I am on the phone RIGHT NOW with someone who is trying to defend LKH's decision to make Micah's penis size a plot-point. Quick! Gimme ammo!

Date: 2007-06-02 09:53 pm (UTC)The only time a penis is a plot-point is in porn. Often satirical porn, no less. In other words, something never meant to be taken seriously, because in a serious context, it is simply absurd.
There is NO defense for LKH trying to make Micah's penis a plot-point. Not if she wishes her books to be taken as anything other than ridiculous, juvenile porn. A plot-point must have an importance, an impact on the world and the characters involved. The size of Micah's penis only impacts how much screaming, nail-tearing sex there will be. It does not solve any real problems, save any lives, change anyone permanently (for better or worse). It is not an evil entity out to destroy a civilization, it is not a world-weary traveler experiencing a more hopeful, bright aspect of life, it is not ANYTHING remotely resembling a plot-point.
And if she tries to claim it is...
God, that urge to slit my wrists is rising again...

Big Penis
The only problem with Micah trying to replace Richard is Richard doesn't "fully" kiss Anita's butt.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-02 10:30 pm (UTC)I know that she'd mentioned (BM, (haha)I think) something about Richard being able to increase/decrease his size at will as a part of the master shifter territory. Since Micah's at least as perfect and pretty and talented as Richard, he should be able to do the same thing, right?
Or is that too inconvenient to the HARDCORE EDGY PORNINATING THAT IS LKH'S MASTERPIECE?

Date: 2007-06-02 10:32 pm (UTC)OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD XD I'd completely forgotten about that! Hahahhahahahahahafd j;kslomqlw,'l
And yes. Yes, he should be able to.

Date: 2007-06-02 10:43 pm (UTC)Like fork his own penis at will. And have full, independent use of each, uh, sub-peen. And be able to manipulate length there, too. It'd look like some creepy Cthulu-like object hanging from his groin, but he'd be full on his way to being a tentacle monster, which fits not only his anime-like styling, but also Laurita's wrathful curse to show all us non-edgy non-thinkers what it means to be edgy and erotic.

Date: 2007-06-02 10:56 pm (UTC)(Of course, maybe Jon will turn to the Dark Side and move on, and she can dispose of Micah and get herself a pretty master shapeshifting were-octopus. He could live in her bathtub, and when it came time to use his services, there'd be enough arms to give her frequent flier-tiered harem something fun. I'm sure JC would be into that at least.
And then Raphael could get butthurt that he's the neglected shifter again, and were-octy would plug him a few times because he forgot he was straight, and it would all be good.
I should totally try to get into the Ivory Tower. If I utilized her tactics and appealed to her Regan-walking-into-the-DNC mentality, I'd be a shoo in.

Date: 2007-06-02 11:12 pm (UTC)That actually did sound like A Laurita plot, or at least on par with the sheer wtf-ness. I believe this requires a brain-bleaching.

Date: 2007-06-02 11:16 pm (UTC)It could even be in the Merry series. What do you want to bet there could be tentacled ocean fairies lurking around in that world?
(Oh, definitely!)
