WTF?

An 18 year old high school kid has been arrested for writing a zombie story set at a school.  If we had this kind of mentality over here in the 80s I'd probably still be inside for some of the stuff I wrote at that age.

As I recall, my stories involved a surfeit of nuclear weapons, with a spaceship hidden under the hill.

Reading the story, if the cop is right about the law it makes Harry Potter possession a felony.

I think there's a lot of states that would like to make possession of JKs little witterings a felony. As for my writing the one that would have got me done was the one never handed in. That involved among other things a well worked out part on the structural integrity of the ceiling of the art room which was directly below the staff room. I thinik it never got finished because I was having trouble getting the recipie for the explosives right even with the help of a 30s Britannica.

Sounds about right for a frustrated Omega.

At least reading E.E.Smith gives you a more spectacular, and less plausible, alternative weapon of massive destruction.

Now it would be the furry porn.

With the crowbar.

J K Rowling had definitely better steer clear of that state.

As had anyone involved in any way with Buffy.
