are you a famous Author Rogue? No, didn;t think so

I agree, stop make threads called "Reasons to hate...". Come on, it is one thing to not like someones writing, but you cannot say you hate the person just because of that, at least that is what you imply in the titles.

Fine I should've just said DISLIKE ok?

Mon Cal, I did understand what your meaning was in the title...you meant dislike of her work, just like Hathor meant liking KJA's work, not the author himself in her thread. That was why I tried (and seriously failed at wording it) to defend your reasoning.

No apology is nessecary.

Hathor, No I'm not an Author, I was merely trying to establish an equal frame of reference...

Second, I'll stand my ground by saying that text ineptitude (lack of wording deftness) is a trait present in ALL of us at any given time...even the most eloquent of people "step in it" occasionally. I simply thought that in his title wording that this was Mon-Cal's turn....and it's obvious that in my doing so,(in pointing that out) that it was definately my turn. If you want to pound me further on this....E-mail me. My address is on my profile. I invite you to do so.

Third, with myself being 30 years old anyone who I believe is younger than me I refer to as a kid...just as someone who is older than me might refer to me as a kid. Just because that is the way I refer to people doesn't in any way imply that I consider what they are saying as "crap" or consider their wording, "crap"...So please don't put words in my mouth. In my questions to Mon-Cal I genuinely wanted to hear his responses. If you want to pick apart the word "kid" any more then by all means, have at it.

No I'm not pissed at you, and I haven't been ignoring you either, I'm not very deft at using a keyboard either so my posts take time.

Damn, no more squabling. It went from reasons to Dislike Barbara Hamby to disliking each other just because of some remarks from some un-informed author who couldn't even read the other post.<note Crispin's trilogy was fine>

I need this at the top again, thanks.

Well, back to the topic.... I'll have to come down on the side of liking her work. I really enjoyed the Luke/Callista story even though I preferred to see Luke and Mara hook up. I liked it so much I re-read the book, reading only their storyline. The Eye of Palpatine was a good, in keeping with Palpy's superweapon fetish. Planet of Twilight was good too, although I could have done without Dizm -- the culinary-created terror. The Death Sead plague was a different, new threat, not just some crazed resurrected Dark Jedi or someone using a superweapon.

My only bone of contention would be the lack of continuity. If Luke and Mara were destined for each other, why introduce another love interest and string people along.

Here's something I have been wondering about though. How many thing BH toned down Daala and reunited her with her lost love to get back at KJA for turning her Callista into a weak willed woman?

I dislike Hambly because her plots are sub-par star wars. She doesn't write SW very well. I see that this thread has caused a little trouble for mon cal warrior. I don't hate hambly but I don't like her.

Jades Fire... it had to happen because Crystal Star was written before CotJ in the timeline, but set later. The authors had no choice but to string you along. No problem if Hambly never created Callista, right? You can think so, but I still think she made things interesting.

Did anyone else feel like they had a concussion while they tried to read COTJ. Luke's head was spinning and her writing style made my spin.
