Dear Ms. Lewis,

So sweet, Jessica. Thanks for thinking of me. I read the details and while it’s a fascinating concept, I was hoping submissions could be in a written format since they ARE looking for writers. But nope! They seem to want writers who are also videographers. Oh well. Should brush up on my film-making skills anyway- – maybe take my cell phone in the shower and record myself screaming ala Janet Leigh in Psycho. 😉 Thanks again and hope you’re feeling much better.

E.L. James has nothing on your Fifty Shades! Witty, humorous, and everything else I’d expect from you. Though, I had no idea you were such a femme sophistiquée! <-I do hope that makes sense – I've never taken French, so if I somehow called you a fancy lion, blame google translate. Really though, very well done. I can tell you put a lot of thought into this masterpiece!

Reasons why the minions operating my brain are terrible people:
I was paying so much attention to how clever this was that my funny bone needed a break from thinking, and the word “toilet” took me back to the “Her” parody puns from a while ago.
I’m done thinking today.

I love it! I also was surprised when I posted this and then my “Her” piece came up as a “related” post at the bottom. Then I hit my forehead and said, “oh yeah — it’s the toilet link.” So you’re minions are not such terrible people. But this was a terrific comment. Thank you.
