That sort of wry, &#8220;life just sucks so get over it&#8221; kind of voice.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t love comic books and superhero novelizations, you probably won&#8217;t like &#8220;Heroes &amp; Villains.&#8221; Same if you don&#8217;t like slash &#8211; non-descriptive, relationship slash &#8211; but a relationship between two dudes. This book&#8217;s probably not for you.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Ersatz<\/strong><\/span>, by Sol Crafter &#8212;<br \/>\nI admit that perhaps I poured a little too much crack into this fic ^_^; I thought it was absolutely hilarious and I had way too much fun writing it, which may have been a warning sign.<\/p>\n<p>Too much angsty back story and melodramatic teenaged girl dudes for one small book. I still think it&#8217;s cute, but public opinion seems to feel it needs work.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t mind casual pot smoking, dudes playing too many video games, and a couple of slackers deciding they&#8217;re in love, you probably won&#8217;t mind this story. It gets a little wangsty, but I thought that was funny so my frickin&#8217; bad. I&#8217;ll fix it in the remix I&#8217;m going to amend to the original &#8211; so for the price of one story, it will soon be two: crackfic original and serious second attempt.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>From Diamond to Coal<\/strong><\/span>, by Sol Crafter &#8212;<br \/>\nScience fiction super genius story with just a hint of crack for flavor. Because come on, in what universe does any super!genius have that much awesomeness in one lifetime? No way.<\/p>\n<p>Since it&#8217;s not a Marty Stu, it has to be crack, right? But more through the looking glass crack and not full on tentacle porn, so we&#8217;re good. For now.<\/p>\n<p>A step-by-step story building up to the future we caught at the beginning. And we still have to find out what&#8217;s going to happen to William now that he&#8217;s been sucked into the portal.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to have an alternate world story where he runs into a different version of himself, but I think I steered myself away from that. I tried to kill William instead, several times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audio: [powerpress] Look, I&#8217;ll be honest and say that I have a very weird sense of humor.
