Interesting, according to Amanda Hess, it was tumbler teen girls who first pushed Deen into the spotlight. Now, I’ve long been a follower of some tumbler teen girls (and I’m waaay older than them) b/c a lot of them have a good eye for pretty porn - and I love pretty porn - it’s all gifs and stills.

It’s a statement that his lawyer composed. But beyond that? Nothing. It’s a statement. That’s it. Does a careful reading of it give you or anyone else sight of the truth? Nope.

Yeah, this recommendation strikes me as weird. You don't wanna write about the present day, alternate or not, why should you? It seems pretty fundamentally independent to say "Let me write about the other Napoleonic War" and gimmicky or formulaic to have to tack on "and this is what 2012 would have looked like..."
