I know it's been said before, but I liked the Anita Blake books so much more when the focus was on her skill at raising the dead, and by that I mean dead people.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

Me too on the liking of No-Sex Anita. Maybe LKH should try to imagine her keeping her legs together for an entire book sometime.
Funniest Anne Rice infotainment: Seems that readers at Amazon have dissed "Blood Canticle," and she has posted a stinging response at her own website complaining that she is offended by the "sheer outrageous stupidity of many things you've said here."
Well, fine. Now I really want to click over there and type something disparaging, but I'll have to stick with "I can't quite remember which books I've read since Queen of the Damned, because I didn't much care for any of them."

Obsidian Wings. And it was damned good, too.

Eek! I'd have to go look. I got this from the newspaper last night.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

IIRC, she originally responded on Amazon, and it was deleted (either by her or by Amazon, I don't know).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
fandom_wank has the whole Rice kerfluffle. Let me look.
WHY did I buy Incubus Dreams? Why?
LKH is doing a booksigning in Cincy tomorrow, and I kind of want to go to just pummel her with a great big mallet of characterization.

Maybe we could have a cage fight between her and Anne Rice.

Here you go: Anne Rice: looney or egotist?

So she reposted the whole thing on her website? Lovely.
I loved Neil Gaiman's response to the entire thing: basically that Anne's response was understandable, and if he ever decided to say that sort of thing in public someone should take his computer away. Very sensible man.
