The first time I heard that name was reading a post two days ago about how she's destined to become the next POTUS because something something history repeats. So that's a hell of an introduction to a famous person.

drescher worried anon

[(Anonymous)]

her credulousness also worried me, and i think i was right about that, but so far it feels like she's really telling it like it is, and i like that a lot! i've read a lot of actor complaints about her before the strike but it seems like most people are appreciating what she's doing since the deadline. hopefully there's no red-scare like thing that impacts SAG anyway.

I'm a bit bummed Gabrielle Carteris doesn't still hold the position, bc she played my favorite 90210 character and the memes would be nice

[(Anonymous)]

I assume she believed she could reason with studio execs. Ha! As if anyone could reason with those soulless monsters. I do wonder what was the thing that broke the camel's back...

Just from the picture alone - that looks like trash.

JFC that poor girl's back.

I haaaaaate this trend so much. And none of the books that are advertised as “for fans of X and Y” have ever matched up to the works of X and Y. I also hate the back of the book being a list of reviews instead of an actual summary or excerpt.

[feotakahari]

I’ve seen posts from writers about how their publishers insisted on “X meets Y” marketing even when they thought it was stupid.

[(Anonymous)]

I get why authors feel like they have to do it, but yeah, hate it too. It's so reductive and unappealing to me.

[(Anonymous)]

I lurked in a writing subreddit for a bit and saw that authors were literally forced to pitch their stories like that to publishers. And it was enough to remind me that I get much more personal satisfaction and direct feedback worrying fanfiction than I would trying to write something a publisher thinks will be the next Twilight or what have you.

[(Anonymous)]

I would read the hell out of the book the second part of the secret describes!

But I also get the secret. What makes me cringe is romance novels that literally have the tropes ("grumpy boss" "second chance romance" "just one bed") in the title or subtitle. And I like romance novels.

I do both as well. Sometimes I can cure a bad case of writer’s block by reading a crappy fic (which does feel a little mean, but I always leave a kudos and try to write a nice comment).
