I don't think Bobby Crosby is capable of
not wanking. I'm reminded of
this incredible forum thread from a while back, which starts out basically as a discussion of what's more important in writing -- the story or how the story is told. It really takes off when Crosby (posting as "+EV") declares in all seriousness that the Harry Potter series are the best books ever written, and he knows because he's read lots of books and nothing else even comes close, and the fact that they sell more copies than any other book on the planet is incontrovertible proof that they're well-written and has nothing at all to do with marketing, and anyone who says they're not well-written is obviously a complete idiot whose opinion is worthless, but no, he never said that people who didn't like Harry Potter are idiots, stop lying and saying that he did! It... goes on for quite a while.
