speaking of which, did you know

This week or last was some kind of International Delurker Week. Megan asked people for their favorite numbers and colors. I'll ask what's your least favorite number or color? My answers:

9 because I stank at the 9s timestable and everyone insisted it was the easiest
and
puce because the word is ewww and it is actually the color of flea's blood.
Or maybe that means it's my favorite color. Sometimes.

    Least favorite number . . . 4. I dislike even numbers. Why, I don't know. Call me weird.

    Least favorite color? Yellow. Which is really odd, because I once painted my kitchen and dining room a sunny yellow. Maybe that's why I hate it, LOL.

    Least favorite number is 7, because it's all lucky and stuff.

    Least favorite color is probably peach. My grandparents gave me a peach sweater when I was about 12, nothing like a light, pastel tone to make a 150 pound, five foot tall girl look FANTASTIC.

    Ooh, you flushed us out. Darn delurking weeks.

    Least favourite colour would probably be very yellow based greens. Can I be that specific? Least favourite number? Hmmm. 2006?

    Least favorite number is 13. I can't get over the stigma. And my least favorite color is pink. There really is something wrong with pink and pink clothing...or blue eyeshadow...or white shoes unless they are tennis shoes. Gold lamais is horrible too. Ok, I just realized I don't like any colors except black.

    Least favorite number? Why, that's number discrimination! I would never be so crass as to not love all the numbers equally.

    Well, ok, except for maybe pi. (Does that count as a number, or just an enigma?) It always threw me a little when calculating circumferances and such because if we don't know pi down to the last digit, how to we know the calculations are correct? Made the whole exercise seem like a big waste of time.

    As for least favorite color, I guess I'd have to go with orange, despite the fact that it's one of the two colors for my alma mater (which means I'm supposed to adore it, I think).

    A delurking post! What a great idea!

    Least favorite number: like Corn Dog, I'm a tiny bit superstitious about 13. A tiiiiny bit.

    Least favorite color: damn near anything pastel.

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
