Make your own Anita Blake book

In honor of the fact that we own a copy of Incubus Dreams for some reason (doorstop? Flyswatter? Emergency weapon? Target for throwing knives?), here's how to make your own Anita Blake novel (note: this technique only applies to later Anita Blake novels; to create early AB novels, you have to actually write):
1. Tear 100 pages out of any of the first five AB novels.
2. Head to http://www.asstr.org/ and pick 25 different stories at random. Include as many different kinks as you can, including at least one dealing with animals and one dealing with the supernatural.
3. Print all those stories.
4. Take all 25 stories and all 100 pages from the AB books and shuffle them together.
5. Do NOT, under any circumstances, edit a single word. If the porn you picked was well-written, in fact, add some mistakes.
6. Do randomly change a few actions and motivations to reflect your own personal life.
7. In fact, just go ahead and rename the main character "Laurell." or "Mary Sue." Whichever.

Anyway...I was just going to sit here and quietly scroll on down, when I came to this bit of imagery. OWWWWWW!! It must be incredibly painful to shit a book! You have my sympathy, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
