Drama Box Question
THi Kim!!! Since its April 1, I can ask my question about WWBC, although its not really a spoiler. Anyway, when Rachel is picking up her brother that the airport, she sees a woman greeting her partner with their children. Then she is sad that her and Ivy's relationship will never be recognized like that. First, awesome scene and a nod to other families. Second, how can Rachel not want to be with Ivy after a thought like that? Seriously, people don't have those kind of thoughts about normal friends. Honestly, I think that Rachel is just so scared she would lose Ivy that she is not even letting herself consider the possibility. Look at how their auras merged to become one in ODW. Ok, I'm done stating my case for time being. I'm lovin' the book!!!~Indy

Cock-Blocks Answer
4/1/09 -- Hi, Indy. It's complicated. Rachel is smart enough to know that some things come with so many attachments, that to follow them will lead to disaster. Yes, you can try, but at some point, it's going to fall apart. Ivy is my tragic figure, and she will be happy when I'm done even if I have to kill her to do it. (just kidding) Ivy will be happy, but it won't be with Rachel. And Rachel is going to have to live with that. --Kim

My Response
That sounds pretty conclusive to me.




The nicest thing I can say is, at least she finally manned up and has stopped intentionally fucking with the hopes of Ravy fans.

So, on the one hand ... I'm free! I no longer do I have to worry about how I'm going to get through 6 more books. The answer: I don't! I'm done. I'm retiring from the stage. Adios. Sayonara. Goodbye. And, there's something in having that resolved at least. A clean break and all that.

Mostly, I'm feeling like this towards Cock Block however:

Because, while she didn't owe me a Ravy ending to the series, she made me hope for it, and for books, and books, and books was tease about the whole fucking thing and so ...




Thanks for the memories!  It was good for a while between us bb, but it got ugly real fast!  Buh-bye.


*gets ready to start programming my brain into believing, utterly and completely, that the series ended with book five*

Looks like it's strictly fanficly from now on ... my heart is sad, but I guess my wallet can rest easy.

*sigh*

So, yeah ... there's that.

ZOMG! She's flip-flopping again:

Hi Kim!!! Question for you, why do different countries have different book covers? I think the US one is awesome!!! I can see if you need to write the title, and what not in another language, but why change the pics? Plus, I am going to try not to cry about Rachel & Ivy not being together. ~Indy

4/2/09 -- Hi, Indy. The reason the covers change is because the publishing house changes, and each house has their own marketing team, and they know what will sell in their country. Personally, I really like the US covers, but different things sell in different countries. No tears. It's not over yet. --Kim


She needs to stop even answering these questions until she can decide what's going to happen! *twitch*

No tears. It's not over yet. --Kim

I don't know if I'd call this a flip flop. She hasn't really retracted her statement from yesterday, she's just said that the Rachel and Ivy story isn't over yet, which I don't doubt.

I'm sure that Cock Block has tons more ways to torture Ivy and plenty of other ways to cock-block Ravy from happening. I'm sure she's got books worth of ways to put them through the emotional ringer, only for Ivy to end up with some woman that we haven't met yet and probably won't until like the second last book. And for Rachel to end up with someone we haven't met yet or like Trent or something.

In Cock Block I do not trust.

Maybe she'll prove me wrong, and I'll have to make a post talking apologizing to her for being such a hater. But I doubt she'll prove me wrong. And probably by the time the series is finished in other decade I won't care anymore.

Well, I read Kim's comment as implying that they still might end up together, so maybe not a flip-flop, maybe more of a "THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE STUFF, WOMAN. YOU KEEP CONTRADICTING YOURSELF!" moment...
