@EminemsRevenge - can't wait! :)

Dear Jeri,

Good luck on your various projects. I haven't been by in a while, so I read a few of your entries. I used to have a friend whose daughter would pull the heads off her Barbies! Reading about your class tearing clothes off of dolls somehow made me remember all the stories about psychoanalysts having supposed molested kids play with dolls. I was also given memories of Cynthia, who in 3rd grade didn't wear panties, and was quite popular with the little boys.

I don't think I could write a "sequel" to something written by another author, using their characters. I know that "fan fiction" is pretty popular on the internet, but I'm not into that sort of thing. When I was in college, however, I used to write many parody pieces, both whole magazines (like Mad used to do) and stories. I wrote a parody of one of my brother's short stories which was almost as popular amongst our friends and "readers" as his original!
