Synopsis: LKH has jumped the shark personally and is now one with Mercedes Lackey, Spider Robinson, and probably The Attack of the R*ck*ids guy. And she's definitely picking up audience-management advice from Anne Rice.

Dear Laurell Hamilton,

The problem with your books is not the text, it is not the sex, it is not that your readers are all so shocked and horrified.

At least in this reader's case, it is simply that I am bored. You have mis-plotted your stories until they are too complicated for you to manage, and your characters simply fuck. Sure, they fuck in interesting ways, and they emote like a lonely 17 year old boy.

Gone is the wish-fulfillment, gone is the novelty. Gone are the characterizations that advance an interesting story.

You bore me. When people who still read your stories tell me they have become interesting, I'll read them again.
