You're a braver woman than I if you can put yourself through book 8. I'll browse reviews and fandom oppinions, and if it looks like there's yummy Ravy, I'll probably pick it up.. but I'm getting thoroughly fed up of the whole thing, to be honest. At this point, I almost want Rachel to get her damn picket fence and whatever supremely idiotic male specimen Kim decides to put with her, just so Ivy can move on and find someone who'll make her happy, instead of just dragging her down in to the abyss yet again.

And Skimmer.. I was just about foaming when I read that scene.. If it'll cause some sort of character development that we can see in later books, maybe I'll enjoy or at least understand it, but if it was merely a device to rid herself of an inconvenient character.. sloppiness beyond belief, with a bit of character 360 thrown in for good measure.

And yeah, I completely agree about non series books, or series that aren't that widely popular for that matter, getting screwed over in fandom. Conversely, it seems that the people who take the time to write for them are most often top quality writers, so it's rather a skewed tradeoff, if you catch my drift. Overall, though, I'd rather have quality over quantity, which means I'm usually contented; of course the bubble bursts when I've reread my favorite fics loads of times, and there's very little new matterial being published.

I'm sick, lol. It's the same reason that I've read two Twilight novels. I get so pissed off, but I have some sick fascination with them.

I wish I could quit The Hollows and Cock-Block McGee, but she's sucked me in, and I'll probably finish reading the series *sigh* I'm just going to hate her and myself for it, lol.

At this point, I almost want Rachel to get her damn picket fence ... so Ivy can move on and find someone who'll make her happy, instead of just dragging her down in to the abyss yet again.

Oh, I know. I doubt it's Kim's intention but she's made Rachel really unlikable. To the point where I WANT her to suffer. I really don't think Rachel deserves Ivy after all the shit she's pulled. The only reason I'm rooting for them is because Ivy loves her so much. But yeah, I'm really not looking forward to Ivy being tortured by Rachel's dumb, indecisive ass for another four books. This shit has just been dragged on for TOO long.

And Skimmer.. I was just about foaming when I read that scene..but if it was merely a device to rid herself of an inconvenient character..

I too hope there was some reason for it, but I doubt it. I think the problem was that Skimmer was looking like a viable option for Ivy for a while, so Kim had to get her out of the way. Only Skimmer ruined her whole life to save Ivy (something that Rachel was unwilling to do) so she had to turn Skimmer into a blood-raping bitch to keep Ravy alive. Ooh, the rage ... it buuuurns!

Overall, though, I'd rather have quality over quantity, which means I'm usually contented; of course the bubble bursts when I've reread my favorite fics loads of times, and there's very little new matterial being published.

This. It's like, it's nice when you don't have to wade through tons of crap. But then again, in large fandoms it's nice to have options. I just finished reading the book "Santa Olivia" and I really, really wanted to read fic for it, but there's like none out there. It has a canon OTP lesbian character and there's no fic *sob*

I understand that it's hard to write for things when you're not getting new information though.
