    Clearly my subliminal messages are working on you, Miskate.

    And the smilies, even though everybody and their grandmother stole WTF.

    It makes me ridiculously happy that you've been haunting my blog, Lynn. I do love RL stories but you hanging out makes me all mooshy enough.

    And Shannon's been exercising bizarre powers over me for years and years.

    sadly sappy, Kate

    I can do mooshy. Occasionally. When my cast iron ego armor is out at the cleaners. :)

    Shannon's powers are myriad fathomless. She had me when she told that adorable skunk story. Remember the adorable skunk story?

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.

what I'm talking about above--the letter in RWR

I've cut out bits here and there but the gist is there. I don't want to cut too much because she's a good writer (other than the actual thinking/tolerance part) and it's bad idea to ignore that fact. . . . romance isn't about just any "two people" celebrating "love in its many forms." Organizations such as the Man-Boy Love Association would certainly refer to themselves as celebrating love "two people" (or more) finding love in one of its many forms" . . . while they actively promote pedophilia. Think RWA can't go down that slipper slope? Think again. Under our present definition, we cannot exclude such "love stories" under the category of "romance". We, as a culture, seem to have forgotten how to say "enough is enough," but RWA can--indeed, must--do better than that. . . . And, please, spare us the arguments about "censorship" and "inclusiveness." Preference for "one man,...
