Nancy Amazon love and death in the trailer park

NANCY:
Ewok told me to read this one wayyyy back in the beginning of my affair with uber. You wanna do the synopsis, Ewok?

SYNOPSIS:
After being humiliated on the Jerry Springer show by her pregnant sister Lila and her ex-boyfriend Purdy, Gabrielle Hockenberry heads off to the Saddle to drown her sorrows. Fate, alcohol, and a tall, dark and sexy crim-turned-firefighter named Zina conspire to change her life in ways that really have to be read to be believed.

NANCY:
I always wondered what Gabby's last name would be if she ever had one.

EWOK:
Will that synopsis do, Nancy? I'm a little rusty. (Must be all that time in the sweat hut.)

NANCY:
It's fine and dandy!

When this was published it was one of the most original pieces of fanfiction out there, and the sequels have just made it all the better (I'm a big fan of there being four parts to the White Trash trilogy! *g*)

I laughed so hard I thought my stomach was going to pop open with the strain.

EWOK:
Now *there's* an attractive image.

It's hard to be ludicrous and funny, but I reckon Ms Darkbloom manages it. An achievement doubtless attributable to significant consumption of designer pharmaceuticals, naturally. Next thing, she'll be sending the peyote bus out...

NANCY:
I don't think there's any way she wrote this while in a stable frame of mind. Too much Jerry Springer perhaps?

*shakes head* A sad indictment of the state of White Trash America *laugh*

EWOK:
The film version coming soon to a theatre near you. Starring Jool-yet Lewis...

NANCY:
This story is simply insane. Worse, it makes you feel insane for reading it! But it's addictive, once you start you have to keep going...

EWOK:
Such shameless adulation is unbecoming, Nancy. Leave that for the pom pom girls...

NANCY:
So what's that strange keening sound I hear from the sweathut when you're reading Viv Darkbloom, Ewok?

EWOK:
The pom pom girls, of course. You had to ask?

NANCY:
You know what? I think Ms Darkbloom is going to your brain...


rating:
-------------
NANCY:
Rating, Ewok? I'm going for an 8 out of 10 for this one, I think I laughed more the further into the series I got. A legend was born here!

EWOK:
9.25% alcohol. Or thereabouts.
