*grin* My favorite is still the Stephen King fiasco. He made a flippant comment about how JK Rowling and Stephenie Meyer both fill important gaps in kids' reading, but the difference is that Rowling can actually write.
He got deluged with comments by Twilight fans saying he's just jealous of Meyer, that he's sexist, and that why doesn't HE write a bestseller that gets made into a hit movie if he thinks he's so great.
That's when we started to wonder about them ...
When I was 12 I was reading Ray Bradbury, David Eddings, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, and knew all sorts of myths and legends. I stayed away from B-movies for a while longer because I was still able to internalize the IDEAS and scare myself, but at least I knew they EXISTED.
