(gakked from Jonquil)

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.

Right, I remember the Anne Rice thing. Too funny! As for the rest, I'll squirrel them away for when I need a little schadenfreude.
