The reason Rice doesn't care about subpar books is because she doesn't read them plus shitty books don't compete with hers. Indies are dense to think she cares about them or knows about the industry. She's old school and wants to return to a time before the Internet gave us peons power.

Oh, F&G removed their "farewell" message again. Miranda and I planned to stop posting the ATA/WIN private conversations after Friday. We figured Melissa learned her lesson and had grown an itty bitty brain. Instead, we'll have to work up a second week of posts. Her friends should send Melissa a thank you basket.
I still would not be at all surprised to find that Anne Rice is bankrolling the site.
She loves the attention and you know how the grubs lay it on when it suits them.

It is not just you. It is exhausting glimpsing the alternate reality these writers inhabit.

There have been far too many of them this week.
Of course, Rice lets the new sock puppet call us sociopaths.
No need to ask what happened to gravitas.
;)
I broke down and looked at the Rice thread. It was funny watching Rice dismiss Melissa's whine. Loved that part.

I also think I figured out who "Grace" is. Let's just say, "back away, use lots of sanitizer, and don't make eye contact with him."

Melissa is back. First, she's super excited AR knows she exists. Let's give her that since she's lost so many friends lately.

"What is weird is that she doesn't seem to have a problem with indie authors putting out sub-par products. It's always the readers that are wrong in her eyes."

Someone asked AR (on the thread on Amazon) why she hadn't reviewed any indie author books, since she supposedly supports them so much. I'm sure no one will be surprised to hear that AR didn't answer that question.
I missed the old cheeky bastard somehow, but Rickydick is still on track:

STGRB Rides the Anne Rice Wave, But Not For Long, Feb 14, 2014

That post is actually pretty good for him.

I think the courts are closed on Presidents' Day though.

Yeap, he had worse, definitely, even he is a bit out of the loop about the old hag. Also his conclusion is based on the assumption that Athena tried to remove his blog, even he can´t really know, can he? So it doesn´t prove anything. But logic and Rick are two dots that will never connect.

I am sort of amused that she asks critics to remove their posts against Those-Who-Take-A-Shit while positive posts are completely fine, but hey, Annie Old Hag is unable to properly review anything. *snort* I think "unable" is indeed the proper word here.

In the recent post, Melissa continues to claim Pippa was a victim of bullies. Yet, Queen Butthurt never mentions how she shared PMS's private email then bullied her on F&G. Let's have a fun flashback to another day of Melissa bullying another one of her allies. Please note the part where Melissa say she thinks Lauren is a good person right while still trashing her. Excellent.

FYI, Pippa recanted her claims about the death and rape threats. However, she never changed her story about Melissa sharing her private email. Funny how that works.

This has been an outstanding week, but it just got a whole lot better. I nearly pissed myself in excitement when I saw the new STGRB post. Melissa Douthit has attacked Kimber S. Dawn and...

Oh, just read my post where I explain it. Let's just say that a BBA I had wanted to mock will soon be fair game. Plus, there's about to be another BBA battle. This time between Melissa and Kimber S. Dawn. Squeal!!!!

She's not Julia. We pretty much said that on Monday when Robynn started attacking Kimber. They don't care though. They're embarrassed to have their info shared, so Melissa is lashing out.

Once Julia realizes she was screwed over by CJP, we can post those SS without the blacked out parts. I can't express enough how happy this will make me. I hated letting those two BBA get away with hiding when they're just as nasty as Jaq, Oops, and Paula.

The best part was how Julia thought "Athena" outed CJP and KM's bad behavior last summer to make me look bad. Then, F&G turned around and supported the two dipshits. Now, they've been outed again. Melissa is the best friend EVER!!!

Julia doesn't need to deal with the drama. Miranda and I will do it for her. BTW, Julia got my message and said no one is off limits now.
