I am reading a book called "Life in the Fat Lane", and in the book there's this girl, Lara, who has the disease called "axell-crowne disease" which makes her gain so much weight.
What I'm wondering is, is this a real disease? It seems fake to me. But an author wouldn't just make up a disease, would they ?

It sounded like there might be another one near the end but I was unable to figure out if there will be one or not.

I have the first two chapters of a story written and I'm looking for a beta and someone to run ideas by. Its not a fanfic, but it is based on a japanese school so i'd prefer someone who knew something about that. Also, in later chapters, there might be shounen-ai and maybe even yaoi so if you don't like that, please don't even bother to flame me because i really don't care what you think. if you don't know what shounen-ai or yaoi is then... awww... you're so cute and innocent. ^^ But anywho, please someone help me! *cries*

I read "Nineteen Eighty Four" by George Orwell.
It is very scary and reads like freaking current events.
I haven't looked at the world the same way since.
I would say it definitely took some of my innocence away.
Really a downer.
Do you think it could be the root of my current nihilistic leanings?
Do you think I can unlearn these unbecoming effects?

I'm thinking along the lines of 1950's; Orwell, "Brave New World", "Fahrenheit 451". Thanks.

Not poetry but like fiction writing where people can drop comments and other writers can read other writers works?

When I was in elementary school, I ordered a book of ghost stories. One of the stories was about two boys meeting and playing together quite often. (I believe one of the boys and his little sister had just moved to the area.) After some time, the family found out that the "playmate" had actually died of lukemia some years earlier.

I think this book also had a list of haunted places divided by state in the back.

Can anyone remember a book like this? It was paperback and ordered through one of the book clubs. HELP!

leader (like Dalai Lama) only politics force acceleration of the machine. Result is Insane leader who it seems has been had, but in the end knows what happened. He talks the conspirator into devising a torture wheel that will resuscitate the victim into infinity, while providing infinite torture. Then he uses this on the conspirator. I read this in an anthology edited by Isaac Asimov, and I believe it was a set of 1930s or 1940s SF. Also appeared in Astounding, early SF magazine. I think the title had some reference to gods or something religious. Theme is definitely Tibetan Buddhist. You would think of Zelazny, but haven't found it among his stories. I've tried search engines and come up with zero. Please help.

i have been writing some short stories, about this supernatural knight, in a futuristic apocolyptic world were swordplay is the major weapon of choice, however many people use firearms (called "firesticks") the knights name is blak sunshine, in this first pamphlet he fights his nemisis who happens to be a evil spirit who infests bodys. he is simply trying to regain his empire that he lost many many years ago. but during the way he changes. the first pamphlet is 8 pages (front and back) the second instalment will be a lot more. anyhow the name of the first instalment is called "Thunderkiss 3069--Bloodlust" the title of the second will be "Thunderkiss 3069 Rage Against the Earth" so far it is just first drafts. (and when it is finished it will be in much better grammar than what i put this question in)

my friend recommended it to me a long time ago, all I remember her telling me about is this one part where two teenagers want to have sex during a picnic, but he dosn't have any condoms so he uses a plastic bag instead. Does This sound familiar to anyone?
