OH KAREN TRAVISS, NO.
Sep. 15th, 2008 07:21 pmI realise that not many people reading this know an awful lot about the Star Wars expanded universe, though you've probably all gathered by now that I'm a huge SWEU freak. For the uninitiated, this is me complaining about the unbelievably aggressive and unprofessional attitiude of SW author Karen Traviss, in both her fiction and her interaction with the fanbase.
( Here's the backstory: who she is, why she's hard to criticise without getting mobbed. )
( And here's why she's unprofessional. )
I suppose it comes down to the fact I have very little tolerance for being insulted by people who make their living off of me. (Or did. I no longer buy her work).
So anyway - here's what just...pushed me over the edge.
( WHEREIN TRAVISS COMPARES US TO NAZIEZ!11!1! )
I just...I want to find her hilarious.
But at this point I'm just...angry.
