1. Set it on fire in the driveway. (An obvious one, yes, but a method I’ve used on crappy drafts in the past. I have stopped doing that, but only because the Mustang has a slow gas leak. Wouldn’t that suck?) 2. Fold it into a paper airplane, launch it, then shoot it down with a BB-gun. 3. Shred it and use it to mulch your garden. Give it a few days, then douse those freakin’ too-cheery blossoms with Roundup. 4. Send it to the Feds as proof there is a conspiracy of mean girls out to get you. 5. Finely shred, mix with canned dog food, feed it to a puppy and then kick the puppy. 6. Crinkle it into a tight ball, sprinkle Comet on it and use it to scour under the rim of your toilet bowl. 7. Make a Mad Lib out of it and play with a friend. Instead of “The heroine was stupid, the hero had no motivation, and the author needs to learn craft” you could have “The heroine was smelly, the hero had no elbows, and the author needs to learn the Macarena“. Much better, no? 8. Finely chop and mix with shredded coconut, then dip in chocolate. Send high-fiber faux-Mounds to reviewer with a very polite “Thank you for taking the time to…” note. 9. Place review in paper feeder, sit on copy machine deck and superimpose your ass over her words. (I recommend not trying this at Staples, though. They’re ridiculously uptight about ass prints on the glass.) 10. Send it to Stayfree to use in their rate-of-absorption blotting tests. 11. Fold it into a lovely and graceful Origami swan, and then step on its little head. 12. (TTs start getting hard around #7, and #12’s a bitch, ain’t it?) Umm…Be really original and line your litter box with it? 13. Learn from it. Unless the reviewer has some whacked personal vendetta against you, chances are she didn’t pull those comments out of her ass just to piss you off. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! |

Love the list. Number 4 had me laughing my butt off.
Comment
Madlibs definitely work, especially the no elbows part!
Ciar, I think that strategy can be very useful.
Comment
Oooh, mad libbing must be done! “This author needs to learn the Macarena”. Immortal words. :nod:

Oh dear, reason #3999 why I won’t even read reviews, if I’m ever so lucky to have any.
Comment
These sound like fun things to do.
Comment
1-11 sound much more fun than #13 though.
Comment
They frown upon number 4. TRUST me on this one :groucho:
Comment
I’m kind of sad I’m not a writer and can’t have fun with these ideas.
Awesome TT!

‘5. Finely shred, mix with canned dog food, feed it to a puppy and then kick the puppy.’
Now that’s just cruel
