Bat Out of Hell: Urban Fantasy Soundtrack?

Something to pass the time, since LoudTwitter is apparently FUBARed.

It occurred to me that the romance subplots of the urban fantasy/paranormal romance fiction I’ve ever heard discussed seem to have already been summarized back in 1977, at the beginning of Meat Loaf’s classic “You Took the Words Right out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night).”

BOY: On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

GIRL: Will he offer me his mouth?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Will he offer me his teeth?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Will he offer me his jaws?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Will he offer me his hunger?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Again, will he offer me his hunger?

BOY: Yes!

GIRL: And will he starve without me?

BOY: Yes!

GIRL: And does he love me?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Yes

BOY: On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

GIRL: Yes

BOY: I bet you to say that to all the boys.

I’ve always said Meat Loaf was a sage, ever since I first heard the truism, “There ain’t no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.”

November Scorecard

The subs period for a few of the mags I like to try closed last month. Now, I need to figure out a whole new set of shells to play the submission shell-game for the stories I’m (not) writing. Luckily, I got a couple of rejections in time to sneak them in on the last day of the month.

Rejections:

I gotta get these numbers up.

  • 10:13 Feeling dizzy and nauseuous for no good reason I can think of… #
  • 15:35 Have been on the couch in and out of consciousness all day. Think the world’s finally stopped spinning, now. #
  • 17:54 Can’t seem to remain upright for more than 10 minutes at a time. Might–MIGHT–just have to accept that nothing’ll get done today… 🙁 #
  • 20:22 Thoroughly disgusted with having been on my back all day. Won’t go to bed until I accomplish one thing, if it kills me. #
