lazypadawanBOOK EDITOR 1: What can we do to take Star Wars to the next level? I mean, we've published craploads of novels with every dysfunction imaginable. How can we remain on the cutting edge?
BOOK EDITOR 2: Hey, take a look at this:

BOOK EDITOR 1: Whoa! Who is this Tara Gillesbie? Where has this great talent been hiding all of these years?
BOOK EDITOR 2: I don't know but it's clear she can handle licensed property. Nobody has seen such a fresh and original take on the Harry Potter universe and I think with vampires being hot right now, her work is so of-the-moment.
BOOK EDITOR 1: Definitely!
BOOK EDITOR 2: And if you want edge, this girl delivers! Her Potter novel is full of "sex, torture, rape, time travel, guns, goth concerts, ludicrous and confusing nicknames, dramatic entrances, tears of blood, wrist-cutting, homo-/bisexuality, fishnets and clothing descriptions worthy of American Psycho," according to T.V. Tropes.
BOOK EDITOR 1: No freakin' WAY! (Eyes bug out with excitement.)
BOOK EDITOR 2: There's Satanism too.
BOOK EDITOR 1: Be STILL my heart! (Stars fanning herself with a manuscript.)
BOOK EDITOR 2: The characters all do "pot, coke, and crack."
BOOK EDITOR 1: Get me her agent, stat! We need to get her started today!
BOOK EDITOR 2: I'm not sure if she has an agent, but I'll find her one!
BOOK EDITOR 1: And let's give her a $100 grand advance. This is gonna be gold! I can feel it!
