And Now For More Of The Same!
Following up loosely on my last entry, I finally came up with a perfect way to describe Urban Chick Lit Fantasy: It's not so much Pride and Prejudice and Zombies as it is Sex & the City & Mothman.*
Yeah, it's another subgenre that irritates the hell out of me, but I really can't take the high road on this one because I am a fan of Tamora Pierce's pioneering genre of Law & Order: Special Pigeons Unit myself. I just can't deny my visceral reaction to pretty much any form of Sassy Chick Lit, and when they start snagging stuff I like, such as magic systems, I get territorial.
*Although unlike the other remixes done purely for gags, I feel that the addition of Mothman would be a serious improvement on that Let's Go Shopping And Be Horny bullshit.**
**Unless it's Mothman Prophecies Mothman. "Richard Gere, is your refrigerator running?" should not be a giant urban legend hellmonster's entire repertoire.

I always hate sex scenes because 90% of the time they're totally forced. There's no build up to the romantic encounter, it's like HERE HAVE SOME RANDOM SEX!
