The troubling subject line came from http://girlondemand.blogspot.com/2006/07/opening-paragraphs-of-recent-pods-that.html, wherein the author collected the first line of POD (Print on Demand) books that they read, and immediately closed because they found the lines disturbing, misspelled, or both.

Beware of what you'll read at that link. I warned ya.

I picked up a book at AC, illustrations by dark natasha, writing by somebody with the pseudonym Vicky Foxx...

the *stories* were okay, but the editing was somewhere between awful and nonexistant. It took so much away from writing that otherwise would have been somewhat decent. I wonder if there's any kind of market for editing in our community, especially for folks who are doing self-published/print on demand books. Probably not, sadly. the folks who need it most are least likely to go looking for it.

I keep saying I should set up a booth in some con's Artist's Alley and charge money to edit writing while-you-wait.

They called her Labia. She whored a dark and stormy knight.

I can't help it. I've always had a thing for smelly, sweaty spandex. What could be tastier this time of the morning?

I can almost picture a furry having written this. :)

"They called her Labia...

...and her Labia responded."

*ba-dump!*

Except for the typo, I liked #11 ("Everyday was like Monday for Trudy Goldman...").
