For those on my flist who may need some cheering up...

...and any who are worried about the quality of their own writing. Take heart! At least you're not this author

Worst piece of prose I have ever seen. Ever.

This is worse than the chicken that was not a chicken. Worse than the venom cock (heyo!). Worse than Laurell K. Hamilton's endless descriptions of Merry Gentry's hair (which I actually kind of like. Shut up).

And I quote:
"Her teeth were her only bracelet; she carried them within the red velvet purse of her lips. Her tongue was amber. Her tongue was a ferret, an anenome, a fox caught in the teeth of a tiger."

It goes on like this for two pages.

Her toes are snails, people! Snails with shells made of tears!

I can't breathe... laughing too hard, oh!
WOW, THAT WAS BAD.

Who gave that the green light to be published? /o\

Also. Marmoset feet? Oh, baby YEAH. That's hot. *_*

Her feet are marmosets and locusts. And her toes are snails.

...Yeah, I fail to see the hotness there either (the author seems to have a weird obsession with animals, given the geese thighs and ferret tongue and anaconda spine and marmoset feet).

Wriggling creatures ≠ sexy fun time. D:
