Personally? Any time she spends taking depositions or seeing a lawyer she's not writing or talking to the press. Lawsuit Chick FTW. Even though she'll probably lose. (Yes, I really have that special Coultergeist feeling for Ms. Meyer. And when I first read that article, I thought Meyer was facing a suit like John Fogerty did, for self-plagiarism.) Fogerty ultimately did not get a judgment for that, but I've sort of thought he was pathetic since.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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 joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I read the EW article . yeah, meyer has her irritating qualities , but at least she doesn't claim to love or own the genre. and I am guessing we won't be seeing many more vampires in her books.
LKH -- in her interview, I figured out why her books lost the fun. She isn't afraid of vampires or werewolves -- so after a while , it gets boring - so everyone has lots of sex.
and P. C Cast ( I haven't read her books yet) is one of us. Her favorite vampire - Spike.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
That's a pathetic attempt to get people to buy a book "Read it and find the plagiarism!"It's pretty clear that Meyer did NO reading about vampires before writing about them. At all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Meyers sued for plagiarism
You mean there's someone else who is willing to take credit for that crap?
ION, there's a long article about Laura and Rose Wilder in this week's New Yorker: [link]

Sadly, that was my first thought as well.

Et tu, Nordstrom? [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Doesn't it sound like Nordstrom is trying to talk themselves into it?
We all are crazy about The Twilight Saga movie.
It’s so romantic, casts hot actors and now we can buy not only make up tips but the Twilight Line!
It’s so great!
"It's so great!" is my new favorite advertising copy. It's up there with Kermit's "Soap: It gets you clean."

You want a Twilight make up tip? Here: If you're wearing white face makeup in a vampire movie (or anywhere, really), BLEND IT PAST YOUR JAWLINE. YOU ARE NOT A MIME. ALSO APPLY IT TO YOUR GODDAMN EARS.
(I am not commenting about Twilight-themed clothing, other than to gently snark that I see that Nordstrom now takes their fashion cues from Hot Topic. That's so ... very.)

Or dark makeup...say, if you are Adam Ant and wearing a midriff-baring top, and everyone's wondering if you are wearing a white t-shirt underneath because those abs are not even the same race as your face.
