City of Ashes and City of Glass Excerpts

Clockwork Angel Excerpt Sporking

Another CA Excerpt Sporking

Sporked Bits cut from CA

I went to the Infernal Devices website to see if there was an excerpt from the next book in the trilogy posted yet (she had an excerpt from Clockwork Angel up last September, a year before it hit shelves). Alas, there's nothing there yet to sink my titanium spork into, but I did find some deleted scenes from Clockwork Angel. The first one is ( Read more... )

WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS? As glvalentine says, there is no part of this that is not amazing. It has all the best ingredients of 'so horrible it's fabulous!': full-of-their-own-greatness badfic author, horrible grammar, atrocious spelling, and an absolutely mind-melting badfic. The whole hillarious story is here. That page is safe for work, but the pages ( Read more... )

Best-selling author Stephenie Meyer has spoken to Entertainment Rarely this week about her latest opus in literary loquaciousness. Already she has been tearing up the headlines with her four-volume vampire romance saga Twilight. She also put out a couple other books that we didn't actually read, nor can we even remember the titles, but that doesn't ( Read more... )
