Honestly, the execution of the zombie thing isn't bad... It's just... Ew! Disgusting! Gross, and ick and nasty. I just don't even.

I think he realized he'd written the perfect Anakin-to-Vader story and then went, "Oh. Shit. My good guy is no longer a good guy. EVERYBODY PANIC." and then went into frantic ret-con mode. Which is sad because he could have had fun with Harry as Vader for a few books, then given him one hell of a wakeup call.

Agreed!

I wanted to like Nightshifted.

Every time I see Rachel Weisz, I have a real conundrum.

I'm overweight and out of shape. My BMI is right on the edge of obese. I'm more than a little concerned that my doctor never says anything to me about this.

This story just killed me. As the daughter of an interracial marriage and a woman who's looking at her own interracial marriage... Man.

I love that the most. I just about snarfed ginger ale through my nose reading it.

I am cursed with deliciousness. It sucks.

I don't have any comics knowledge to set my expectations, so all of this is new to me. I'm loving this show. Once they manage to make Laurel more of a consistent character, I'll be even happier.

I was being a tad facetious, which may not have come through well in text.

A lot of us do it on Twitter, actually. You can always find someone encouraging a writing sprint or looking for a word war on there.

I want to take this book and give it to the Ann Romneys and the Michelle Bachmanns of the GOP and make them read it. I'd be like, "The wife? THAT'S YOU. DO YOU GET IT?" But the answer would be, "Oh, that could never happen!"

The ultimate tool to stop overthinking it and just get the damn words out is Write or Die word wars, imo.

I want to add two things here.
