don't make it look so pretty burning
hey, guys, three things:
a) this is GAMER GIRL. it's a book about a gamer girl. it's badness is of a bit of a legend on /v/ and well i stumbled across it on my library the other day and now i have it. i'm going to READ IT, scan in some pages, and take you guys through it. like an LP of a game. except not. an LR of a book? a hideous book. it's like what happened if My Immortal was corrected for spelling, and then published, and instead of insulting Harry Potter it insulted gamers everywhere.
seriously, no, let me type out the book blurb for you guys. word for word. formatting is matched, too. first, the inlay.ZOMG, IT ROX TO BE A GAMER GIRL!
Maddy's life: not so rockin'. Her parents split, she's stuck in a new, small town at a school full of Aberzombies and Haters, she has a crush on someone she really shouldn't like, and she's stuck with the nickname Freak Girl. Sometimes it's enough to retreat into her drawing -- her manga is totally important to her -- but when she gets Fields of Fantasy for her birthday, she knows she's found the one place she can be herself. In the game world, Maddy can transform from regular outcast high school student to Allora, a beautiful Elfin princess with magical powers to take down enemies with a snap of her fingers and a wave of her wand.
As Allora, Maddy's virtual life is perfect, and she even finds a little romance. But a real gamer girl understands that real life comes first -- Maddy can't escape from her IRL problems. She has to find ways to kick back at the Haters, rock her manga, and find the new, real-life friends she knows she deserves.
THEN, the stuff on the actual back cover.I DECIDED to take Allora adventuring by herself. We headed over to the easy section, where the beginner quests were, and started attacking monsters with her firebombs. It didn't take long until I'd gained another level and was able to get some new, tougher armor and a more powerful magic wand. I also got a new spell-- a sort of ice shield thing that would help protect me. Pretty soon I was strong enough to head out of the town's gates and attack those wolves that had kicked my butt the day before.
"Woo hoo!" I cheered as my firebomb blasted them dead. "You go, Allora!"
[SirLeo] Well done, m'lady. I see that the wolves are no longer a trouble to thee.
My heart fluttered with excitement as I read the message sent from Sir Leo. He must have just logged on. Squee!
[Allora] Why, yes, I have been busy learning some powerful new spells to combat the evil wolves that once caused me so much pain.
[SirLeo] I am impressed. Perhaps you would care to join me on a further adventure? There is a small dragon in yonder cave that has been hoarding much treasure. We could slay it and then split the reward.
[Allora] That sounds like a most excellent plan.
GREAT, AIN'T IT.
