What gets me is how she can be so devotedly attached to such one-dimensional characters. Most of them have NO PERSONALITY to speak of, and yet she holds them all "precious". There's nothing to be emotionally invested in.
And not only are the characters uninteresting, she has now removed any remaining shred of drama, since she openly admits that nothing will be at risk. Oh, characters might be tortured for added wangst, but true jeopardy won't be an issue, because she has "promised" Merita (I love you for that term, dwg!) that by story's end all of her boytoys will be snug in bed with her, and she will never ever have to face true pain or grief, because surely TELLING the audience of all her past woes is enough to gain their sympathy, right? ("My mother/father was tragically killed when I was a child/teenager!" Okay, that was nearly twenty years ago. Sucks to be you, now GET OVER IT and stop wringing that particular plot dry.)
