Michael Kelly
is one of
the best reasons to surf the net this year.
This is why I love
MetaFilter

Roy Orbison in ‘cling film’ fan fiction

"This is the text of a novel I wrote five years ago. It was rejected by 76
publishers and agents, although only four of them actually bothered to read it,
which may partly account for my unbridled hatred of everything living. I have
posted it here in an attempt to move on.

I can’t honestly imagine anyone having the sitzfleisch to wade through a
250-page comic novel by an unknown writer on the internet. In case anyone
does, I would like to take this opportunity to partially disown it." –
