Puleeeeaaaaz...LKH discusses her writing with the SciFi Channel here as reported by the Writer's Feed.
Please note her remarks about "not sacrificing characterization for plot." Oh, my.

And well, all things considered, at least the interview was blessedly short. And believe me, I've ranted about Laurell plenty myself. It's just...all become so sad. I've become so bitterly disappointed in this series.
Outlines were meant to bend, or break.
She hasn't broken them, she's shattered them.
At least for me. I will never sacrifice characterization for plot.
But you'll GLADLY sacrafice characterization AND plot for badly written sex-fu plot.
The plot can be reworked; character growth, once screwed up, is almost irretrievable.
Well what do you know, she's right for once. She has irrevocably ruined her characters, and it's only going to get worse from here on out.
*shakes head and sighs* Alas, I lament the fall of this series...fanfiction is the only solace we have left, no?
See you around noah!

Date: 2006-08-24 01:14 am (UTC)You know, it's a shame she can't take over the legal rights of the series, she writes such wonderful fics, and I'm sure she could do wonders with it, lol!
Alas, wishful thinking, no?
And well, as for LKH...I accidentally typed the word "plot" referring to her recent books in my last comment. Ooops. My bad.
And really, I don't know what you'd call her books at this point. I don't think you could even call them erotica.
Oh hell, we'll just call it bad porn and leave it at that.
