Poe: nora? aren't you usually at the romance campfire?
Roberts: yeah but i wanted to bring you a new member
Poe: a new member?
Roberts: yeah meet colleen hoover
Colleen Hoover:
Poe: oh, uh, hi
Roberts: yeah she just wasn't fitting in over there
Roberts: so we thought we'd bring her here
Roberts: we thought she'd just fit in better with you guys
Poe: um
Poe: we usually tell horror stories here
Roberts: yeah
Roberts: yeah i know
Poe: um
Poe: i'm not sure about this
Barker: edgar edgar edgar
Barker: someone who's too deranged for the romance campfire would clearly fit in here
Poe: i don't know about that, clive
Poe: really think about what you're saying
King: c'mon edgar, clive's right
King: let's give her a chance
King: you shouldn't gatekeep
Poe: "you shouldn't gatekeep?"
Poe: who taught you that word?
King: i heard joe use it once with his little friends
King: Joe says it's real hip with the kids now
Poe:
Barker:
King: you can also gaslight and girlboss, you know
Roberts: yeah, come on, edgar, just take her
Roberts: she won't be any trouble at all
Roberts: she's extremely normal
Poe: ok um
Poe: the fact that you had to specify that is kind of making me suspicious
King: now edgar
King: what did i just say about gatekeeping
Mary Shelley: sup fuckers
Barker: mary, edgar was just saying that we shouldn't let a romance writer into the campfire
Poe: i did not say that
Shelley: is that so?
Shelley: you know, i write romance
Poe: yes we know mary, but that's GOTHIC romance
Poe: that's a little bit different
Shelley: is that so?
Poe:
Poe: i
Poe: i don't like you all ganging up on me here
Poe: i'm not the bad guy
King: we've had other romance writers
King: we have VC Andrews
King: besides
King: how bad can this colleen kid be?
King: i mean, look at her
King: she's smiling
Shelley:
Shelley: you know, edgar might have a point
King: look, it's settled
King: we would be happy for colleen to tell a story

Lovecraft:
Barker:

I can't even imagine Nora Roberts and Colleen Hoover at the same campfire - I'd want to dump her too. 🤣🤣 Also, I think Dean might be too young for Colleen's stories 😱

If even Mary is worried...
