Um, yea… what you said! I just assumed that we would learn more about Sin, so it didn’t bother me. In fact, I was a bit intregued by her. ALSO, I figured the reason for the rule “There shalt not be any female Seminus demons” is that no one had ever seen/met one… So along some Sin and well, the rules adjust. ALSO, I thought MAYBE there is more to Sin than meets the eye…

But I love paranormal and sci-fi for a reason - there is flexibility in the rules and we learn them along the way. I mean, hello - Jack Bauer/24 anyone? Now there are some big rule breakers! (And sometimes breaking the rules is fun to watch/read)!

All I can say is that Beer is great, God is good, and People are crazy. <

I have no rules when I read books. These are your stories and I’m just along for the ride. If you say there can never,ever, EVER be a female Sem and then you produce a female Sem, then I was be enchanted as I read WHY the never, ever, EVER came into existence.

Crazy law: In MA you can tie your spouse to the state capital courthouse flag pole and beat them between 10 & 2 on Sun.

Larissa,
I as a reader…I chose to read PNR..b/c I like NOT knowing what is coming next.

If you want predictable - go read non fiction.

The fact that you have the right to take the story anywhere you want…is amazing & fun to read.

Larissa…you are the bomb. If you wrote about lettuce…hell I’d read that too. LOL

You don’t have to explain any of your choices to me. And I can’t wait for SIN!!!!

Man, I’m embarrassed to say that pop in Maine would’ve stopped me too. I try to avoid novels set in Boston/NE which aren’t written by natives (and even then there are hiccups, like in a certain vampire series) because those little details scream so loudly at me I can’t hear the story. But if he was from Washington, and that was mentioned earlier, I’d have pulled through.

I grant more leeway in world-building in paranormals. Aren’t I generous? I figure you know your world best, and if you’re fudging the numbers, there’s a reason for it. Now, if I get to the end and the bits still don’t line up, then I might let a tsk tsk go, but maybe not. I figure once magic’s in the mix, anything’s possible.

I find that even if you explain things explicitly to the reader, there are some readers who will refuse to get it. Look at that nasty letter the Twilight fan sent to the filmmaker of Wolfman telling him that werewolves don’t “work that way.”

You can lead a horse to water sometimes, but you can’t make it drink.

I cannot believe in 2010 there are still people who do not understand that any rule is meant to be broken when it comes to writing a good story! I for one am so happy to see you break your rule about the “no female Sems” that cannot tell you in words alone! Your work, your ideas, your rules and if you want to break them I am not complaining but am going to read it like it and enjoy the story for what it is, A STORY!!! My trust was earned after read the first Demonica, the series is too complicated on the world building for me to 2nd guess you!
Larissa this was as usual an interesting post with some new information for all of us not from Oregon, I never knew there was a place in the USofA that did not let you pump your own gas! I also would never walk into a convenience store and ask for a Pop even though know that it is indeed a carbonated beverage commonly known as soda water. Did you know that on the airline to Aruba you better not ask for “soda water”, that is what you will get not Coke or Pepsi or Sprite or whatever. ( I found that one out by accident the hard way, yucky soda water!!!)

Paranormal or real life? Very hard to choose as to which is more difficult to create. First i strongly believe that everything in this world is down to subjectivity and you cannot please everyone. Also, putting on paper the exact thing you are thinking about and imagining is close to impossible. Secondly, i agree, rules are meant to be broken. Some things are better left unexplained, adds to the mistery, to that feeling that gets your heart racing when you read.
Your books are your universe that we have to addapt to :)

I try to remember always that the characters and story belong to the author…I’m just along for the ride. Has this made me stop buying certain author’s books? Usually only when they get so predictable that it gets annoying or when the plots become so convoluted that I can’t follow the story without getting out a notebook and taking notes …..
