Tobin Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I should note that the Harry Potter community has shown me enough of an outpouring of teenage (and other) lust to scar me for a lifetime.I'm sure Cerys can show you the fics.QFT - I have to occassionally fight off bouts of exceedingly morbid curiousity to see what Pokemon-Slash pages hide, :stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowDogJen Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 If you're interested in vampires and urban fantasy, I can heartily recommend the Joe Pitt series by Charlie Huston. Joe is kind of an independent gumshoe/problem solver vampire in a NYC that's been secretly divided into distinct areas of competing vampire organizations. There's some pretty bad ass stuff in there! 5 short books - nice! And finished, too.I think it's darker than Dresden, but the two series remind me of each other.Definitely sparkle-free!edited for clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medieval Housefly Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Basically, I was a kid, and didn't have access to porn. Obviously my Dad was out of the question, so my only reliable source of sexual advice came from my friends. Hence awkward experiences.It was a troubled youth.I'm just going to say thankfully you didn't have access to porn... it's not a good learning utensil.

Ser_not_appearing_yet Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Oh we're all big fans here.In all seriousness though, at least your name doesn't carry any Goodkind references. Then you'd be in trouble.And Dogjen may have been politely trying to kick you off the forum with that. Unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowDogJen Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Ha! No, I wasn't even thinking of your user name, Sparkle Hound! I was referring to *sigh* Edward.He sparkles!Seriously, Joe Pitt you guys, for cool urban adventure vampires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medieval Housefly Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have a long list of books to make my way through but for sure I will add it to my list. I am thinking about reading Fevre Dream by GRRM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grack21 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 No problem. I can recreate prose of that kind, 50 cents a page, including illustrations. My original work goes at $2. Nonsense. It was pure dumb luck. The books came out of her own insecurities and inner fantasies as a confused american housewife. It just happened to fit perfectly with the current tweener population. Meyer didn't/doesn't have a clue.I dont begrudge her her success though.repressed MORMON housewife. :PEdit: Also, Twi---ahem THE SERIES THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED, is about as original as..as...I can;t think of a good pun. It's not original at all. It's bad white wolf fan-fiction with a Mormon coat of paint. To qupte my English teacher "Meyers is the worst thing to happen to American literature in the last 100 years" :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantabile Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If you want to have a hope of breaking 10 pages then you'll need to make some remark about feminism and turn the thread into another Bakker debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liadin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Honestly don't understand why *cough* Meyer's books are constantly being compared to Harry Potter. Okay, both are aimed at teenagers.... both are popular.... both include fantasy elements of some sort. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantabile Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Because both are giant pop culture phenomenons, and no two other series in literature have achieved anything close to their success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, both are aimed at teenagers.... both are popular.... both include fantasy elements of some sort. That's about it.Because they both came out around the same time. Published within a few years and both blew up. It's easy to compare because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantabile Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Goodkind fans don't walk around wearing tons of the series' merchandise in public, whereas I'm subjected to having to gaze upon "Team Jacob" bumperstickers in traffic, and teeny boppers wearing shirts with Edward Cullen's face printed over it when I go into a mall.The Yeard has no chance.

Id rather listen to the Yeard narrate his own books while playing jazz piano then have to read 2 pages of that Meyers bullshit ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
