Get over yourself, bitch. Not Dana, obviously. I keep thinking I want to read the early parts of this series but if they are any good, it's just gonna piss me off. Not only is that rude, it's bad marketing for Christ's sake!

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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Also, no one out there suggested it might be a good idea for her to run her posts through a spell check? No one?

Makes me want to turn Ophelia,but I doubt her mind was ever noble to start with. Of course maybe I say that as rookie author with my nose pressed to the glass, but right now I think I would love to have a. a sex life for my fans to speculate about and 2. Fans to speculate.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Huh. I'm partway through Incubus Dreams, and liking it better than the last couple of books, but still. There's probably 1% that'll say the best author in the world is a hack and LHK is not the best author in the world. If she's gonna open her door to all comers, she's gonna have to expect that not all of them will be worshipful devotees.

If I only had a brain...
Did you, of the vocal minority, notice a trend in these books? Richard was almost non-existent in CS, and I had to fight with my subconscious to get him into ID. And the sexual content? Is it going up or down? I think up, definitely up.
So it is MY FAULT that she's writing worse and worse and worse. (It isn't the sex, Laurell, it's the boring sex.)

As Dana noted, she can't spell her own stupid metaphysical concept, the arduer .

And I have to wonder if the painful speculation isn't something to be expected, like "She has a husband. Wonder how he feels about AB always being in a guy sandwich." I mean is it so crazy, in that instance to wonder if that's what she likes in real life?ETA: And of course, I write mysteries...probably in most of 'em somebody will die. That doesn't mean I'm a killer...but if I write about the deaths in certain terms...eroticized them or something, that would say something about me.

Obviously. There was also a "lurkers support me in e-mail!" moment when she said that the vast majority of her fans liked the increased amounts of sex.
