Coming out of lurking, because I saw this secret today and it tickled me.

There's a community here on LJ called [livejournal.com profile] fandomsecrets where people make images similar to the post cards in the Post Secrets blog, all relating to fandom. The secrets range from vulgar (the community can be NSFW at times, just to warn you all) to sweet to stupid to funny to something you actually agree with.

Well, on today's post there's a secret about our favorite books! It's #169. Someone lamenting that "nobody's ever heard of the books". I took the opportunity to pimp the community in the comments, of course, since apparently the secret-maker isn't aware of the community here.

Again, the community can be NSFW sometimes, so DON'T click the link if you're not prepared for that. (I don't think there's anything too graphic this time around, but some of the secrets deal with adult subject matter for sure.)

If you want to see the secret without looking through the entire post, it's here.

A few people actually asked for more information about the books, so they might get a few more readers because of this. ^^ It's nothing too earth-shattering, but I still thought it was nice to see some love for the books, so I'd thought I'd let you all know!

Man, I love how much interest there was in the comments! Hopefully someone will pick up a copy and join the fandom!

Yeah, Twilight stinks on ice. Stupid old Bella, stereotypical old Edward, and our good friend hasn't-written-a-word-worth-reading-in-her-life Stephanie Meyer. I think we should have an entire chat about what would happen if Bella was fighting Attolia and Edward was fighting Gen. Well, I think it would be fun, even if there isn't really a contest... *smiles imagining Edward reduced to blinking stupidly from over-exposure to Gen's particular form of sarcastic dialog*

I agree. I liked Twilight. We all have our own opinions about books and yay for that. No need to trash talk an author personally, though.

Must I be? *looks pitiful* I feel that it is my prerogative to wax eloquent on how much I hate Twilight here, since whenever I discuss it at school there's this girl who starts beating me up and saying that SM is a goddess of writing compared to my fave authors... So you can just ignore me when I start on it. I'm just ranting. ;-)

I haven't read any of her books (mostly I don't like YA books because they are too old for me), but please don't insult the author. I'm sure plenty of people do like them, and while the author isn't likely to wander in here (unless of course she has exquisite taste and loves MWT's books), people who are fans of hers might, and might feel rather battered by something that reflects on their judgment.

Whoops - thought I had logged in!

Sorry, that was I. Apparently I didn't actually log in...

Sorry. Like I said above, just ranting... I'll try to keep my criticisms to myself. *hands out fresh-baked cookies in repentance*

After reading all the comments on the f!s post, I'm really curious about the books and I'm planning to read them as soon as possible. ;)

Just thought I'd drop by and say hi~. And join the comm in advance, so I don't lose the link.;

Welcome! And read the books as soon as possible! You will love them! No point in living another minute without having experienced the wonder that is MWT's writing... =p

I love our amazing Sounisian ability to radar in on the books and pimp them to the nth degree. Well done, mates!
