SO I HAVE A NEW STORY UP. KIND OF. THIS CALLS FOR A STORY ON THE STORY, SO PULL UP A ROCK: Twenty two years ago, my husband had a traveling job, five days a week.  I was home with a six year old and a tthree and a half year old, six days a week. I was going slightly insane, cleaning, cooking and trying to break into publishing.
So, of course, I needed a hobby. Something I could do after the kids were in bed.
…  I know. Writing! But this time without the “will they accept me?” pressure.  I decided to go for fanfic, but since I rarely watch TV, I had trouble finding fanfic where I knew the original work.  Until I found various Jane Austen fanfic sites.

Over the next three? four? years I made some friendships that last to this day, and also learned more about writing than I learned in any workshop.  If you’re observant, you see from comments what is hitting, what is going over the readers’ heads, and what makes a big impact.

About three months ago, I realized I could now sell fanfic (this is proof I’m slow. I mean, I read a lot of JA fanfic when stressed, so I should know) and had a couple of stories finished and a few near-finished at a free site.  So I contacted the admin and asked her to remove them from site so I could publish.

Okay, back on:
THIS IS THE FIRST JANE AUSTEN FANFIC I EVER WROTE.  ALSO, I WASN’T ON ANY KIND OF DRUG, AND WASN’T EVEN DRINKING WHEN I WROTE IT.  YES, THIS ASSURANCE IS NECESSARY.What if He Were to Pick Me: A Pride And Prejudice Variation With A Dash of Insanity.

What if Mr. Darcy, trying to avoid the appearance of being lofty and proud, so far mistook himself as to be charmed by Lydia Bennet?
How long could the fair strumpet lady hold his interest? How would Elizabeth Bennet feel about it?
As all the Bennet sisters fall into the strangest of relationships, you’ll fear you lost your mind. But you haven’t. Just grab your sweetie and a whip – in case of unruly pillows – and hire a Bennet coach to Gretna Green. They have the best carriages, and guarantee no one will catch you.
Then hold on to your hat. You’re in for the ride of your life.

IT WON’T BE. IF THEY TRY TO PUSH IT…. IT’S NOT GOING TO GO WELL FOR THEM:  This so-called ‘new normal’ had better not be the permanent ‘normal’.

DO WE HAVE ANY PROOF IT’S INVOLUNTARY?  How is Gov. Cuomo Not Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter?

NO REASON TO QUESTION LOCKDOWN. AT THIS POINT IT IS A CONCLUSIVELY PROVEN BAD IDEA:  COVID19 update, May 27, 2020: Norwegian official report now questions necessity of lockdown; Dr. John Campbell on The Lancet hydroxychloroquine study.

NONE of this is needed. Children don’t seem to either catch the Peking Pox or really pass it on.  So, why are the schools doing this?  Ask yourself that.

FROM FRANK J. FLEMING, THE GENIUS WHO HELPS MAKE THE BABYLON BEE AMERICA’S NEW PAPER OF RECORD:  Superego.

Rico is a psychopath.

That’s why his job as an intergalactic hitman for a massive criminal syndicate suits him so well. He gets to do what he does best: go planet to planet and wreak destruction. He enjoys his work.

But Rico’s latest assignment isn’t what it seems, and after inadvertently thwarting a terror attack, he finds himself playing the good guy. Stuck pretending he’s a cop, he gets paired with some lady detective who is more than a little suspicious of him. To make matters worse, he starts to have new feelings toward her, feelings he’s never felt before. Love, maybe? That’s stupid. What is he supposed to do with that?

And this job isn’t fun, as it soon spirals into secrets, betrayal, and a whole planet out to kill him. Well, it’s a little fun. Still, Rico may have finally found himself in a situation he can’t shoot his way out of.

But that doesn’t mean he won’t try.

DOUGHNUTS!  (FOCUSING LIKE A LASER ON THE ESSENTIAL STUFF):  Astronomers find ancient donut-shaped ‘cosmic ring of fire’.

SEEMS TO ME A CORPORATION, OR REALLY ANY PROVIDER OF ENTERTAINMENT, THAT GOES TO WAR WITH ITS MOST FERVENT FANS IS ON A PATH TO SUICIDE: Fans Can’t “Bully” a Corporation. That’s Nonsense.

It might take a while, but it will get there.

AND THE MEDIA IS BURNING WHAT REMAINS OF ITS CREDIBILITY IN ORDER TO TAKE DOWN ORANGEMANBAD. REMEMBER THAT:  Repressive Democrats and ‘Panic Porn’ Media Enable Trump to Run as the “Freedom President”.

HEY, COLORADO GOP, IF I CAN DISTRACT YOU FOR A MOMENT FROM YOUR CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD, YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ THIS. YES, I KNOW THE MECHANISM TO INSTALL IT WAS DIFFERENT, BUT YOU ALSO KNOW THE VULNERABILITIES OF VOTE BY FRAUD MAIL. CAN WE PLEASE STOP DISENFRANCHISING ME AND OTHERS LIKE ME BY DILUTING OUR VOTES WITH IMAGINARY ONES? THANKS:  Republicans Sue CA Gavin Newsom Over Vote-By-Mail.

WHY DOES ANYONE STILL READ SOMETHING FOR WHICH LINING A BIRD CAGE WOULD REPRESENT A CLEANING?  Upper Echelons Of Military Too White – NY Times.

WHEN THE FEDS RAIN CASH A LITTLE SPILLAGE IS TO BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER I KNOW MANY HOSPITALS ARE ALSO IN DEEP TROUBLE:  Hospitals flush with cash got billions in coronavirus bailouts.

AS WE ARE RELIABLY ASSURED SUCH THINGS NEVER HAPPEN YOU’D THINK THAT WAS BIG NEWS IN A “MAN BITES DOG” MODE:  Sherikia Hawkins, Southfield city clerk, charged with altering ballots in 2018 midterm elections.

Isn’t it funny to see lefties support the government doing things they were afraid churches would do? And by funny I mean vile and despicable to the point of invoking disbelief?
