There have to be some appropriately dire consequences for the baddies or I feel cheated -- unless of course that's going to happen in the sequel! But only then can it be missing without me howling in righteous indignation. And, too, if a story gets too dark, especially early on, I'll put it down. I'm just funny like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-5627318663849970582007-02-27T09:56:00.000-05:002007-02-27T09:56:00.000-05:00Woo-hoo!

I read agents and editors wanting 'dark' fantasy and 'dark' whatever, and I just don't get it. We have the War on Terror going on, child abuse, high taxes... There's too much darkness in the world for me as it is. All due respect, but they won't be getting 'dark' anything from me.<BR/><BR/>Remember the scene in Independence Day when the old pilot flew his fighter jet into the alien spaceship and blew it up? I watched that movie in the theater about a dozen times and this after the video was out. The reason is because the audience would stand up and cheer and scream! It was exhilirating. That's the kind of effect I want with my own stories. Can't say I've reached that goal yet, but that's what I'm shooting for. <BR/><BR/>No darkness for me, thanks.Kimber Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982239712083114488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-81031131886002684062007-02-26T22:36:00.000-05:002007-02-26T22:36:00.000-05:00I agreed with everything until the 'Pass judgment'...I agreed with everything until the 'Pass judgment' comment. I don't want a HEA to pass judgement. Real life is REAL enough that sometimes I just need an escape. Preferrably one with a HEA. As for Games of Command, I pre-ordered it last week and it should be here tomorrow!!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.com
