Anne Rice Wank!
My Wank-O-Meter went off reading a post in another community where this received mention. Only this time it's not from the illustrious Holier-Than-The-Almighty Ms. Rice herself, but from one of her fans. It's a wee one, but it might grow.

weirdchickweirdchick finishes reading Blood Canticle, and posts her personal opinion of it to anne_riceanne_rice.

For those of you not in the know, Blood Canticle was just released a few days ago. Most of you probably remember the wanks about spoilerage regarding HP and OotP earlier this year, right?

Well, she says she won't use an LJ-Cut on her post, and says "their crap". Now, to her credit, I will say she doesn't give away the ending, whatever it is. But she still discusses a very recently released novel in full view, and aspects of it, and merely tells people to just scroll on by if they don't want to be spoiled.

Which works about as well as you'd expect.

Aside from the beginnings of "how dare you spoil the book!" wank, there's the mocking of her improper usage of 'their' in her post.

Someone takes exception to people commenting on the misuse of 'their', or being upset about the book being spoiled, and says: "Have an open mind, for the gods' sake, you aren't better than anyone in this community, so quit acting like it."

It's small, but it's still new. More wank may come.

I saw Anne Rice on TV promoting that book. Oh dear, her looks are going... either that or she hasn't realized that gray hair doesn't look good in a Velma Kelly from Chicago style.

Meh. Low-level wank at best.

When's Anne going to post something new? I enjoyed mocking her.

I usually avoid Anne Rice wank, as it is no interest to me. Does the author actually post on the fan boards or something like that?

No, but she does post long, rambling, self-celebratory posts on her website.

Heh,
I actually read the first chapter/prologue thingy
It burns like a fiberglass tampon.
SPOILER(in case anyone's masochistic enough to read the damn thing)

Lestat(read Anne Rice in a blond wig and halloween fangs) whining
about how no one liked the Devil Memmnoch because they can't understand that he
wants to be a good boy now and how even the pope loves him but he's still
so angsty, and the readers suck because they don't get it.
He even screams at us in all caps. I swear all the damn thing needed was a monitor between
us and it would be just like a Mary Sue author whining about bad reviews via her character

Looks like Anne Rice has taken a leaf out of JK Rowlings book.

...how can anyone write this drivel and not crack up laughing?

In the twilight between human and vampire, she breathed deeply and slowly, hungry hybrid, doomed hybrid, her skin plumping exquisitely and the sweetness unfolding in her face as the cheeks formed and her lips filled out, and the flesh around her eyes grew firm, and then the breasts were rising beneath her cotton gown, and a roundness came to her arms, such a delectable roundness, I am such a fiend, and she sighed again, sighed as if ecstatic, looking at me, yeah, right, I'm gorgeous, I know, and now she could endure the Dark Trick.

Gee, Anne, do the run-on sentence thing much? Seriously, this part reads like a High School Jock forgetting his lines in a class period piece play and trying to ad lib it toward the end.

I still think I like this part best:

A witch had me by the blood.

Oh, the pervy twisted comments I could make off this...

But can anyone make sense from this excerpt? I mean, really? It looks like she was hitting Ye Olde Cracke Pipe a bit hard there.

Just when I thought her writing couldn't get any worse. That reads like a cross between a dime-store romance novel and melodramatic, angsty teen poetry. Ow. I feel like I need to rinse out my eyes now. Anyone got some Visine?

Ok, she is incredibly lame, and it sounds like she is purposely trying to cause trouble because she won't just lj-cut the fucking thing. However, what was with that chick correcting her spelling like 4 times? Oh Lord. The only time that should be brought into the argument is if the person is being pedantic in some way, which this chick wasn't (though, to be fair, how could anyone on an Anne Rice board?).

I'm all for good mechanics in posts, but trying to make a person look stupid because she misspelled "explanation" is a tad much. Being able to spell "explanation" isn't some shining achievement, it's third grade. And the way she kept INSISTING: "blah, blah, i and a are way across the keyboard from each other, wah, wah, admit you're stupid." Way wankier than Anti-lj-cut, poor taste girl herself. That is definitely in direct violation of one of our codes. And you can't insult someone for bad grammar and then write a sentence that includes a period OUTSIDE of quotation marks. And see, I would have let that go if she hadn't acted all high and mighty about herself. Jesus Christ.
