If you’re on Twitter you know how this works. The “#” indicates a theme that people quote if they want to participate in the discussion.
In this case a literary agent, going by the username of @SlushPileHell started a contest. To enter the contest, you tweet a title using the #badkiddybooks tag. To vote, you re-tweet someone’s entry.
I went there, thinking of entering, but the ones that I read there were just too good and instead I spent my time reading, laughing, and voting. I don’t even know what the prize was.
I asked SlushPileHell if it was okay with him if I posted my own list of favs, so here they are:

older siblings - weirdlucy: Hitchhiking, a Guide for Girls Daddy Never Loved
