Although I've actually met L.K.H and slutty isn't really the first word that comes to mind when you see her in person. Nerdy (yet very strict and proper) h.s. English teacher with a habit of taking off her glasses and chewing on the ends while she is thinking about some passage in Shakespeare. I don't know why she took the series in a noise-dive towards sluttsville, but at least she hasn't fucked up the Faerie series yet.

I keep telling you - the only reason why she hasn't fucked up the fairy series yet is because it *started* in slutsville!

cool find on the community though. silly, but cool. i take it they're not completely rabid if they can post poems like that...

Yep...

Totally agree with you, the Merry series started off slutty, and if Anita started out the same way, no one would be bitching now... :D

Re: Yep...

Yes, that's a good point. But there's no Richard in the Merry series either! Of course I doubt a slutty Anita probably would have been attracted to him in the first place.

Re: Yep...

[wickedwhitewolf.livejournal.com]

Very true. Anita wouldn't have been attracted to Richard is she was a whore to begin with. In some ways I really love Richard, and I totally feel for him, but in other ways... Uggghhh... No man should be more high maintainence than me :D

In Hamilton's blog (http://www.eridine.com/blog/) she explained in an old post
that all the characters in her novels represent
various parts of her personality. Richard represents that part of herself which is always
telling her to get a real job and quit wasting her time making stories about werewolves/vampires/monsters. Grow up and be a normal person. Some fans were thinking he might be her ex-husband which she is crucifying over and over again in print, so she was trying to set the record straight. She has a conflicted love-hate relationship with Richard too.

I mean the self-loathing about being a werewolf was okay for half a novel and I could empathize,...but he's such a huge whiny baby now. I just pull out my hair whenever he steps in. And poor JC is relegated to the role of negotiator between the two.

Re: Yep...

I know! I totally agree with you...
Richard was tolerable in the beginning, but the whole self-loathing thing is old now, and I think pretty much everyone agrees. I can't stand that he started screwing anything that moves... I actually had some respect for him in the beginning because he had some morals, but now... He and Anita seem to be in some sort of Slut-a-Thon...

Re: Yep...

[wickedwhitewolf.livejournal.com]

And I also agree about Jean Claude...
He is SO not meant to be a negotiator...
What are they even thinking in trying to have a threesome type relationship? Richard couldn't pull that off in a million years...

Re: Yep...

[gray-ghost.livejournal.com]

The three-some between them is the worst sex ever. It's like a UN meeting between N. Korea and S. Korea with JC trying to act as intermediary. Those scenes are like fingernails on a blackboard!

Re: Yep...

[wickedwhitewolf.livejournal.com]

I know... Threesomes shouldn't be awkward, or you should be having them! Who wants to read about Richard cringing because Jean Claude is getting too close to him during sex...
It's like, enjoy the fact that you're getting some major ass, or get the hell out of the bed!

Re: Yep...

[wickedwhitewolf.livejournal.com]

Errmmm... What I meant to say was "Threesomes shouldn't be awkward or you SHOULDN'T be having them :)

Re: Yep...

[katekat]

yerp. And I kinda love the whole super slut thing, but the whole angst factor occasionally gets more whiny than angsty and drives me nuts. Not that I'm not addicted, but take a little joy in all the hot boys, dammit! Which is why I totally loved Merry from the beginning - you get all the fab sex and major appreciation of beauty, plus great intrigue, and none of the catholic guilt. Not saying that I won't continue to buy Anita novels though. Yes, I am a deeply confused person.

Re: Yep...

[wickedwhitewolf.livejournal.com]

LOL, no, I totally know what you mean! I think I actually started off liking the Anita series much better, because at one time I could relate to Anita... She's strong, independant, outspoken, and she doesn't trust easily... But as time went on, and they focused less on her personality and more on what she likes in bed (although we have that in common too :D) I didn't feel like there was as much of a reason to read... But Merry, like you said... Well, she just is... And there's no remorse. If you're banging like, 12 of the hottest men in town and you're still not happy, you have a serious problem.
