Sometimes there'll be a joke written by someone who's been dead for tens, hundreds of years & i'll stop and think about another human reaching through time to make another human laugh, long after they're gone, and it's so beautiful it makes me well up.

Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill
It was absolutely your fault. I was talking about the power of fiction and how, sometimes, the opening line can make or break a book. In your case, it was perfect.

Please don't *ask* HWA members to put your work on the Recommended Reading list. You can let them know it exists, that you appreciate their consideration, where to find it. The page I linked to has details about how to do this. But asking / begging / bargaining for recs is against the rules.
