"Your stupid arrogant assumptions about me and what I am doing are slander. And you have used this site as if it were a public urinal to publish falsehood and lies."

Rice praises herself for the effort she puts into polishing her prose and reveals that she refuses to be edited.

That's some excellent press you got there, Anne. I see that it's unedited, too. You must be quite pleased.

Am I the only one who finds it amusing that Ms. Rice doesn't know the difference between "slander" and "libel"?

Wow. Just wow. And, tangentially:

The site's Canadian version, Amazon.ca, stirred controversy in February when it advertently revealed the real identities of the readers posting reviews, and it emerged that several prominent authors used pen names to post five-star reviews for themselves or their friends.

Wow. More wow. That just strikes me as so fandom...

I'm still not convinced it was AR herself. But if it was...

Read her biography. She's had problems with drugs and alcohol. And Stan croaked last year as well. Maybe she's having a bit of a breakdown?

Imagine waking up with a hangover and realising what you posted last night!!

I had thought that she was in her early fifties. Still, is sad that someone her age (or over 17 for that matter) acts like a teenybooper reported in [info]marysues...

Nah, scratch that.

Is sad for anybody to act that way.

God that has to be humiliating. Seeing something you wrote in a fit of unchecked rage in a newspaper. In another country. If she didn't have an image consultant before, she could really learn a lot from getting one now. If she did, they must be tearing their hair out.

I am terribly amused.

I think Anne Rice going on Amazon and lambasting her critics was undoubtedly a very brave and satisfying thing for her to do, was every bit as sensible as kicking a tar baby, and, if ever I do something like that, please shoot me.

So I found her actual review...

"I'm justifiably proud of being read by intellectual giants and waitresses in trailer parks,in fact, I love it, but who in the world are you?"

.......UH. Her ego never ceases to amaze me. Who the hell are the people reviewing her books? The people that read her books, and therefore the people contributing to her success.

"But I leave it to readers to discover how this complex and intricate novel establishes itself within a unique, if not unrivalled series of book."

Unrivalled. Oh please.

According to Patti Smith, a spokesperson for Amazon.com, it is not unusual for hostilities to break out on the site between readers and authors. "We don't keep track of these things. If Anne Rice chooses to respond, we'll post it, but the site is primarily for customers to have their say," Smith said yesterday.

In other words, "if she's going to be an ass on the Internet let her". Here's to Anne Rice, the model for all 'urple writing fangurls everywhere. *raises her glass of strawberry daquiri* I wonder if she'll go guest at the GAFF board if I leave a link to the thread mentioning her works in there.

Wow. I'm glad I'm not a fan of hers anymore.

Another Amazon customer who identified himself as Justin Raventhorn wrote, "Rice stopped writing in her glory after Tale Of The Body Thief" and that Mona Mayfair, Lestat's new love interest (a crossover from another Rice series), is "annoying, irritating and idiotic."

I thought Mona was with Quinn and Rowan was Lestat's tru luv. I used to love Mona and Rowan before Rice screwed with their personalities in the crossover.

I'm now wondering if my Anne Rice obsessed friend has heard about this yet, and would it be too evil to send her a link to all of this?

Either way, it just keeps getting better. >:D

Also, 63? No wonder her slang usage was so... entertaining.
