This is awesome. I was just thinking about this the other day when I was reading one of my *cough* romance novels. They fucked up a sentence somewhere and then I was giggling too hard to even be turned on anymore. Ruined the whole book for me.
I will be whisper-shrieking everything for the rest of the day
whisper-shrieking is the best thing i've heard all day.
This warms my English major soul.
Haha, oh yes, whisper-shrieking!
Also, eww running sweaty vagina.
This was funny thanks
I had to giggle at this LOL
I giggled to myself on all of these up until "word confusion"... my drink almost came out my nose lol
Very good point. I like reading stories on literotica websites and they are amateur and sometimes they are quite humerous with their mistakes and cause me to lose the moment, may not get an orgasm, but at least I get a good laugh?
Glad to know I'm not the only member of the Grammar Police!
I really enjoyed reading this. My husband, the grammar cop, says," see Lori, I told you."
good article
This was a great article. It made me laugh because I've had so many romance novels go bad from all of the above. *whisper-shrieking*
it kills me when the author's of some erotica actually forget the characters' names and change them out of no where! I've seen them switch the from 1st person to 3rd person narrative and have serious tense issues...grrr...thanks for addressing the nonsense, haha
I needed this laugh! Great article.
