So I asked on my blog yesterday for ideas for blog topics today because I had to blog here and at LSB.
Jordan suggested a blog on people who denigrate a genre they write in *cough* I can’t imagine why.
Jorrie voted for Beta Heros which I’m saving for another day. It’s one of those posts that’s going to take a while to pull together.
Raine came up with, “Why can I blog all week long and come up blank on group blog day?” and the difference between paranormal and urban fantasy–yeah like I’m qualified to answer that one.
Bernard had the most interesting suggestion by far though–the fine line between a scene portraying feeling, and one dropping off the edge of feeling into pathos.

Raine….this is my opinion–performance anxiety. Ok just kidding. Anything involving the fae in an urban setting is urban fantasy. Anything involving succubus, incubi, the devil, ghosts, witch craft, and demons regardless of setting is IMO a parnaormal. KMM’s Darkfever is IMO really urban fantasy while Lynn Viehls’ Darkyn books are paranormal. I do not expect anyone to agree with me. That’s just how I sort it out in my head.

Jordan….people denigrate other writers in their genre because they’re overcompensating for small penis’s. Wait that doesn’t work for most romance writers, does it? I saw this a lot in romance writers when Chick Lit was hot, I saw it again when Erotica got real hot and obviously you’re seeing it Urban Fantasy/Fantasy circles too. I think they feel threatened. Also, like I said, we’re damned no matter what. If there’s one thing that is getting more and more driven home to me it’s to NOT compare myself to other writers, which is hard because it’s SO human nature. Ha ha and I didn’t even rant much.

Bernard….lessee….Pathos: A quality that arouses emotions (especially pity or sorrow).
I’m thinking…..I’m thinking…..I’m thinking I need more information. I may save this one for my blog later this week or next week so I have time to dig up some examples. Feel free to throw some out.
