered the difference between a Woobie, a Butt Monkey, and a Chew Toy. Not!Harry = Woobie. Definitely.

In other news, I'm wearing my Puppet!Angel t-shirt and debating whether or not I'm going to a Twilight Release Party tonight to nosh on free cake and point and laugh and shout "REAL VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE, DAMMIT. NOR ARE THEY FRAKKING VEGETARIANS."

Clearly, I have too much time on my hands. Also, issues.

Well.

In celebration of my last post, wherein you all were a bunch of Filthy Enablers, I bring you a Buffy/True Blood/Twilight crossover. Buffy, Sookie, and Bella go on a talk show and discuss their various boyfriends. And then, in the followup, we get Spike, Bill, and Edward.

Also, if that release party is Friday night, I might be able to go. I'm not sure if it's the Walmart or the Borders that's going to have cake, but...cake!

Speaking of vampires and other creatures of the night, the latest editing pass continues apace. Have I mentioned lately how much I love not!Harry? Because I do.

Far be it from him to make someone relive a personal trauma.

Oh, god.

I had a thought nibbling at me the other day. As *cough* unstable as not!Harry is, I'm not sure that him running around armed would be tolerated, legality-wise, in the State of California--which State is pretty intolerant of guns in general and people who are arguably crazy carrying them in particular. I wonder who I'd even call to find out, and what the permit process is like there, if he's working for a private detective agency.

Of course, he might carry illegally. I wonder if his boss would get in trouble if he got caught doing that.

ETA: Huh. This is interesting. The operative term here is, I believe, "adjudicated," which means that someone's gone to actual court and proven that the person is a danger to himself or others. Not!Harry has (clearly) had a diagnosis of PTSD, but no one's taken him to court over it. Although, as events prove out, he is a danger to himself if he doesn't think he has anything left to live for--and believes (whether legitimately or not) that he was responsible in part for the death of someone he loved.

You know, I haven't posted a snippet in awhile...

Friday night at midnight, apparently.

Is it bad that I want to go to the release party at either Walmart or Borders, wearing my Puppet!Angel t-shirt, strictly so I can point and laugh?

There's a fic rec in the comments. Oh, THOMAS. *dies*
