LKH at NASFiC - Say It Ain't So

[parafan.livejournal.com]

Apparently LKH is attending the NASFiC in St. Louis this weekend and is scheduled to appear in a number of guest panels over those 4 days (Aug 2-5). The panel subjects she is participating in just screamed for snark comment so I have listed them below in italics. Can’t say I am very good at this but please once you have read them, have at them yourselves. I can’t imagine how many times during these events she will suffer from “open mouth, insert foot”. If anyone here is attending please, please, take notes, it would be fuel for discussion here for months I am sure.

One Trick Pony: Rachel Caine, M.R. Sellars, Michael Flynn, Laurell K. Hamilton, Mark Tiedemann, Elizabeth Moon (M)

Should be called turning tricks with pony’s given her penchant for were sex. And Rachel Caine on the Panel – wow – interesting mix..

Workshop - Crossing the Genres Fantastic: John Dalmas, Linda Donahue, Alexis Glynn Latner, Rick Wilber, Linnea Sinclair, Laurell K. Hamilton

A lesson I am sure on how she invented the cross-genre concept – oh please.

True Grit - Urban Fantasy: Laurell K. Hamilton, Barbara Hambly, M.R. Sellars, Rae Morgan, Richard White, Susan Sinor
The Duke is turning over in his grave and Anita had nothing to do with it. If only there was grit left in her writing, true or not.

Are Vampires Really Socio-pathic Serial Killers?: Susan Baugh, Barbara Hambly, Laurell K. Hamilton, Stephanie Bedwell-Grime, Sara Harvey, Ruth Souther

More like bad-dressing, cliché-spouting, pouting, pussy-whipped caricatures, at least in LKH’s world.

Censorship Takes a Holiday: Laurell K. Hamilton, Linnea Sinclair, Alexis Glynn Latner, Daniel Kimmel, Carolyn Ives Gilman (M), Kelly McCullough

LKH gets to talk about sex. Bad sex. If only censorship applied to bad writing. Sigh.

Modern Myths: Lloyd Kropp, E.E. Knight, Laurell K. Hamilton, Barbara Hambly, Thomas Stratman, Richard White

She is a modern myth in her own mind as well as her belief in the popularity of her recent books.

And Then What?: Barbara Hambly, Laurell K. Hamilton, Sharon Shinn, Rachel Caine, John Hemry, Elizabeth Moon
Boy wouldn’t we like to know, but unfortunately we already guessed – more bad writng and disintegration of once interesting characters Didn’t Sharon used to be in LKH’s writing group?.

The Little Workshop that Could: Janni Lee Simner, Laurell K. Hamilton, Sharon Shinn, Deborah Millitello, Marella Sands

Hmmm, if only we were talking about LKH attending one instead of LKH giving. Oh the errors in ways impressionable minds will learn.

Scare Me to Death: Barbara Hambly, Bradley Sinor, Thomas Stratman, P.C. Hodgell, Laurell K. Hamilton, Carolyn Ives Gilman

Not a chance.

Sleuth Facts - Real P.I. Procedures for Your Plot: Linnea Sinclair, M.R. Sellars, Laurell K. Hamilton

Hmm, how come LKH doesn’t use any then . . . damn forgot . . to use them you would NEED a plot.
