Happy New Year and all that...

Posted using sms_to_lj...
Yeah, happy new wossname and all that. Everyone else texting so might as well. Hub, Exeter. Quiet but fun, just danced to Ministry and NiN was good.

Edited by a slightly more coherent Mat using the LJ interface, because it's easier...

Laurell K. Hamilton: The new Anne Rice?

Oh dear. Laurell K. Hamilton has, it appears, had her own Anne Rice moment. Getting something straight:

They aren't comfortable books. They are books that push my character and me to the edge and beyond of our comfort zones.

OK, got that, bad things happen.

The characters aren't real to you. They are real to me, and to a lot of other people. I, and a lot of readers, would feel an emotional loss if some of these guys died.

Right. So, about this Comfort Zone thing? ( Further pisstaking and opinion (with updates!) )

She makes one point that I agree with though.

If that's not want you want, then stop reading.

I did. (via John, Nick and James)

Never mind. There's a comic adaptation now. Ah, oh dear. It's worse (via)
