lkh_lashouts | Ah, I love the snarkage!

New to the community (obviously, heh), and just thought I'd say hello. ^_^ It's such a *relief* to come across a community where one can discuss the downward spiral of LKH's writing without fangirl whining (or Netspeak. ::smirk:: ). I've just been sort of cruising the previous posts here, and you guys always discuss valid, *intelligent* issues with the "writing" (yes, I use that term loosely...), it's not *just* a snark-fest aimed at LKH herself.

Although the snarkage *is* absolutely top-notch. It's just...intelligent snarkage. ;)

Anyway, you get my drift, this community is a haven for the disillusioned LKH fan!

I'm Lyss (short for Melissa), and I've been reading LKH since the early days. When I got into the series, I believe Circus of the Damned was the latest book. So, yeah, quite a longtime fan, just like most of you. And, also like the rest of you, I'm currently so disgusted and embittered with the current state of AB that I only continue reading out of some warped, twisted fascination. Sort of that "just how bad *can* it possibly get?!" deal. Maybe she's right, and we're all masochists. ;P Anyway, I *tried* to like the newer stuff. I really, truly did. I even tried to like Micah, and Housebitch!Nathaniel. Honestly, I tried.

Needless to say, no dice. ::smirk:: The disillusionment that began with NIC was plowed all the way through with ID. Wretched, wretched book. I do believe that's the *first* book I ever threw across the room out of pure, bitter disgust. Honestly, was the animal sex *really* necessary? Were 95% of the fucking *sex scenes* really necessary?! Ugh. I won't even get started, you've all been over this before.

Remember when we used to follow LKH willingly down every blind plot corner, because we just *knew* that she'd make it good somehow? Yeah. I miss that. Now we dig in our heels, shrieking and struggling in horror, when she tries to take us to the grocery store. :P Those were the days, kids.

Anyway, good to be here! All of you kick ass, I'm looking forward to contributing to the snarkage. ^_^

Now we dig in our heels, shrieking and struggling in horror, when she tries to take us to the grocery store.

That's because she drags us right past the grocery store, straight into the drugstore, and up to the counter where she loudly asks for several packets of extra large, extra strong condoms, leaving us to cringe with embarrassment beside her.

Welcome. We look forward to your snark. ;)

::bursts out laughing:: So, so true. And then hordes of effeminate, pretty men who are hung like horses burst onto the scene, and...well, we all know what happens next. ::shudders::

And thanks for the welcome! ^_^

...if she used condoms, I might believe that, but as ID explained, all they're good for is an excuse not to douche.

I was just soo disgusted on that....

I mean, sure, it's a lovely dream to not have to use 'em...

But...shoot. We don't need all that Anita sex, anyway. How about ...I dunno...an Anita PLOT instead?

Welcome aboard. We share your pain.

-Dira-

Thanks for the welcome, and your icon is *fabulous*! ::cracks up::

And I would trade 600 pages of pathetic Anita porn for just *twenty* pages of halfway decent Anita plot. Hands down. Especially at this point. -_-

Maybe Anita will give birth to a plot in Danse Macabre.

OMFG, THAT'S why she's pregnant! HAHAHAHA!

Why, of course. How could we not have known that? :P ID was just *full* of squicky revelations, wasn't it? ::smirk::

(So, those Frank icons are yours, eh? They're fucking brilliant! Much love to the sheep. ^_^ )

ID was just *full* of squicky revelations, wasn't it? ::smirk::

Or as I like to say, "Clean up, aisle three!" Sometimes I wonder if LKH knows the meaning of TMI. I'm kinda surprised we're not getting detailed analyses of Anita's bowel movements too.

Yep, I'm responsible for Frank (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=dwg&keyword=Frank&filter=all). A bit hard to believe I've been doing these weekly since about February. o.0

I still say fuck the art on the book covers they need to be sold with a brown paper wrap on them.

mags

I assume that you're referring to the new covers? (Not that the *old* ones were anything spectacular, but at least they didn't look like a cheap, imitation erotica shot. :P )

And they *are* remarkably bad, aren't they? I'm with you on the brown paper wrap...and it should be emblazoned with warnings about the blatant, shameless lack of editing.

Acually I was talking about somhting I thought was all over america and it turns out it was a a west michigan thing. Porn used to have to be sold with a brown paper wrapper on it.

mags

Oh, really? I didn't know that! And Michigan is a neighboring state, even. ^_^;; I stand educated. (And the books really *should* be sold with a brown paper wrap anyway, it'd be an improvement over the supernatural bodice-ripper nonsense. ::grins:: )

*basks in warm shiny glow of lovely compliments*

Welcome to the fold, oh fellow disillusioned one! Sounds like you've got some good snarkage going on yourself -- and we're always happy to see more of that. *eg* Ready... Aim... Rant! ;)

(Bwahaha, much love for your icon! I *adore* Saiyuki!)

And thank you for the welcome! I am ready to rant at will. ;)

Ah, yes -- Sanzo and the gang would make short work of Anita's growing crew of boytoys, don't you think? (Hmm... There should be a fic. *g*)

Can't take credit for the lovely icon though... It came from here: http://panthea.populli.net/ljicons/misc.html ;)

::snickers:: Oh, *hell* yes, there wouldn't even be a contest! And we could even use Housebitch!Nathaniel to creep Gojyo out a bit, I think. ;) Ah, the fic possibilities. ::wicked cackle::

Thanks for the icon link, too, good stuff! ^_^

I'm a bit late but I had to stop to welcome you.

Thank you! ^_^

Ah, I love the snarkage!
