Hush, Hush: The Story Behind The Story
ZeldaQueen: So. We've trekked through the story itself, the acknowledgements, the jacket summary, and now it's time for the last bit of fail - Fitzpatrick's account of how she hatched this stinker of a fail tale. We all ready?

I just read this whole sporking in one go, and I am appalled. Simply appalled. I made this face -- D: -- many times. I stumbled around the room, knocking things over. I punched out my own eyes with brooch pins.
This book is bad. I mean... BADDDD. This stupid pointless girl and this "I can't put enough quotes around the word 'angel' so I won't try" are HORRIBLE. I thought Twilight was bad. Twilight is a four-time Newbery Award-winning series compared to this. Words fail me.
On the one hand, I read this and think that if something like this can get published, surely anything I write will be considered.
On the other hand, I wonder how deluded a person could be to look at this and think it was... like... good writing, and if it is possible to be so blind.
And if only Stupid Girl and Stupid Face had not ended up together at the end -- if he had, say, died instead -- I would have thought the story was actually pretty interesting; a complete bastard of an angel beating this poor girl into submission, physically and mentally, and then... she grows a spine and gets out of it at the end? That would have been maybe all right. That may have been decent.
Ugh. Sorry. I just had to vent. Funny, though -- I lol'd several times. Just... not enough to ease all the pain.
