So Anne Rice is being a huge asshole and just punished eleven writers in one go, by siccing her fans on a writer who had a story coming out in a romance anthology called Bad Boy Next Door. Some of you may be aware of Jenny Trout if you've needed an outlet for your 50Shades rage and the like, but J. Trout basically said, "Hey writing racist things like a consensual relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings," and because white people are white people and Anne Rice is an asshole and likes to incite her fans to asshole-ery it's getting pulled by the publisher. The book could have gotten published without Jenny's story, but all of the other authors pulled their works in solidarity. I know we all mutually hate the casual racism and sexism that occur both in LKH's works and Anne Rice's. So if you have a moment check out Excessica (warning don't go to their page if you aren't comfortable with nudity as erotica publishers they have a lot of suggestive covers advertised) publishers and send them a strongly worded letter that they are complicit in the defense of racism. Also check out Jenny Trout's website jennytrout(dot)com and if you like romance or erotica try and support some of the writers who are impacted or Jenny Trout herself.

Sorry this is coming off a little PSA-y, but it really infuriates me that once again Ms. You are Interrogating the Text From the Wrong Perspective can flick her hand and punish people (google Pandora papier-mache if you are unaware of the damage she can inflict) without any repercussions. This is the only time I will ever wish I was famous so I could give Anne Rice a taste of her own backlash. Also note the irony of this woman supporting Stop The Goodreads Bullies who are very ironically a bunch of cyberstalking bullies themselves. I hate her. I hate her so much right now that LKH isn't even holding a candle to it in this moment.
