Haha. I love this. I've been a fan of Diana's work for a long time and continue to be--she's given me some of my favorite characters ever. However, reading her comments on the forum she posts on has made me loathe her as a person. While I continue to read her books because of how much I love the characters, my love and respect for her as a writer is completely gone. She's incredibly rude, arrogant, and full of herself. Her opinions are the only ones that matter and everyone else is just stupid or useless. I love how she has so much negative publicity because she opened her mouth and showed everyone what an opinionated bitch she really is. Does she have the right to say that she would prefer if people didn't write fanfic about her books? Sure. They're her characters and there are other authors who have asked that. But to bitch and moan about what heinous people fanfic writers are? Bitch. Especially since writing itself has ALWAYS been about taking things other people have written and using them to write something else. This is just one of the steps in that process.
