Fanlore:Featured Article Archives/2018: Week 13
In September 2004, Anne Rice posted a response on Amazon to critics of her then-new Blood Canticle, in which she rejected all negative reviews and stated that there could be only one "correct" interpretation of the text.
She said that readers with criticisms had "negative voices," that they were interrogating this text from the wrong perspective, that they have used this site as if it were a public urinal to publish falsehood and lies, and that she had fought a great battle to achieve a status where I did not have to put up with editors making demands on me, and I will never relinquish that status.
Many fans found Rice's response intemperate, rude, and condescending. The incident produced amusing Amazon replies, professional author and editor commentary, and much fandom discussion, including a Fandom Wank post.
