Buffy 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?)

She calls herself a professional? That was harsh. I don't really like tie-in novels, and it's really hard to get through the entire book on some of them. Like others, I've read better fan fic. I did really like Pretty Maids, though.

People paid her to write her books. People paid to read them. They should not have to pretend to like her drivel because she's over-sensitive about her work. She threw her stuff out in public. When you get involved in that, you have to know that not everyone is going to like you or what you do. You should also know that when you whine and then slam Buffy fans in return for not liking your book? You appear to be a 13-year-old throwing a temper tantrum because, omg, Tina said this about you your behind your back.

Yes, reviewers on Amazon can be annoying, and yes, editors can be bitches, but a rant like that should not come from the mouth of a supposed professional writer. And heh, if they're only inferior teenage fans who can't even spell or appreciate hard work, why does she care what they think?
