“Is This A Typo Or Are You Being Experimental?”

Another win from McSweeney’s Internet Tendency! This list of “comments written by actual students extracted from workshopped manuscripts at a major university” tickled me in all the right places. If you’re looking to waste a couple of minutes on the internet today, click through.

Some highlights to get you going…

“Is this a typo or are you being experimental?”

“Maybe a little less time should be spent describing the Cheetos in this scene.”

“When this character says things like ‘my sweaty balls,’ he needs to say them more awkwardly.”

“Weren’t these characters hurting each other in the last version of this story? Bring back the violence!”

“Apes, aliens, then dead vampire family = too much Sci-Fi.”

“I love that everybody in this story has the same name, but it was a bit confusing.”

“You probably don’t need about half of what’s written here.”

The whole list is available from the link helpfully supplied below.
