#WritersCoffeeClub Sep. 14: Have you ever read a work of fiction you felt was advertising something?
I worry I *wrote* one. >.>;
In some sense it's a bit rough writing a teen who consumes media because it becomes a question of what it's safe to fill it with. In some cases I keep it vague; in others I use humorous off-brand things; in still others I risk using an existing brand when there's really nothing else like it. But in some sense it's easiest to err on the side of the things I own and can speak for. At whatever point any of that comes out, then sure, I'm shilling my own stuff, but it gives me 50+ years to make it in if it's ever going to happen.
