my comment from elsewhere, wherein I wish I were more surprised
" haven’t trusted Nightshade since the Eclipse fiasco went down. The fact that Lassen sat on a panel at wiscon about E1 not using any women’s names on the cover even though the book was half full of stories by women, and *lied* about the gender breakdown of E2, saying that it would also have plenty of women and they would be represented on the cover this time just made me lose all faith in their good intentions.
It seemed to me like a spiteful “fine, we include women and you bitch we don’t list them on the cover, we just won’t include any women next time, nyahnyah.” and that Lassen just said whatever he needed to at the panel about the next book to keep tempers settled til the book dropped.
And I feel bad saying mean things about Lassen, one time he found me the Good Rum at a party with bad beer, and that counts for a lot with me, but this is just bullshit."
