My Savage Sausage

For those who are not familiar with what I'm talking about, Cassie Edwards is a romance novelist who was caught plagiarizing earlier this year. When confronted, she stated that she didn't realize she was supposed to credit her sources. While the absolute wrongness should already be apparent, it's made even worse by the fact that her books are, well, absolutely terrible. Click here for more details, as well as my enduring absolute pain as I read and liveblogged one of her books to see if the plagiarism was as obvious as reports made it sound. (Oh, how it was...)
BTW, as far as legal action goes, as far as I know, the only thing that's happened is that one of her publishers is no longer publishing her books. Somehow, I suspect the people she stole from are too dumbfounded by someone using the text for their serious research articles as post-coital conversation fodder to do anything else.
ON TO THE FUN! I was going to poke at some of them, but it was just too easy. I'll let you do that.
Trust me, you don't want to let your eyes glaze over from too many sausages. Some of the best are near the end.

Well, I don't know about an improvement, but it's sure more honest. Because those books are all about the White Woman's education via the Mighty Wang.

(And man-o-manischewitz, doesn't that last one just cry out to be the title of a filk of the Elton John/Bernie Taupin weeper "Candle in the Wind"?)

Sausage Devotion reminds me what gender characters are the most loved.

(If only I had a Toki Wartooth "I loves sausage festival!" macro handy!)
