1. genprompt_bingo is open for sign-ups for its latest round! (I have a bingo to post from my last card, so I think I shall get a new one! soon! \o/)

2. allbingo is having a Gothic Bingo for April, which I haven't looked at properly yet, but I feel I should. I mean, I haven't done the flowers one yet, but it's not as if anyone minds at allbingo and I am making progress.

3. unconventionalcourtship is back! And this time it's 10, can you believe it? Anyway, snag yourself an improbable romance novel summary and then commit fic crimes with it. What more could anyone ask of a fest?

3b. Never forget you can ask the UC Generator for ideas. It may not help but it will make life seem brighter, and is exactly what those summaries deserve, really.

4. Not quite on the same lines as the above, but you know how sometimes you're looking at the books on the supermarket's charity bookstall and then you see one so terrible you have to pay 50p and bring it home with you to examine more carefully and also show your internet friends exactly what a terrible thing you have just acquired?



It promises to be just as terrible as it looks, but I think I will have to at least skim it sometime to check.

There are several other Monster!Austen books but no Zombey and Son. Dickens Erasure!

BTW you could have just snapped a picture of the cover and saved your 50p plus however long it takes to read and throw it against the wall.

Zombey and Son is definitely a lost opportunity! You should get in there.

I could just have taken a picture of it if a) I had had my phone with me (I did not) and b) I was happy taking random photos of things in the supermarket (I'm not) and also c) I was not so curious that I wanted to skim the thing just for the lols myself. Otherwise a damn' fine plan, of course! ;-p

I took a photo of a random thing (well, a romance novel) in the supermarket yesterday. By now it's in the generator and spreading its malign influence...

675) The Marriage Market by Leigh Michaels

A wedding assignment?

Leela loves running her own business, and finding a husband is far from the top of her agenda. But her friends are convinced they've found the perfect way to meet eligible men - too busy with their careers to play the dating game, they decide to throw a party and each invite two gorgeous, unattached males.

Flashheart is surprised to be on the guest list, but not as stunned as Leela when she comes face-to-face with her biggest business rival — who happens to be far too arrogantly sexy for her peace of mind. Only, Flashheart seems convinced he can solve all Leela's "problems," professional and personal, with one proposition!

From career woman... to corporate wife!

Solving any lady's problems with one proposition -- yes, that's Flashheart.

Ah, a trilogy! XD

And, lol, that is definitely a combination, that is...
