Hi Shannon
I just came across this post in yahoo search. I am an author with phaze.com . LOL I had to laugh at your observations above! Well Done. I can see her point in some ways, from my personal opinion I don’t like everything I read, but who does? Reading one bad one wouldn’t stop me trying the author again.

I wrote her and said nicely that she shouldn’t be telling our readers what to read. I mean we write and buy erotica because we want the turn on, a great story is all well and good, but that corny poetry stuff blah!:snore:

Check out phaze, we do have some great stories with great sex, but we will leave you to make your own decision :kiss:
love your smileys by the way! I’ll be back

I told my kids about the poetry line and that is going to be our code for “this is incredibly stupid”.

I think I might have handled the whole thing better if her excerpt had been some brilliantly written, moving, clean piece of prose. Something humbling. But *GAG*

To think the woman who wrote that has the gall to criticize others still just makes me :cursin:

I think she just wanted her picture in the dictionary beside stupid:doh:. I read her excerpt as far as ” I am turning into poetry” and now I am turning sick to my stomach.

First thing, how can a tongue twinkle? :shrug: I’ve thought about this since I read that section last night. (Note: I actually stopped reading there.) No amount of spit I’ve been able to produce seems to get my tongue twinkling. Sorry, I digress.:baby: Anyway, I wish her luck with her career. Perhaps someday she’ll read ‘How To Win Friends and Influence People’. :rofl:

Then over the puncture he drew his tongue, slowly and firmly. It was pearly pink and twinkling, like the inside of some exotic crustacean, and left the spot cool.

Zen you must be gloriously drunk now. :neener:

I noticed the flawless orbs too. But :wtf: the writing wasn’t nearly as bad or purple as I was hoping from the snark above. I even liked some of the selection.

Ah, but Poetry…

I am a what you call zee connoisseur of zee bad prose. I drink it in like glorious sweet whine.

I blogged about this too, but I had to come over here and comment with Shan’s smiley faces. That :crazy: author has a giant ego problem. She’s going to have to go :hide: now cos I’m :cursin: big time on my blog, and looks like a few other people are:censor: her too.

:wtf: was she on about?

Thank you. :diva:

*snort* I love Jaci’s diva girl.

Crystal, you’re so totally right! And I hope you’re right about her alienating people, too!

So, Charlie…you’re absolutely sure you don’t have any orbs? None?
