Somehow my sci-fi romance entry got linked to sci-fi site io9, which is cool. I dropped in to read the comments. They were interesting. Some were pretty predictable given the wide variety of what I write and the target painted on romance’s back. I am a little confused by a few of the comments since they mention cyborgs. I’m not quite sure if they’re talking about my book or something else. For the record, cyborgs aren’t in RED, but that would’ve been a cool idea…if it hadn’t already been done in Blade Runner. Yes, I am a fan and own the director’s cut HD box set to prove it. 
I know I’m kind of taking the piss out of the whole thing because they thought I was a dude, but I really did enjoy their site. They have some interesting entries. If you get a chance, check it out.
Good to see I still suck. After nine years and twelve SF books in print, I worry I might be improving a little.
I love the instant assumption that you were a guy. They really don’t know anything about romance, do they?
by Lynn May 1st, 2008 at 6:54 amThey definitely think you have a Cyborg in ‘Red’; but they did correct the ‘himself’ comment.
by BernardL May 1st, 2008 at 7:20 amLOL, Lynn! I did note that they skipped right over you. *g*
Like most people who don’t read the genre, there are gaps in their knowledge.
by Jordan Summers May 1st, 2008 at 11:47 amBernard, Okay, that’s just weird. I’m not sure where they got the cyborg thing. My story is a twist on Little Red Riding Hood. Scratches head. Yes, I saw that. Nice to know I’m no longer a dude. *ggg*
by Jordan Summers May 1st, 2008 at 11:48 amMaybe you could stick a cyborg in #3?

by Jordan Summers May 1st, 2008 at 2:38 pmI think we need a non-biased opinion on whether or not there are cyborgs in Red.
Jordan, if you’ll just mail the file to shilohwalker at g….
Lynn, if the way you write sucks, then please don’t ‘improve’ because I adore your writing.
by Shiloh Walker May 3rd, 2008 at 9:21 amYou know, I’m so over the scorn of SF separatists who hate kissing scenes. I do find it amusing, however, when they discuss how unworthy romance is and how much they hate it, but at being questioned further, they demonstrate they’ve never actually read one. It never reflects well on someone when they can only build something up by tearing something else down.

by Jordan Summers May 3rd, 2008 at 4:52 pmAnn, I noticed that, too. It just made me shake my head and laugh. It’s so totally predictable.
by Jordan Summers May 3rd, 2008 at 4:53 pmLOL@shi….she should totally get points for trying
by Amie Stuart May 4th, 2008 at 4:06 pmOh, Amie, she gets points for trying. *ggg*

Well, I know for sure, and I’m not telling. Let them suffer, I say.
Lynn, if the way you write sucks, then please don’t ‘improve’ because I adore your writing.
Thank you, ma’am. But you’re still not getting the file out of me.
by Lynn May 4th, 2008 at 7:25 pmShi, You are shameless.
That goes without saying.
LOL@shi….she should totally get points for trying.
I should. I’m not appreciated enough.
Well, I know for sure, and I’m not telling. Let them suffer, I say.
I’m telling you, there is no justice in the world.
by Shiloh Walker May 5th, 2008 at 10:55 amLynn,
Taunting Shiloh and io9. I wish I could say I was surprised. *ggg*
by Jordan Summers May 5th, 2008 at 11:03 amShi, Hang tough.
