In the previous post's comments, ice_cold_soda and I briefly got our knickers in a twist over the fact that no one seems to write good child!Nobody fic because that premise would be outright terrifying in the right hands and we would read the hell out of that.
Since I had a day off yesterday, I decided to go and see if I could find a fic with that.

It's actually worse than when they just ignore the Disney characters altogether because if they use them and then forget about them it's like "Yay, they used my favourite character from [movie]!" and then they take that away from you because they hate your guts. Kinda. Anyway.

That suggests Twilight Town again (Roxas clearly believed they could go to the beach from Twilight Town, even though DiZ and Riku thought otherwise), but then the circus and the night sky and the... *Sighs, rubs temples.*

I sat down and watched swankivy's video. A little bit of my soul died listening to that. I have no words for the sheer "...wtf? D:" there. I can't seem to find the right words that fully expresses the brain-flatline what-did-I-just-read I'm in right now... so have some Disney instead, which is what my brain seems to default to.


$25 for a single book without shipping costs?! For fuck's sake, I could walk into a bookstore right now and get three good books for the same price! *Headwall.*

I particularly loved the person who said they wrote better fanfics than that. Judging from the Q&A alone, I have to agree. ("We had this big treehouse in our garden in Miami and I had gotten a whole pack of books, ‘Magic Tree House Books.’ The interesting part is that I had my own tree house." NAW GEE. You just said that, you twat!)

Unfortunately, at least where are live, that's pretty much how thicker paperback books cost. Hell, that's why I have yet to buy Song of Ice and Fire. *Runs away*

But I don't mind spending that on good books (like Song of Ice and Fire) but I would never, ever buy this Maradonia series.

I live near a mall, and the cookstores are always trying to out-cheap each other with sales and stuff. I never mentioned the three books would be books I'd like to read or, well, good. XD

Anyway, yeah, I'd spend that money on stuff that's actually good instead of stuff I'd like to read for the sheer "lolwhut?". Unfortunately, it's usually just as expensive. Publishers, why?
