"Chick Lit" Mashup

I feel a little bad for this Harvard* girl:

Publisher Drops Book Deal With 'Opal' Author

As my friend RJ put it, "She's a little ahead of her time." All she really did was a creative chick lit mashup. She took the best parts of a couple books, flipped them, and made them her own, made them something new. From what I understand, she did it with finesse too. According to RJ, authors should be able to "clear samples" and remix old text. I like his idea. She's like the Kanye West of teenage women's literature.

Down with those pesky little copyrights!!

haha :)

Cheers.

*I feel the adboard would love for her to take this same approach on a final paper.
