I know that we discussed this a couple of days ago, Re: the parody of
_Lolita_, based on Lo's viewpoint rather than Humbert's.
I ran across a NY Times article today, discussing the same thing, and as an
*ahem* aspiring writer to other writers in the group, I found it
interesting:

You'll have to register to get in, but it's free and you can even tell them
not to send you junk mail. Trust me, it's worth it.

P.S. I ran across this quote the other day, and wondered if anyone around
here knows its origin:
"I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make
me happy." -J.D. Salinger
I think that if I were a corporation, that would be my mission statement.
