    What happens if you fuck outside of the appointed day?
    Firing squad? Guillotine? A bomb in your neck goes off?

    I was not expecting a movie with a plot like that to be marketed as a romantic comedy.
    It looks so....silly.
    And I actually really liked Easy A.

    Oh, speaking of rom-com! This'll make you wanna shoot yourself.
    "The Love Hypothesis".
    It started as a Reylo fanfic online, and a literary agent came to the author, and had her change the characters to modern day scientists, and now it's a fucking movie.
    Yeah. Agents are trolling Reylo fanfic boards.
    Don't you wanna die?
    I do.
    I wanna die so hard.
    But, I made some promises to friends I have to follow through on, so I have to keep slogging through this Hell.
    :sigh:

    Yeah. And I still struggle to find an agent.
    "Oh, I don't know who I would market a story about pro wrestlers to."
    :rolleyes:
    I have a very high disdain for literary agents, who have essentially become the slush pile editors of the literary world.

    How would they enforce this? I mean, how would they know that you were knocking boots with someone unless it was in public? :chris:
