That one's new to me. Is it east or west of East Bumfuck? :laugh:

She can be a cranky crabass. We knew that already. She wouldn't be her if she wasn't. Remember the trashing and thrashing she gave the Academy Awards experience? But she also said that Heath Ledger's name should be Heath Legend, so she has my support to be whatever the fuck she wants.
And I'm guessing she's wrong about the gender of many of the fan fiction writers she's referring to, just based on what seems like an overwhelming majority that I know of being women.
She's cantankerous, and it allows her the discipline to sit and write, all by herself. I say let be let be.

My two cents worth, but if it weren't for BBM the movie, I probably would never have read any of Annie Proulx's works to the end as I found them difficult to 'get into'. But I persisted just because of BBM the short story and have come to enjoy her style, esp her short stories.
As for the people who have rewritten her stories with a different ending and then sent them to her, well, I don't know why they think she would be flattered or agree with them.
