"Yes I meant for Stephanie to come off as dumb as a box of rocks Is that what JE meant to do? Because it is what she's doing right now, at least when I read them.
From what I remember from the website and fan forums, JE isn't comfortable with upping the violence and all that or making Plum darker, but she totally did that, just that she writes around it constantly. Is this a problem of series writers? Do they inevitably end up taking a series some direction that they aren't comfortable with writing and forcing it all over the place to get around this? (*points at LKH and the fear of ghey/ the introduction of the Worst Plot Device Ever aka Ardeur*)
In short if the author didn't want to keep writing both those characters would be dead from stupidity. Sad, but true.
