Misfire?

Ok, but just imagine Charlie running into this group

Her experience with the supernatural's been pretty terrifying and here's these people who see it as an excitable awesome thing. Suddenly the world seems less scary and more cool and manageable.

(to make up for the above misfires lol)

I could have submitted this secret. I love Darkover - it was a huge part of my adolescence, and I still think there are some amazing stories there. But I have to agree with you that Ross isn't doing a great job with it. I tried to read some of the newer books, and didn't really succeed :(

Eh, some of them are better than others. But whenever I see someone writing in another person's world, I always consider it only half a step beyond fanfiction (Todd McCaffrey from a secret a few days back is another example) and sometimes it's not the same. She has been doing it for some time now - certainly before the revelations about MZB.

Hastur Lord was not one of the better ones. But I do like Fall of Neskaya.

As for the "taint" of MZB, there was a fairly large circle of writers who saw her as a mentor, and IIRC, a lot of them made excuses for her or tried to muddy the waters when the story of the abuse broke. I would regard anyone who contributed to the Darkover anthologies and the Sword and Sorceress series as tainted until proven otherwise.
