Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Oh, Skye O'Malley. My sister and I tore through those. They were riDICKulous!
We have taglines from those novels, to this day. Not too long ago, we were having sister-dinner-with-drinks at a quiet restaurant once, and I came out with "Conn! Conn! Stuff me till I burst!" and my sister finished the quote(loudly) with "Take me like the stallion takes my mare!"
Into one of those weird quiet moments. And people looked at us. And we both went into hysterics.
Oh, I remember the "take me like your stallion takes his mare!"
How could you forget it?!
Those were Bertrice Small books, right? I think she was the first person I ever read who used terms like "love grotto" unironically.
I met her, too. She was a Kensington author for years and years, and she was charming. She always showed up with her husband, who was this older-than-her, hunched-over man. He was also sweet.
Ahh!!! There are two Vayles I haven't read!!! We hunt!

Huh. Interesting is right.
... I should not look at the Kindle Words thing to see if publishing Addams Family fic would be legit there, should I? Not while I need to work on the 2nd draft of the novel, right?

In re romance: I recently discovered Courtney Milan (thanks to an e-reader!) and enjoyed the Brothers Sinister novels and associated shorter fictions a lot.
Interesting article. (eta: The GRRM article that Scola linked)
