I love it that one of the Letters in response to the article is by Noam Jenkins. Hah!
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Like I need a hole in my head
Damn you, Snacky, you beat me to it. Now I feel like I did when those mean girls didn't elect me Homecoming Queen at the prom ...
See how I am?

Oh, my god, that's incredibly funny, and so dead-on. I started wincing here:
I'm the one with the liberal-arts degree from a good private school, who opens her stories with passages from Yeats and writes about the drag-queen personae of vampires forced to pass as people.

Umm, yeah, pretty much guilty as charged here.

Dear Nestra,
My name is Mercedes and I work for Xlibris, a print-on-demand self-publishing company. If you don't mind, I wanted to take a moment to let you know how we can help you become a publishing success.
My thought process:
"April Fool's Day? Legitimate but clueless? Scam? Scam."

Oh! Dana, I just saw this on someone's LJ the other day. (Ajhalluk's, actually.) I think the determination was that it wasn't quite a scam. But... not promising, in any event.

Not quite a scam in the sense that it's legal, but still way on the eyebrow-raising side.
