Next movie to livetweet? “Mean Girls,” “Iron Man” or “Moulin Rouge”?

Yes, it’s the most burning issue of our time! Which movie shall we watch together, via the magic of Twitter, on Thursday, August 8? Shall it be “Mean Girls,” the source of approximately 68% of all jokes on Tumblr? “Iron Man,” which will let us talk about Robert Downey Jr. a lot? Or “Moulin Rouge,” which is so hugely over the top that we’ll be coming down from that sugar coma for days? No wrong answers, but one must be chosen. Let me know what you think in comments!

Serial novels

I’m asking as much as a reader as a writer, here: Have any of you guys dipped into the serial-novel format in your reading? As a cliffhanger addict, I admit, I’m very tempted … but I would love to first hear recommendations for romantic YA or New Adult serials you guys have found. (I’m open to other genres too; those are just the first ones that sprang to mind.) How do you find serial novels? What are the pros and cons for you, as a reader? What formats work best for you? And have you ever bought a paper copy of a serialized novel after it was already out?

Yes, this is a post with lots of questions and no answers, but consider these questions from one reader to another!
