doyleBuffy tie-in writer gets her raaaage on.
To all the people who think they can do better and are so generous with their criticism, I say go for it. Write your Buffy book and send it to Pocket and see how far you get, with your misspellings and lousy punctuation, and all the twisted, nonsensical sentences that violate every possible rule of grammar.
Damn, I thought Yvonne Navarro wrote Resurrecting Ravana, which I got one and a half chapters into before the redundant, crappy writing made me give up. That would have made this funnier. (She did write Paleo, Tempted Champions, the Willow Files and the Wicked Willow trilogy - anybody who's read them, are they any good?)

on 2004-09-15 05:50 am (UTC)crappymediocre at best, boring, and showed no real understanding of the characters. The Angel novels seem to have a somewhat better quality - though I did find many of those to be boring, badly characterized and weirdly off-canon, there were a few I really liked.Whether to blame deadlines, editors, or writer... against the best fanfic has to offer, the average tie-in novel stands no chance. And what's with the generalization, I know of at least a handful of fanficcers who're pro writers and plenty more who aren't, who could still write Holder, Golden, and & into a corner.
But some of those amazon reviewers *are* annoying.
