Because toddlers would riot if their authors tried to pull any of the crap LKH does. This would be my favourite quote:

Cast-iron fembits. Because honestly - the last MG book happened in a span of what, three hours? And she had sex many, many times and suffered no uncomfort. After spending most of the last however many days doing almost nothing but having sex. Including that one scene with the two men. It's not the magic that makes her books unrealistic. And I'd almost kill for actual plot in the next AB. But if she has sex with Edward, I think I just may be able to end my obsession.

Do they really exist? I've been a self-confessed LKH enabler (I even defended Incubus Dreams), but I'm perilously close to done with her. I couldn't finish the latest Merry Gentry, and Anita's only getting one more chance. If she has sex with Edward, I swear I'm done forever. So are there really so many LKH defenders left, or do I just frequent the wrong blogs? *delurks*

You pay retail, putting money in LKH's pocket, which allows her to buy the crack that is fueling the crazy ass fantasies that she is now Anita, and living out her personal fantasies ... Do you not care that you are one of the reasons she sites (her book sales numbers) to show that she is the bestestest writer in the whole world? You are fueling her delusions, Girl, stop it! Bam, if you don't stop, some of us are going to have to do an intervention on you, its too late for LKH, but not for you. At least do what I do, and not PAY for the dang book. I admit it, I still go to the bookstore and skim or snag the book from a friend who is fool enough to buy the book (although she always insists she buys them used). They are entertaining, in a train wreck way , but not Danse, I couldnt skim for more than 3 minutes before I just said no... STEP AWAY FROM THE LEDGE! Bam,
You are an ….enabler….

I remember reading an AR interview in TV Guide where she said that if Lestat showed up at her door,she wouldn't be able to resist him but as far as I know,she's never tried to buy any of her characters Christmas gifts! LKH is a total whiner baby-if she wants to know what having a negative reader on her back is really like,she should go read Stephen King's Misery or better yet,thank her lucky stars that none of them ever broke into her house(which happened in real life to Big Steve!). Oh,and Happy New Year,Bam:) I can’t decide who is crazier,LKH or Anne Rice.
