The Chicken is Scum!

A tragedy occurred last night as a world-famous author was found dead in his home.

Terry Goodkind was found murdered in his home after the events of a writing workshop earlier that day. Goodkind was generally found to be somewhat eccentric, best known for his literary prowess and fondness for women's boobies.

The members of the workshop, expected to continue for the next two weeks, are being widely regarded with suspicion by townsfolk and police alike.

"I ain't never read nothin' by none of 'em" said local character Tim Roberts. "I dun know what dem writers is doing, but I dun like it."

Goodkind was unavailable for comment on his death. None of the authors could be reached for comment.




Weasling Out!


Certain members of the literary conference have been able to weasel out of the current discussion without comment.

As discussion swirls around the death of Mr. Goodkind, several notable suspects and literary figures have ignored the matter entirely. These authors have received no reprimand for their actions at this time.

Gertrude Stein, renowned crazy lady, managed to avoid current discussion of David Mamet's trail of suspicion, instead preferring to cast aspersions on the mysterious figure known only as "God." When asked about her actions, she replied "The pincushions are growing restless."

Tommy Wiseau, a figure previously unknown to this publication, instead preferred to greet his friend Mark Danielewski with a vote. "Ohhh darrrrling!" he exclaimed to our reporter before floating off.

Other potentially ignorant figures include Rucks, Brian Jacques, Marion Bradley and William Shakespeare himself. It is of note that God's actions are somewhat shady, but no light has come to them just yet.

The conference will commence today with more discussion of suspects, murder, and the proper use of a semicolon. Cummings is not expected to attend discussion of the latter.




Poe Under Suspicion!

A member of the literary conference has been acting in a suspicious manner with regard to his actions early this morning.

Edgar Allen Poe, writer of works such as "The Raven," "Annabel Lee" and "Sleeping with your Cousin is Pretty Cool" has expressed baseless suspicion of several authors since the events of last night.

Poe began by verbally attacking Ms. Jane Austen, citing her blasphemy as "dumbfound[ing]." In response Austen was able to do nothing but sit and fan herself, overwhelmed by this man's accusations.

He continued his irrationality later by expressing distrust of Ms. Stein, owing solely to her mental problems.

Poe is suspected to be a disturbed and deranged individual with a hatred of the disabled and weak. Do not approach in public. The Daily Bugle urges all citizens to VOTE: Edgar Allen Poe with great haste to remove the criminal from the midst of the innocents.

The Daily Bugle would like to remind readers that, with the exception of Special Evening Editions owing to late breaking news, The Bugle publishes once per day.

Ignorance Abundant!

Unknown causes have lead several key authors to abstain from participating in the current conversation in a suspicious manner.

You know how you have those words that you can't spell properly for the life of you? Well, suspicious appears to be mine.

Throughout the course of yesterday's events, many authors chose to deliberately ignore the conversation flowing around them, and to instead follow their own trains of thought. Dr. Seuss, James Joyce, Christopher Marlowe and Bret Easton Ellis all made no comment on the game as it had occurred thus far, leading this paper to suspect foul play in their pasts.

Seuss, notable for his "witty wordplay" and "fun rhymes," found it most enjoyable to ignore excellent posts made by this chronicle (among others) and express suspicion of a writer who was not yet present. However, this is overshadowed by others' transgressions, and is but a minor note.

Both Joyce and Marlowe made no comment on the wagon that had since formed on David Mamet, discussed on page A2. Instead, they posted doggerel and obfuscating words before making no progress on the discovery of the murderer in their midst. "This talk that hast sprung up makes me know not...Who scum could be" said Marlowe, ignoring the discussion that preceded his statement. Joyce, however, appeared to be mightily drunk.

However, Bret Easton Ellis is regarded as most suspicious of the four mentioned herein. Instead of contributing, he chose to skirt the issue and vote for Ms. Jane Austen, a decision regarded by some as rather foolish and pointless. "She's not even that relevant!" exclaimed one author. "There are better ideas!"

There is no word as to how quickly these criminals will be lynched.

The Daily Bugle would like to sincerely apologize to its faithful readers. Our printing presses have been jammed. By squirrels. We hope to have the problem solved within the next 48 hours. Thank you for your patience.

Real life decided to kick my ass the last couple days. Should have time to post tomorrow, but for sure Friday. Muchas apologies, a phrase which here means "blame my professors."
