L Ron Rebecca
While browsing the local Borders came across a copy of the XXIV WoTF anthology with a contribution from Rebecca Moesta.
She basically wrote a short piece stating that L Ron Hubbard was a "writer's writer" because he could crank out books and any subject.
In short, she says he was one of the greats.

Re: L Ron Rebecca
And she likes KJA...
What other brilliant insights might she have on literature?

Re: L Ron Rebecca
This is incredibly insightful. Now I understand why she and KJA are married

Not a huge surprise, but very telling.Mr. Teg wrote:She basically wrote a short piece stating that L Ron Hubbard was a "writer's writer" because he could crank out books and any subject.
She's firmly in the "quantity trumps quality" camp, so it makes sense that:
1. She marries the world's most notorious hack;
2. She worships LRH, a guy who makes TheKJA look slow. No one cranked them out like ol' Elrond.
Interesting that she gets to "contribute," being the famous author that she is (*cough*). Does she even have any solo credits?

Re: L Ron Rebecca
No, actually. I've always had a "family is off-limits" policy for my message-board posting. I'll drag TheKJA and Bobo down into the mud at any time (and for the flimsiest of reasons), but their families are off-limits. Well, except for Merritt ... he is a facilitator. And maybe I'll take a jab at Becky's "writing," like I did above, but no more than that.Tleszer wrote:Is this supposed to be a fat joke?
It works for me; I'm not saying it's right or wrong. It's just easier for me to respect some sort of line.

Like I've said, making fun of someone's fat wife is below us. It's just too easy.

Due to her weight, she counts as two authors.TheDukester wrote:Does she even have any solo credits?
OR
Only if you count the times she ate her co-author.

Re: L Ron Rebecca
If you wanted to get technical, even though their sins are mostly of the omission rather than the commission type, any member of the HLP is open game, but other than Brian and Byron (and KJA as an honorary(?) member), they all keep quiet and out of the light, so I'm content to leave them alone ... like cockroaches I know are in the kitchen but can't be bothered to put out poison for. But 'Becca has been an active supporter of the Kevvy since the old MySpace blahg days (sticking up for his asinine "it's impossible to keep mistakes out of books" argument), so she's a combatant.
(Kim Herbert is out there, too, but she genuinely seems like a nice person, if kinda dumb, so abusing her feels kinda like kicking a friendly puppy. And who needs to go after her for that when we got B.B. right here. )

I'm inclined to agree, once you step into the spotlight you're fair game.

Re: L Ron Rebecca
I need a grudge first. When it comes to Kim, she never gave me one. Actually, she helped me a few times, and never held a thing that I said about her dad against me. That means to me that she wants to be a non-com, and deserves none of my bile.
Byron? Fuck him.

Re: L Ron Rebecca
With a dried out oil drum.
Yeah, she was really nice in the few messages we exchanged on MySpace. I got the impression, at least, that she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. And she genuinely seems to love her father, without the "circle the wagons" shill bullshit you get from Byron since his wholesale sell-out.
I gave her some shit when she first started her MySpace page, for playing the "grandaughter" of FH card and general bad design, but she's off the radar now.

Re: L Ron Rebecca
I tend to think Rebecca's off-limits as well, but your mileage may vary.
Of course, anything she says publicly (such as her "bathtime" tweets) are totally open for comment.

She and Anderson are currently working on book three of their original young adult fantasy series Crystal Doors.

Re: L Ron Rebecca
Another fucking family affair, it looks like.
Has anyone ever read any of her stuff? That blurb makes her sound like as big a franchise pirate hack as Kevvy.
Feh.
