Hi! I really enjoyed your sporking of Flirt and its accompanying material.
(I hadn't picked up an Anita Blake novel in many years, and, wondering what Hamilton's protagonist was up to, chose Flirt on a whim from the library shelf because it was the shortest available. When I'd finished the book, I immediately googled to see if someone had taken it down well, which brought me to your blog.)
It is amazing that so much of Laurell K. Hamilton's personal wishes and fantasies seem to be on display - and yet this self-evidence appears inversely proportionate to her own self-awareness.
One thing I liked about your series of sporks was that even when the material was most nonsensical, you were looking out for possible good ideas and things done well. Although I don't plan to read any more Anita Blake, so will not enjoy your other sporks as much, I really admire that style of criticism. Thanks for a good read!
