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...
|
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.
