Laurell loses it
Apparently there are some people who don't like Laurell K Hamilton's work. That's fine. I don't really have an opinion; I've never been all that fond of detective stories. Nonetheless, I have understand their merits well enough to recommend them to people who will like her books...
I guess some of the people who don't like her books have gotten onto her forum to explain to the world why they don't like her books. This behavior is, of course, bizarre and churlish. It does, however, spark this admission from Ms. Hamilton:
For God's sake, I'll be in the mall and see something, and go, "Oh, it's the perfect gift for (fill in the blank)." I've been in line with the present in my hand, before I go, "Wait, these are make believe people. I can't buy them a Christmas present."
When the line between what's in your head and what has objective reality starts to blur in that fundamental manner, it's time to put the pen down and go have a different sort of life. At least for a while...
