I think Richard will be introduced in the next chapter.

OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. This is what, book 15? We do NOT need a whole fucking chapter taken up explaining "This is my ex fiance who I still think is perfect for me and just can't get over, also he has a huge penis and is wangsty about it, also we are bound together by the vampire marks but act like we hate each other until he takes off his shirt and I can't breathe. But I'm totally over him. Uh-huh."

those pages were already written, just a matter of editing and smoothing the edges...

I can't be the only one who finds this sentence scary.

I think Jon and I might even be recovered enough from the convention to work on the script this afternoon.

That worries me more. Why is her fanboy husband writing the script for her book?!

Just out of curiosity, do any other writers write the script first? It doesn't seem like it would bode well with the creative flow. Of course, knowing LKH, by "work on the script," she means she'll turn on an audio recorder and record her conversation while doing her hubby. Voila! Instant script.


(One evening, LKH is sitting at her desk, headphones on and tapping away at her keyboard. She frowns, presses pause on her walkman, and yells out the door to Jon, "Honey, how do you spell, 'slurp, oh god, oh god, you're so tight?'"

Jon responds, "I don't know. Just write something bawdy there and we'll fix it when we edit.")


But they never did.

You forgot the *SeX0Rs* at the end. LOL!

all right, i have been lurking a bit and have a question - what the fuck is she doing to my edward???
she titled it 'edward at last' and yet it is all about richard.

[dwg.livejournal.com]

Uhh, actually, the whole script thing is because apparently Guilty Pleasures is going to be made into a movie. And Jon is writing the screenplay.

[faeriethistle.livejournal.com]

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
how did he get that job?
there are professionals that do that. they have union cards and everything.
isnt that illegal?

[kellygyrl.livejournal.com]

Duuuuuuuuuude! What!??!?!?!? When? Why? Who? How?!?!? Oh god no not Jon!?!!!!!!!!!!

[delphinapterus.livejournal.com]

In the immortal words of LKH: Two chapters about Edward, and they fit nice and snug. Cool.

So Edward has gone from a novella to a whole book to two chapters? There is something wrong here.

[faeriethistle.livejournal.com]

i want a novella and the thought of edward fitting nice and snug ~squeeeeeee~

there is something very wrong. all the glory has gone to her head and the words, ideas, creativity fell out!

he will end up surprising Anita and me in a good way.

This women is fucking insane.

She is going to butcher Edwards character to freaking PIECES and make him into another one of Anita's penis pals. I know it ;_;

[delphinapterus.livejournal.com]

But not nice and snug in Anita.

It seems like Edward is getting used as a promise to keep us interested. The last couple times it's been Edward will appear, and then just as we are really to jump Edward is suddenly AOL. It bothered me that LKH seems to be using Edward as a tease to keep people interested.

I'd like an Edward novel like OB because then maybe Anita was evolve like she did the last time - granted she did evolve into a succubus, but really what worse could happen now?

[delphinapterus.livejournal.com]

The thought of an emotion, angsting Edward worse than OB-Edward makes me weep. That is not the character that happened in GP, CotD, or KD.

[cicipsychobunny.livejournal.com]

Well, he used to be, but now his complex has naturally been transferred to Micah. It's the whole "I'm hung like a donkey therefore no woman ever wants to be with me!", which in Richard's case is also combined with "I'm dominant in bed and really really insecure about it, because there are NO WOMEN IN THE WORLD who want to have rough sex with a dominant well-hung man! WAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

And yes, I believe she's taken her ideas for the mythical Edward novella and inserted it (Phwoar!) into Danse Macabre.

Jon writing the screenplay??

I just had the terrible image of LKH cast as Anita. D:

Edward, at last
Twenty-nine pages. Even I'm impressed. Admittedly a goodly portion of those pages were already written, just a matter of editing and smoothing the edges since they were lifted from DANSE MACABRE. But this is where they belong, this book. Two chapters about Edward, and they fit nice and snug. Cool. I think Richard will be introduced in the next chapter. I've made some notes, and if they work, he will end up surprising Anita and me in a good way. Cool, again. I think Jon and I might even be recovered enough from the convention to work on the script this afternoon. We'll see after lunch. We did the big work out yesterday, weights, push-ups, sit-ups, cardio, the works. Today is only the small weights day. After yesterday it will seem like a vacation. The pages have printed, time for lunch.
