Jason Sizemore is the guest blogger on The Horror Library’s Blog-O-Rama. He’s talking about three women of horror that he knows and has included me. He opens my section with this:
Mary Robinette Kowal is better than you.
No, she doesn’t think this.1 And she’ll kill me for making such a statement.2 But I stand by the assertion.3
She’s the female equivalent of MacGuyver,4 able to build anything from a paper clip and the remains of a crappy late 90s horror chapbook.5
A word of fair warning if you click through. It’s all lies.
- I don’t. [↩]
- Yes, I will [↩]
- Such a dead man… [↩]
- Okay, maybe just maimed, because I have a weakness for MacGuyver [↩]
- All right. If you’re going to resort to blatant flattery, I’ll let you live. [↩]
You’re a great writer, so assertion one, in that context, is true for 99.99% of people.
Oh, you’re just hoping more flattery will save your skin.
A good part of the reason I check your site/blog daily. After coming across your laptop mod.
You make me grin with delight.
How did I ever miss the “menacing intelligence”?
[I don't mean the intelligence part -- I mean the menace. . . .]
It’s easier to hide behind a microphone.
You also come off as decidedly sinister.
Complimentary so.
Ha! It’s all the typewriters, isn’t it?
I was thinking more along the lines of “wanna see my house? Come up and see my attic, all my old friends are there. Whoops, the lights went out.”
Poor Jason… Let’s see, my original account of meeting Jason is here and here. But he has sneakily taken down the link to the pictures of the attic.
What exactly happened in the attic? I’m a little afraid now. I might sleep with the lights on.
Ah… the attic. Some things are best left untold.
Well said, Jason!
Mary MacGuyver Kowal–hmmm.
I had such a crush on MacGuyver.
Did anyone *not* have a crush on MacGuyver?
I love Jason’s memories. His essays do tend toward the Brian Keene version of the truth rather than the Alethea Kontis Adventures — but it does make for some popcorn-munching entertainment.
MacGuyver was so dreamy.
I enjoy Jason’s essays, too. I always feel so much more villainous in them.
Popcorn-munching entertainment. As a writer, that tickles me.
Mmmm…. popcorn. Just don’t drip grease on my website.
MacGuyver was, like totally, like HOT!!!
My hubby has recently discovered the existence of the old MacGuyver shows on DVD. We’re on season two, episode 10.
Hot, even if he did have a mullet.
