First, thank you so much for all the positive feedback. It was wonderful to hear from so many other poly people - we are not alone! :-) But also loved hearing from so many people who weren't poly, but were still supportive of our choice to have a lifestyle that wasn't theirs. It was refreshing and awesome to see so much good stuff in the comments.

Thank you, also, to all the women who offered to date me, and to the women who wrote things that made my on-line security person delete your posts . . . I'm flattered, but the reason I say, I'm heteroflexible, and not bisexual is that other than Genevieve, our girlfriend, I still don't seem that interested in women. She maybe my one exception. We've been dating her for several years, so sorry, ladies, but I seem to be a one woman, sorta girl.

And for some of the other comments, it's not just the three of us in a closed poly threesome. There are other people in our lives. (Closed poly means however many people are in your poly group 3 to 50, that you can't bring new people in without the group permission, and they usually get veto on lovers, or play partners) I found it very interesting that once I used the word "girlfriend" almost everyone assumed that there were no other men, besides Jon. Particularly interesting since I mentioned Goth boys in the first paragraph.

Also, thanks for asking, but we won't be posting pictures of Genevieve anytime soon. She's a very private person, and I respect that privacy. I got her permission before posting the Goth girl post.

Thank you again for all the positive energy. You guys rock!

Short version:

"Thank you for validating my defensive ploy for attention! See, I AM as desirable as Merita! I have a harem, too!"

I'm just waiting for the post complaining that someone propositioned her inappropriately at a con or a signing, trying to become one of her "play partners."

I hear static in my brain now whenever I read her words. I think my mind had finally given up.

Oh, good grief!

The comma abuse! Those poor, poor commas. What did the common comma ever do to you, LKH?

Also, LKH has leveled up from "the lurkers support me in e-mail" to "the lurkers want to fuck me in deleted posts."

ACK!!! I think this post may have just invalidated most of the comment I made on the 'I've got a girlfriend' post. Yeah, waaay more schtick than substance there LKH.

'She's a very private person, and I respect that privacy.'



Since when does LKH respect other people's privacy? Earlier this year LKH posted pictures of Chica's wedding on her FB page while admitting she had been specifically asked not to put them up so soon, but couldn't wait.

Alright, I may not have been following all of the entries on this topic, since I largely pick them up here, but if she got permission before making the post to wish someone a good day then it sounds incredibly like a set up.

Beyond that, though, LKH's harem must be the most uninspiring and uncreative lovers imaginable based on her output pre-divorce and post-divorce.

Is there a "wank: poly" tag yet?

She had to lighten her hair so we wouldn't confuse her with Anita.
Yeah - that really made it clear for us that she is not self-inserting into her books.

I swear you could pinpoint it when she started taking over the books. The hints of author interference started happening fairly early but it was so minor you could ignore it. By now, it is all about the author and her characters are just gone.

I agree with raven7601 - I don't want to know the author except as the person that provides me with a book. In fact, I take it a bit further. I don't want to know they exist. When they put the book out there and I take it up and fall in love with it - its mine!! It belongs to me now and if an author interferes, it can ruin it for me. I will look at the back jacket photo for a second and am often astonished at how different they are than what I imagined. But that is okay because I really don't care and just want to remember the name so I can look for more books. And if they write a book I don't like, its not personal because I don't know them. I usually just move on.

I don't know what happened here but OMG do I ever regret looking up LKH's blog/forum!! I mean knowing more about the author than I ever wanted to know. I actually enjoy the posting with other people here about the disillusionment of former series entertainment and the dissection of author-gone-wild. I feel mean sometimes and a bit guilty like I am peeking in someone's window, but then the author puts out something like Shutdown and follows up with these poly posts and suddenly I am back in the moral high ground.

Anyway, after reading these past few posts I feel more than ever that Anita and Merry are just dress up dolls of LKH and that is NOT the image I wanted of these characters.
