    Okay. It's obvious from reading this thread that the writer's strike has just gone too far.

    Did we really need part 3,458 of "I know you are, but what am I?" featuring the dulcet tones of Garamet and Tamar, with the usual suspects on back up vocals.

    Look, I'll buy the giant vat of lime Jello so you two can just settle this once and for all (as long as I get both general audience and adult video rights), because I think a lot of people know how that would end up.;)

    This thread ain't even worth a cup of used lesbian jello.

    Now, can we all just get back to making fun of Apostle?

    Well let's take a look at how the "Vampire Lady" is described in poor garamet's tale of deceit and treachery:

    Now, who's the most famous female author who has written about vampires?

    Anne Rice. Lestat anyone?

    Vampire Lady is also described as "unsettling," something that most every account of Anne Rice concurs with.

    Garamet clearly leads readers down this interpretive path, then conveniently claims that she can't reveal the true name because she was once sworn to secrery in a phone call. Who knows, and who cares? She trashes this woman for not having the "courtesy" to get on the phone and beg her forgiveness for daring to have the audacity to rewrite Probe, and then turns around and admits that according to the terms of her contract, she didn't have the right to tell the publisher that someone couldn't rewrite it.

    Regardless, this is classic garamet. She ignores everything else that was argued and written in the other thread, and cherry-picks a meaningless tidbit to play up in order to discredit the person who's challenging her. Does it matter whether it was Anne Rice (an author more vastly successful and popular than poor garamet could ever dream of being), or some other C-tier fantasy scribe? No, not a whit.

    What does matter is that garamet has continued to cash royalty checks off the sales of Probe, a work she whines incessently is only 7% hers. Yet somehow she apparently feels she's entitled to 100% of the profits. Predictably, she refuses to offer an explanation or defense of this most inequitable arrangement. Gene DeWeese is the real victim of her little self-constructed tragedy, paid only $10,000 to rewrite the book, then sitting and watching poor Margaret whine about how her name wasn't taken off the book. If artistic integrity was that important to poor Margeret, how come she didn't follow the Alan Moore example and donate the royalty checks to charity, or better yet, to DeWeese himself?

    C'mon Margeret, let's have an explanation. I'm calling you out, you withered old bitch. You can either hide behind your little boycott of my posts, or you can defend yourself. Because I'm calling you an unethical, unscrupulous hag who's no better than the people you've been trashing for the past 15 years.

    Assuming it was the most famous female author of vampire fiction is kind of silly though. :unsure:

    Think "The Diaries of the Family Dracul" not "The Vampire LeStat. "

    If it's Flashlight, it must be silly. Obviously he thinks there's only one woman in the universe who writes vampire fiction. Or he just saw one of Rice's books on his Mommy's bookshelf and thought "Wow, this'll make me look smart!"

    BTW, just had a bone scan, and it was well above norm for my age cohort. :P

    Where, praytell, does one find lesbian jello? My local supermarket doesn't sell that flavor, and we all know there's no way they'd stock that at the Sam's Club.....

    Without any reference to whatever is going on, and just having opened this thread out of a sick fascination with multi-pagers lacking content, I'll do a drive-by post and say that yes, there is a difference between adversaries, who oppose one another within a joint system, and enemies, who propagate different systems. Republicans and Democrats are adversaries, but they're not the enemy. Switzerland is.

    Hmmm. I'm not sure I entirely agree.

    I think that the idea encompassed by your usage of "adversary" is better served by the word "rival".

    I take "adversary" as being almost indistinguishable in meaning from "enemy".
