    Dead now, thank you. I can’t imagine printing those monsters. Or reading. The novel that never ends! (Ever.) *shudder*

  5. So wait – if I send you an e-mail in 20-point pink font with an embedded link telling you to click through to find my query letter for my 400K fictional novel AND there are animated gifs of kitties, you’re not going to read it?

  6. *puts the pink paper back into the drawer*
    Signs that the Query War Cycle has taken it’s toll.
    Best agent post eVaR!

  7. Ha! Okay, it’s funny once but if you continue to post like this I will stab myself in the eye.

    Hee hee! This was a lovely way to start my Friday morning!

  10. Okay, I attempted to read that, but gave up within a few lines for it gave me a headache. I couldn’t imagine reading an entire book like that….

  11. You hurt my brain, and I died laughing. You have telent, oh my yes.
    What a way to end the week. Many thanks. 😉

  12. …What about a 400k novel written in LOLcat speak?
    The horror.

  13. *laughs out loud* You are a FREAK. the best kind of freak. Funny funny agent! 🙂

  14. *snork* Well, THAT was unexpected. Well done! I am going to spend the next month now imagining every agent I query as a cat riffling through my pages, and every rejection as DO NOT WANT! 😉

  15. Best Query Wars post ev-ah! 🙂 Thank you for masking the aftershock from the earthquake (here in flipping Illinois!) by making me shake with laughter.
    I actually created a cat macro query a couple of months ago for the amusement of a faction of my test readers who are particularly fond of lolcats. I recently posted it in my blog.

    I Can Has Agent?

  16. Obviously you read too many queries at once; they’ve driven you squirrelly! Or lolcatty…

  17. HA HA HA HA!!!!
    OMG – you have gone query-mad!
    As for “fictional novel” – I’ve seen that a lot in queries, but I’ve also seen people use it on writer’s forums for years. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves. Argh.

    • So…you mean, you don’t want me to send you my fictional novel memoir entitled Mexican Girl Scout in the Bronx? It’s a story about me…my hispanic heritage, and being a Girl Scout in the Boogie-Down. 😛

    • Maybe these folks are marketing imaginary novels– manuscripts they tell their friends they’ve written that don’t actually exist…
      Those would be fictional novels, right?

  18. wow… you got some mad pwnage skilz!

  19. *splorfle*
    Love you madly, my dear.

  20. I have no words. This was awesome.

  21. My fikshinul novel. Let me show you it.
    Heh heh heh. As for ‘fictional novel’ — to be fair, it could be due to the proliferation of fictional memoirs. So by saying ‘fictional novel’ folks are admitting that it is made up and that they are not claiming otherwise.

  22. You are the coolest agent evar. 🙂

  23. What I want to know is how long and painful the process was for you to compose such a riotous post?

  24. Ohai Jennifer!
