J-Fed?

[randomsome1.livejournal.com]

What are your thoughts of Jon as being a publishing-world version of Kevin Federline?

He turned up at about the point Laurell started her downward spiral, he's signing copies of the comic's intro story & hanging out at the front of everything when she's speaking or signing, and being associated with her/hitching himself to her coattails got his name on a book.

I doubt we're gonna see him on a Nationwide commercial at any point, but I can't help but look at either case and feel a little bit of deja vu.

(Any other points I missed, too?)

I've always thought this. At first, though, I really didn't think he had much to do with her writing, or writing process, other than being supportive, as you would want your SO to be.

However, the emergence of Jon being basically her muse and her copy editor, coupled with the fact that LKH can't even see the nosedive her characters and popularity have taken...then yeah. He's her J-Fed.

Or would that be J-Ham? :D

J-Ham'd be accurate on multiple levels of scary.

Well all clues about him all seem to lead to suck.

That's so damned accurate it's scary.

It's obvious he's trying to ride her coattails. Given that he's evidently had a lot of influence on LKH's later work (and is apparently trying to hog as much "glory" as possible regarding the comic), he probably thinks he's just as much of a writer as she is.

I'm *so* tempted to talk to my friend at Marvel and see how things went at Comic Con. I bet he's got some interesting stories to tell...

I'l bring you internet cookies and cat macros if you do. :D
