So Anne Rice went and threw a tantrum on Amazon.com because people didn’t like one of her books. The whole thing is pasted/discussed here. I haven’t read Blood Canticle, so I can’t offer my own opinion, but GEEZ. I’ll be the first to admit, back when I was writing a lot of my own fic, fan- and original, I did a lot of the stupid things young authors usually do, including being a review whore and a generally self-righteous brat. However, if I got a bad review, I LIVED WITH IT. I was disappointed and sometimes pissed, but I don’t recall ever throwing a full-fledged hissyfit and calling the other person unfit to read the Dickensian fruits of my gigantic intellect. This woman has been writing since the 70s. You’d think she would have learned to deal with criticism, no? And she’s also writing the autobiography of Jesus. Funny, I never pictured Jesus as a crazy chick who writes [formerly good] vampire lit. Heh.
Damn dieting… there should be some sort of way to only lose weight where you WANT to. Say, like taking a few inches off my thighs and making my cup size C again. *eyeroll*
