The sporkers read it so you don't have to

So the das_sporking comm is taking on the notoriously racist YA novel Save the Pearls chapter by chapter.

I knew it was supposed to be bad (and badly written), but...wow. Just wow. And this was allegedly written to show that Racism Is Bad?

I'm reading it. With the first sentence, I could see why she had to find a vanity publisher. Ye gods, I've read fanfic that would blow this out of the water.

It's probably not going to improve (in style, that is) as it goes along, either. Thankfully, I have honey whiskey to pour into my Dr. Pepper as I slog through this 6th-grade-level tripe. Not to mention that the commentary is fricking hilarious.

However bad you think it's going to be, it's worse. So much worse.

Right, then. This calls for ice cream.

Oh, good! I love when people hate on things that so richly deserve it. A few months back, I was obsessed with hating this thing. I'd consider all that time wasted.

But now I get to re-use my custom-made image!

LOL

I would be seriously surprised if the sporkers had been willing to put money in the author's pocket for that steaming pile of racefail. Can't wait for them to post the sporking of the next chapter.
