If there's a piece of particularly purple prose that I'm especially attached to, even after people have told me that it's nasty, it's run-on, it's evil -- even if I can see these things for myself, but I still love it (for some bizarre reason known only to the depths of my psyche) -- I should put it in a romance novel that a character puts down in disgust.
