seriousficWell, they do suck, but since I am writing a YA novel with my, uh, sensibilities... they make things surprisingly easy.
Editor: Uh, what's with this part where the gay kid lashes out against his tormentors and tries to make a jock suck his dick? You've managed to make a school shooting more rapey.
Me: First off, it's not a school shooting if he uses psychic powers. Second, at least it's not a sentient baby breaking her mother's spine before a vampire chews her out of the womb and a a werewolf falls in love with her.
Editor: Point. How much money would you like for the movie deal?
Me: Lots.
