Anne Rice writes Vampires no more


Oh, great

Anne Rice has lost his mind

Comment: After writing nearly 26 books of vampires, Mrs. Rice has decided to write about Jesus. Her older books were about bisexual vampires and filled with violent deaths. Now, she’s found God, and we have to suffer through it.

(("I wanted to write only for Jesus Christ," she replied, noting that the current novel is intended as part of a series.))

Good, just keep them to yourself. Can’t writers keep their faith and writing separate?

(("My hope is to live long enough to finish the life of Christ," the 64-year-old author said. "God is interesting again."))

Good for you.

Okay, along with Gibson, she’s lost her mind.

I don't understand the criticism here. You don't have to read her new book. And the description doesn't sound like she's going the "Left Behind" route. Why not a book by a credible writer examing what life might have been like in the period not written about in the Bible, instead of more crap like "The Da Vinci Code" that has absolutely no basis in fact?

Trust me, I’ve not read the Da Vinci Code. But, there comes a point when you can have your faith and write about something completely different. I might have been too harsh in my post, but why not keep your successful style and storylines and find God.

My writing teacher is strong a Christian, yet he writes some of the most violent and sexually charged books you’ll ever read. His characters are everything but Christians. I just feel that you can keep the faith in your heart and continue to write good stories outside your personal briefs.

But there could be another factor in this story we don’t know. Writers that have huge successes in their early careers are then asked to reproduce that style and universe over and over again. After while they get sick of it, want to do something different. I can understand that as well.

But, thanks for your point of view; I need to hear from the other side.

Well, first of all I have no issues with lacing one's faith in with their fiction. One can make it perfectly obvious, or put little tidbits in here and there. But she is an established writer, and she can write about anything she really wants to. If her book bombs, then she will know not to go into that direction. One can go either way, and I do not think there needs to be an absolute rule in writing fiction. Granted I will never purchase the book for the aspect of the content which is false and against my beliefs, but no one is forcing me to read it, so I will not.

Thanks for chiming in as well, Paul.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Uh, this is objectionable attire? http://abcnews.go.com/US/Travel/story?id=3571435&page=1 ((Kyla Ebbert, a blond, shapely 23-year-old San Diego coed who also works shifts at a Hooters restaurant, boarded the flight to Tucson , Ariz. , on a one-day round-trip visit to an Arizona doctor's appointment. She had settled into her seat when a flight attendant confronted her about what was later described by the airline as "revealing attire.")) ((Ebbert said she told the flight attendant she needed to remain on that flight so could make her doctor's appointment and that because she was on a day trip, she had not packed any luggage from which she could take clothes to change.)) If they got upset over this, they should come to U of L and check out the girls and what they’re barely wearing here. Come one people, she’d be sitting most of the time. Are we in forth grade and a hot woman can’t show a little skin? Now I can see them having a problem with her comin...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...
