She's sold tens of millions of books *shrug* Larry Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 05:41:21 AM
She may be popular, but a great writer she is not.

I will never forgive her for inflicting Twilight upon the world. Not even "The Host" is enough to redeem her.

As for Patricia Briggs and the other witchy vampire/werewolf bounty huntress authors can be like a vamp and suck it. xP

And Anita Blake, True Blood, etc are not fantasy. They are romance novels with gratuitous necrophilia. BLAH.

-end rant-

I like Janny Wurts, the female GRRM. I'm still waiting for the Stormed Fortress. -_-


And a few of the urban fantasy writers actually have some talent (by all accounts, this does not include Meyer). Sounds like you're just sticking your head in the ground to rant and not being charitable enough to acknowledge (as publishers have) that the market is shining brightest for the UF/PR writers right now.

This board is severely lacking in discussion of female authors Larry - 12/09/2009 08:11:46 AM 1441 Views
One of my two favorite authors is Melanie Rawn. MightyYT - 12/09/2009 09:16:40 AM 841 Views

I think what you mean is this board is lacking in discussion of lesser-known authors... Legolas - 12/09/2009 10:49:56 AM 925 Views
While part of that is true, part of it really deals with a thought when I glanced through the posts Larry - 12/09/2009 10:55:07 AM 969 Views
