So farewell then, Jeffry Archer, who started the craze for being an utterly brazen, lying, money-grubbing cunt.

Great thread.

Just because a genre isn't one you care about doesn't make it worthless; a lot of people enjoy seeing new takes on old tropes in all kinds of genres - series is the privilege of genre fiction and the whole point of series is the mix of new and familiar.

But have you considered ‘Apocalypse ‘91. The Enemy Strikes Black’?

It is so hard to admit that you have been a victim. People will try to style-out disgusting contact or assaults before they’ll admit to it.
