Dear Lord.
Aug. 9th, 2009 09:06 pmI’m reading a gay historical right now which is probably the worst I’ve read. It needs to held up as “how not to do it,” to be honest.
NO NO NO – don’t panic, it’s no-one here, no-one I know. But…GAH. It’s so BAD.
I’ll be reviewing it, if I can stop laughing long enough, soon.
There’s the worst Gary Stu in the universe.
There’s OKHOMO that’s so widespread you wouldn’t believe
There’s infodumping in every SINGLE paragraph. “Oh yes, I remember Oscar Wilde, he went to prison for two years and did hard labour in Reading Gaol, he wrote a poem called The Ballad of Reading Gaol which I read in XX year. I was so glad when Queensberry died in XX year.”
AND SO ON. GAH!!!!!! Just… awful.
And look at these – so pretty! The new versions of Frost Fair, and Lee Rowan’s Ransom and Winds of Change.
Check out The Macaronis or the Speak Its Name Yahoo Group tomorrow as we will be running a week’s worth of promo, give aways interviews and stuff. I’ll remind you tomorrow with links.
