A'shaman Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hahaha, that is absolutely hilarious.

palimpsest. Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 No way. :bowdown: Arguing with a reviewer. It doesn't get much classier than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersir of Hogs Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Wow. Just, wow. Could she throw away months of writing any faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samalander Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Wow. Just, wow. Could she throw away months of writing any faster?Well, I don't know. We are talking about her, after all. Do you think we would have been talking about her otherwise? And you just know there are going to be people who say: "Wow, that sounds so bad, I have to buy it..."

MinDonner Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I dunno. I mean, no-one's really talking about her writing, even in a "lol so bad it's good!" way, they're just talking about this drama queen whose response to a bad review was to throw all toys out of pram. Maybe she'll make more money out of this one book than she otherwise would, but no publisher is going to pick her up after this, even if her writing improves.

SkynJay Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 That was crazy.. But now i want a link to the Anne Rice hissy fit mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Skynjay,Didn't Rice freak out about people saying she needs an editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestripe Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I read about this on a different book forum that I haunt. It is quite funny. I suspect that English is to this author's first language, although she says it is. What a way to be rude to your reviewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Anne Rice rant - the original was on Amazon and is hard to find among the many pages of comments, if it's even still there. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noroldis Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Wow. :shocked: That woman is nuts.Ah, well. At least she's also entertaining. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestripe Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 As for nuts, read her bio on Smashwords. Is she real? It sounds like she's made herself up as one of her heroines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like she's made herself up as one of her heroines.I find it hard to believe she was born in 1954. Given her error-riddled writing and childish temper tantrum, I'd been thinking she couldn't be over 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 That is oddly hilarious and incredibly bizarre. Why would anyone do something like this? She certainly has done herself no favors.Not only that, but her comments support his quibbles. They are riddled with typos and grammatical errors.
