Who is this?

mercedes lackey

[(Anonymous)]

.... Uncle Leo???

[(Anonymous)]

Untapped? Obviously, you never heard about her antics in the ball-jointed doll community, though that was a few years back, now.

[(Anonymous)]

Who is this?

Secret makers, please consider that not everyone can match names to faces. Thank you.

[(Anonymous)]

Fantasy writer Mercedes Lackey.

[(Anonymous)]

who's that brown toothed woman?

[(Anonymous)]

Fantasy writer Mercedes Lackey.

[(Anonymous)]

Your mum.

[(Anonymous)]

What did she do besides look crazy in this photo? Could we get some context OP?

[(Anonymous)]

Do you have any reason for feeling this way, anon?

[(Anonymous)]

Has she done anything that hints at crazy-sauce? All I can find recently is that she supposedly backed up an 'anti-PC' petition to the SFWA, which while being backwards and dumb isn't necessarily at crazy-sauce level.

[(Anonymous)]

I know at one point she collected cat whiskers to make brushes for painting ball jointed dolls.

[ibbity]

why tho

[(Anonymous)]

I had a former friend who was, at least at one point, friends with Lackey. Going by what they said...yeah, wouldn't surprise me. She seems like a nice enough person, but probably not a 'deep, untapped well of crazysauce.' Operating with a different system, maybe.

Then again, former friend was a pretty unreliable narrator, so who knows how accurate my mental image of Lackey is.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but she's one of the few pro authors who started off anti-fanfic then decided it was fine (as long as it's not for profit) so I respect her for that.

There's plenty of wank history with her pre-internet Valdemar zine though...

I worry about her. She is pretty much the last of my child idols I feel comfortable reading. After the MZB thing I am honestly terrified of my old bookshelf. I don't want to lose her too, I want some books I read as a kid to still be readable without feeling icky. I know she has dipped into the libertarian rabbit hole, but so far it seems it is not so much supporting their causes, but more supporting the principle of free speech while deploring some of the things said. I'm not sure that is a wise position, but it is better than the alternatives for doing so. Please don't let her turn out to be a monster too, please?

Checklist of authors I can no longer read:
OSC (homophobe)
Arthur C Clarke (moved to Sri Lanka to be closer to his underage house boy)
MZB (child molester and arranger of child molestations)
Piers Anthony (creepy, creepy, creepy)
Tolkien (Racist)
Brian Lumley (Homophobe and constant retconner)
Anne Mccaffrey (homophobe)
Louise Cooper (safe?)
Mercedes Lackey (safe?)

That is not a good list.

[cenobitic_anchorite]

Well, Louise Cooper is dead, so she won't be starting any crap. I loved the Indigo books, so I'm right there with you hoping her memory stays good.

Re: Mercedes Lackey

[(Anonymous)]

um, substantiation re: ACC?

Re: Mercedes Lackey

[blitzwing]

Only on a fandom comm will retconning be up there with child molestation and homophobia.

Re: Mercedes Lackey

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think "racist" is a fair descriptor of Tolkien.

Re: Mercedes Lackey

[(Anonymous)]

I think it might be time to work on your expectations for people.

Image: Mercedes Lackey, with a bird of prey behind her so that it looks like she has wings coming out of her neck.

I suspect she is a deep, untapped well

of crazysauce

[fishnchips]

Eh, I guess on a scale from zero to Anne Rice, she's still pretty moderately in the lower segment.
