| Edited to add asterisks. Some people have asked me to elaborate on the concept of "author hot." But I'm afraid I only expound on this groundbreaking theory when heavily liquored. So if you're ever at a con, buy me a beer and I'll tell you. What I am willing to discuss is the fact the urban fantasy is filled with genuinely good-looking authors. Now, before I go into this, I should clarify that I am opposed to allowing the way someone looks to qualify their worth--especially women. So don't send me hate mail about how I'm demeaning women. First, I am one, and I've dealt with my share of being judged on things other than the size of my brain. Second, if you're offended it's probably because you're not very good-looking.* That said, have you checked out the hotties of urban fantasy lately? At Conestoga, I was amazed at how many truly good-looking people sat on panels. I won't name names so as not to embarrass anyone. But, hell, even here at the League we have a bunch of WILFs.** I'm not saying other genre authors aren't attractive. But it seems that as a percentage, UF has way more eye candy. Has anyone else noticed this? *If anything I ever say ever offends you, I was just kidding. Seriously. You probably have a great personality. **Writers I'd Like to ... um, Fraternize |

Is Barry urban fantasy?
He's everything and everywhere.
Barry's at RWA right now, in fact. :-)
Maybe I should post the pic of me in the red dress here, Mark? If we're starting a list of WILFs I want to be on it!!
Wow, another strike against me as a UF author...I suppose I best go to epic fantasy with the rest of the hobbits.
Todd - It's all about the attitude.
Stace - you're everyone's favorite strumpet. No need to flaunt.
Yes. I have noticed UF writers as a whole seem both younger and better looking. Just another perk.
"Younger and better looking"? Well I'm screwed on both accounts. And I'm too tired for any of Mark's attitude. I mean, I'm tired of Mark and his attitude. Ah, damn it! Words balling up like lumps of half-chewed clay in a kindergarten class room. It's late and I can't get no (ba-dum-bum) I-can't-get-no (ba-dum-bum)...
Yeah, I'm neither young nor good looking, but I can hang out with them in the internet and everyone will think I'm cool, too.
I know, it didn't work in High School either. LOL
I can see the new website now... The League of Reluctant Porn Stars!
For just $9.95 a month you can see some of the hottest Urban Fantasy writers alive in their raw natural state.
I think Mark should go first. ;)
With special guest stars like Ron Jeremy. *shivers* Now there's someone who didn't have to be pretty to get famous.
Hey Tom - Yep, them HS days were such a rollicking hoot; like a hemorriodal flare up.
