I...I have no words. Just when you think it can't possibly get worse, it does. It isn't just the books that are some kind of machismo on LSD horror, the author is batshit insane.

Mac AKA depizan and now smurasaki (as my usual handle proved to be taken, I opted for another famous historical woman writer...nowif only my confirmation email would arrive)

and he *was* at a college, so maybe LSD was involved too. (Does LSD make you hallucinate giant flesh-eating birds and houris in diagonal stripes?) But yes, he's batshit and has been *demonstrably* since he was 35.

After everything you've posted, I rather wish John Norman was a hallucination.

Nonetheless, since livejournal has decided I am real, is it all right if I friend you? I like reading good (by several definitions) literary critiques.

although it does back up posts I've seen about the blogosphere on how fiercely sexist and racist that institution remained well after it was at least unfashionable to be quite so public about it.

is it all right if I friend you?

Oh sure, I'm not one for formality myself, or the intricacies of flsting courtesy - and anything I post online unlocked may be linked or quoted by anyone, anywhere. Feel free to keep commenting or lurk as you like, no problem.

Princeton's bad? Will I have to change my Mary-Sue's middle name now?
