So he starts getting these killer and amazing submissions from all these super talented writers and patches together one of the greatest stories ever told. Slowly though, after publishing the book and having it because a golden goose type best seller Oprah snortfest deal, his life unravels because one of the submitters goes missing and is later found dead, he was murdered! One by one the people who submitted works all start getting murdered in these bizarre and grotesque ways and the police get involved, and the burnt out writer gets taken in for questioning because all of the evidence is pointing towards him. Finally in a fit of panic, the writer locks himself in his shitty one room apartment and slowly succumbs to the madness that was creeping into his brain the whole damn time, only to reveal that none of the writers ever existed!!! He made up all of the writers and sleep wrote/emailed his own submissions(narcotics could be involved as well, like lots.)!!!! He even wrote all the murder articles too!!! In fact, on the very last page it is revealed that his computer WASN’T EVEN PLUGGED INTO THE INTERWEBZ!!!!! My work here is done, back to pretending to work at work! Cheerio!

I guess the only guideline would be “plausible”, meaning that something that could be written as a diary entry by someone caught in a zombie apocalypse (which incidentally might be the biggest stretch of the word “plausible” in the history of everything). The entry can be funny, as long as it’s not slapsticky in relating events – the diarist’s outlook might be funny or ironic or unhinged or just about anything in between.

The sad thing is for awhile I was a YA librarian, but I hated the majority of YA fic for these reasons you’ve mentioned. Thank you!!!!
