a pause to indulge in snark to the power of three
Smart Bitches Trashy Books is one of the newer weblogs that provides commentary on romance novels and the industry that is refreshingly honest. Apparently the SBTB snark has reached a critical mass, enough to trigger snark about the snarkers.
Enter a new weblog, Snarking the Snarky. The second post has a short riff about Smart Bitches Candy and Sarah, a modest offering with sourbitchytwist aftertaste ala Ted Casablanca's The Awful Truth. The question is whether the StS blogger (anonymous, which doesn't bode well) can deliver the kind of tony, informative snark we've been getting from SMTB. I'm certainly curious.
In the meantime, I'm thinking more about the MN post and your comments, and I'll probably have something in response later today.
I have gotten a snarky comment spammer who spams me with crazy opinions on several occations. They even correct my spelling. You have to love those annon.
That white text on black left afterimages in my vision for longer than I'd like on StS. The optical illusion on coming back to your blog was something. A clear image, that's what I like.
Well, that didn't last long. Snarkyou shut down on June 23.
The thing about SBTB is they aren't just about snark. They realize that the cultural reaction to romance novels is meaningful, and they have the chops to deal with it.
Hell, I don't even read romance novels, but I go there all the time.
