Forty going on fourteen. Even her porn isn't that good.

Yikes, not that I'm in it solely for the porn,but everything you've mentioned about the tantrums about her *lifestyle* and how it has bled over into her work just makes me go all cringe-y.

It's kinda like the opposite version of what happened to Anne Rice when she became a believer again and renounced the vampire/witches books--for some time, at least.

Re the second Twilight movie: one of my sisters is a mild fan of the books so, I think I'll just wait around til the movie comes out on dvd (which I know she'll buy). Then, I'll borrow it and snark away along my other sister.

I've read way better fanfic porn. Hell, I've written way better fanfic porn. *toots own horn*

Yes, you have, little lady! *shakes maracas 'cause I have zero musical inclinations* Hee!

After I pay that huge library fine...

Oh, you too, eh? Thankfully, I usually borrow the lesser known books so, I can *usually* renew them online.

I think Teeth is the feminist fear-of-women's-sexuality movie people claimed Ginger Snaps and all its sequels were (but weren't).

*nods* For one thing, I never really *connected* with any of the Ginger Snaps' characters (even though I really wanted to). So I never got the reason for the hype.

As for Teeth, I absolutely loved it even though, like you, I kinda hoped it ended up going somewhere. As a matter of fact, I was with the movie up until the end. The same thing happened about ten years back when I first saw My Own Private Idaho. Still, I loved both movies enough to buy them on dvd and watch either of them every so often.

The Kelley Armstrong books sound intriguing, though.

It's written by a Canadian (and this was YEARS before I even knew of C6D--such is the power of fandom!) and partly set in Canada. Toronto to be exact.

Basically, it's about a woman named Elena who is the only female werewolf in the world. There's a Pack (which includes her ex-lover--who's also the guy who bit her) for whom she hunts the Mutts (rogue werewolves). In the first book, Bitten, she's a journalist with a normal boyfriend (who doesn't know about her wolfy side).

What drew me in was the fact that she's a little more complicated (both by virtue of her background and her werewolf side) and, I don't know, real than what I've encountered. I lent it to my younger sister about three years ago and I remember she liked it too. Right now there are three other books in the series. I haven't read the last two. Yet.
