maderrIt's not that goddamn hard.
Argh I fsking hate 'modern supernatural'. Outside a few exceptions, I wish the genre would curl up and die. I'd say slowly and painfully, but that prolongs my agony.
This story I was dumb enough to read (in my defense, the summary gave no fucking indication it had a modern setting and I didn't think it possible for a "professional" story written under Strunk & White standards to be that goddamn poorly written and just plain GODDAMN STUPID).
So. Now Megan desires to do a 'dragons in modern day' story that doesn't fucking suck to the point I want to tear my eyes out.
*clear figurative worktable of stuff should be doing*
Notes to self: When done being offended, please to be working on Yuletide, superhero story for Jagen's next book (if I may), and start editing LG stories. Also, you need to get packages together to mail. And mail them before this time next year.

Date: 2006-12-04 11:24 pm (UTC)I think we all know the feeling. I stopped reading books with a female main character because for some reason most of them end up being horrible Mary Sues. There are exceptions, of course, but they are still exceptions.
Now my problem is that I like books with a historical setting, and most of these books were written for a female audience. And this female audience apparently needs a female main character to identify with.
