Maybe I should not write vampire novels. Seriously. I mean, first Laurell K. Hamilton starts her journey to the wanky side, and then...
Okay, well, *first* Anne Rice, but oh my god.
I found it on Fandom Wank, but it bears repeating:
Anne Rice writes a book Blood Canitcle, which is yet another Vampire Chronical about Lestate. Now, okay, the last time I read Interview with the Vampire, I, too, was begging for Louis to just shut up and stop whining, but even so, I've only ever tolerated Lestate so I could get to some Armand. Oh, and because they're all totally gay and for some reason, that gayness/bisexuality appealed to my tender teenager heart (I wonder why). But I gave up after Memnoch (which I liked) becuaus The Vampire Armand (hardback, $4.99) was somehow incomprehensible to me. Daniel wasn't in the first few pages, and it lost me.
Anyway, so, we all know that Anne Rice is wanky. She's like a little Sueauthor over on FF.net, waving her tiny little arms around about how she doesn't need a beta, uh, editor and her stories are *perfect* and I'M AN ARTIST, right? And, so long as it's in her own journal or whatever, it's cool, becuase I do it too.
But, *dude*. She told her reviwers that a. they were morons and b. everything they wrote was *slander*.
( Her Rant on Amazon )
( A funny Commentary on it from FW )
I (supposedly) write vampire novels. Someone out there *must* stop me from turning into this. Please. I'm begging you. And feel free to start by kicking my ass over COTW. Don't let me become a BNW (big name writer) whom everyone laughs at. 'K?
