Having spent 49 minutes researching romance novels in WalMart with my son, the title was fantastic.
Our Wallieworld has a wonderful habit of stacking these type of titles together, so we snark opportunities abound.

Oh, that is seriously funny.
(*squints* Is that statement grammatically sound? Probably not.)

“like a gloriously prancing unicorn” !?!?!?!
Snort. Giggle. Wheez.
I needed that laugh…

Oh, I love this! I’m glad Tumperkin started another round. *skips around, gaily*

she found the black marker, whose smell was such a solace during her days of drudgery
Thanks for the link!

BWA! I enjoyed chapter 1, but chapter 2 proves that Ann Aguirre is a freaking genius:
Ow, my lungs.

‘Cesar’ just makes me think of dog food, not baby food. XD

Anyone else thinking that Doc Turtle would chortle over this? I don’t know what would be funnier - these fabulous authors’ creativity, or his snark.

Great stuff! When it’s done, the writers should submit the entire thing to the judges of the Bulwer-Lytton contest.

I’m going to have to keep reading, if only to find out why this is an ironic virgin pregnancy title rather than a secret baby one!

Hilarious! Thanks for the link!

Wow, that was hilarious! I can’t wait to read the next section(s). Well played, authors, well played.

Oh dear lord. It hurts. So good. I need a cigarette. (And I haven’t smoked in twenty years!)

Hee! Brilliant!
I have now gone back and read the previous round (“The Unfeasibly Tall Greek Billionaire’s Blackmailed Martyr-Complex Secretary Mistress Bride”), which was absolutely made of win (and also hummus). The link for that one is over on Tumperkin’s blog, where Chapter Three of “Ironically Pregnant” is posted.
So, reading the earlier one, I realized that there were rules for writing—that is, phrases and situations that the authors got extra points for including. Which, by the way, is also awesome. I’ve managed to figure out one for the current round, but I can’t find a copy of the actual rules.
Has anybody located them? Because I think it makes it even funnier to be on the lookout for the phrases.

I don’t think I can stop laughing.
And, in case you hadn’t caught on yet, he has
This is made of win. And now someone says there are more of these? I must read! Thank you for the link!

Um… Where is day 4? They say it’s at Bettie Sharp’s blog, but that hasn’t been updated since October. :(
Carolyn said on 12.19.08 at 01:29 AM • [link]
Day four is up!
Also, JanDrew, you’re right. There were no points this time, but Tumperkin, who created the project, developed the outline and a few “guidelines” of things to pepper in liberally and they are sort of fun to look for:
-Non-English exclamations on the part of Cesar
-The ‘betraying bulge’ in Cesar’s pants
-the phrase ‘What could Chastity do? She had no choice but to…’
-Hyperbolic, earth-shattering, or spiritual orgasms
-Weird baby foods and baby food comparisions
-Being treacly about children

bah! I’m not getting anything at Bettie’s page except the cover. wahhhhhhhh!
single32: actually, I’m single and 34, thanks.

Yay! Betty updated! favorite lines from her section so far:
I laughed so hard my husband even asked what I was reading. I am ridiculously entertained by this.

I can’t get day four!!!!
spam word pool27 (and I’ve tried at least 27 times for that chapter)

Because, of course, the fact that he went after her makes HER a whore. Yes. And that she dare let herself get pregnant off of his un-raincoated penis makes her a gold-digging, filthy whore…
(I know that this is satire, but that doesn’t mean it can’t make me face-palm.)
Mary B. said on 12.19.08 at 08:45 AM • [link]
:( I still don’t get anything for day four but the cover.

Mary B, Akismet won’t let me create a link, but you can go to the top of Bettie’s blog: bettiesharpe.com/blog

Oh! Got it finally! Sooooo worth the headaches! The “claiming the ground with the pole-only not as painful as it sounds” metaphor was soooo full of win and awesome.

After tearing into the package, Chastity was briefly distracted by the bubble wrap.
So awesome. I would totally do that, wedding day or not.

““Well…” she said hesitantly. “It was better than scrubbing floors.”
HEEEEE!
