Sorry I just can't, old friend. I just found proof that she wrote this in the last four years and not when she was 17 like she tells everyone she did. Or maybe she did write it when she was 17 and this is some sort of twisted almanac of the Amberverse.
She mentions H1N1 in the previous post you made. The world H1N1 Swine Flu epidemic was 2009/2010. The terminology wouldn't have been widely used by the public before it became a public health crisis.
It was very newsworthy at the time.
I wonder if she keeps updating it, because it's such a work of genius that has to be left to posterity. Somehow, that'd be even funnier...
I know the likelihood of this seeing an editor is on the level with her becoming a true skinny legend, but I can dream. This won't end up at the bottom of a slush-pile, it will be recognised as true genius and make its way up the chain until one day the Cheesebeast gets an email:-
"Dear Amby,
Whilst your like novel is most definitely like a shoe-in for the like Booker, I feel we should like perhaps change just a like tiny smidge. Is that like ok with you booboo? Like, a little change moment on some of the like descriptors, and perhaps a like look at the punctuation situation? Only if it's ok with you, like of course. You go, gorl!!!!! "
Like yours sincerely, etc."
I'm sure she sees it going this way, full of praise and admiration and her as the final orfority. Nowhere in our girl's dreams are curt emails saying "it's crap. Do it again" and it'd be just awful if someone told her that's what happens in RealLand.
Or some bitch wrote it on 't farms and she sees it during her secret forays hidden under the blankets in the closet Jade has put her in at night. She's been told not to look at the thread any more and knows Jade's fury will be dire but she just can't stop herself having a tiny peek. The light won''t show under the door, will it? And our gorl feverishly checks the thread, keeping one vigilant eye on the door and her ears alert to the sounds of her beloved shagging some bloke she's shipped in. Amber knows she's safe as long as the bed is squeaking...
