For whoever is interested.

Just as a follow up I suppose to the post [livejournal.com profile] starrylizard made yesterday concerning The Roadhouse forum - I'd just like to be sure people are aware that I too am no longer actively involved in this forum - for the same reasons as SL for the most part - and am only checking there periodically for any vids that might have been posted so I can list them on The Impala. I wouldn't want people going there and thinking I'm not bothering to do anything, or taking my responsibilities seriously, when actually I'm just not involved right now. And I know nothing more than SL has already stated in her post, I'm afraid. Sorry. I am of course continuing all my work with both Kawoosh! and The Impala and the other sites I co-run associated with these sites as listed on my profile page. So if you have Supernatural vids you'd like listed on The Impala, could you please just carry on doing it the usual way via the submission form.

I'd also just like to thank [livejournal.com profile] starrylizard for everything she did over there whilst we were working there together, and for everything since - she was, and is, amazing - thank you.

Thank you and sorry for any confusion that has arisen.

Ah, I see. I understand why you wouldn't. I mean, I didn't personally like the book enough to finish it and I'll tell anyone who asks a list of reasons why, but I know a number of people who really enjoyed it. I'm just curious as to why different people like it or dislike it. It seems everyone has their own reasons.

I will say that I love the 1-star reviews on Amazon. Some of them are actually well thought out, which is unexpected. I don't usually agree with everything they say, but they bring up good points.

That being said, I've read some really nasty posts about the book (and the series in general). One I read was written by another author and was so poorly researched, with basic facts wrong, that I honestly think it was just a personal attack on Stephenie Meyer and the LDS religion. (I'm LDS and I can tell you that Meyer being Mormon has nothing to do with the books at all.)

It's sad that people can't be more mature in expressing their opinions. If someone enjoyed the book, is that really a reason to criticize them? It says absolutely nothing about their reading tastes in general. I watch some pretty stupid movies on a fairly regular basis, should I be penalized for that?

Woah, that comment got away from me. Sorry!

(RE: the icon. Isn't Joe Flanigan so pretty?)

Absolutely. It certainly above and beyond fulfilled the crack quota I wanted, but I do now see it as a book apart from the other three, as it was just so wildly different and off course from them. But honestly, all I wanted was more crack, and I got that, so *shrugs* yeah, for the most part I did enjoy it =)

*hugs*

And yes, Joe is very, very pretty =P
