Re: oh my god, it's full of sparkles

Yes, apparently LKH, like Anne Rice, is insistent that she no longer needs an editor, hence the increased typos. (Though the fact that she's not hyper-aware enough of them to catch them doesn't say much about her writing skills.)

The weird thing about the new Anita books is that LKH actually started a new series, the Merry Gentry series (about S&M fairies) where the sex is an integral part of the story, right around the time the Anita series had a brief hiatus on the sex (in what was by far the best book of the series). It seems like she created that series SPECIFICALLY to get out all her jollies.

But now, despite the fact that Merry's MAIN GOAL is to get pregnant before her psychotic cousin can get someone else pregnant (so that she can become queen of the fairies and not get killed), and her methods involve by sleeping with as many Mary-Sue-hair-colored faerie-men as possible, nevertheless the Merry Gentry series has LESS SEX than the Anita books, which had a heroine who was CELIBATE AS A NUN for like 9 books.

And yeah, the sex scenes ARE like something out of Nifty or the Greyarchive (except without any lesbianism, presumably because that would involve something other than LKH's Mary Sue or hott vampire/werewolf/wereleopard/wereswan/werelion/werepoodle men).
