Email: Comments: Mr. Hewitt, since you've so graciously apologized to Ms. Navarro for your "crap" comments regarding her Buffy books, I feel it necessary to apologize to you for my "dick" comment. We *are* all adults here, eh?

PLEASE accept my "heartfelt"apology!!!

Sorry, but I have way too much stuff to do... there's just no time to go into repeat mode. 396 Wed May 09 2001 - 04:26:37 Fullname: Weston Email: weston@njaccess.com Comments: Butch, I agree with you about the Afterage Sequel. I'd love to read one. If there is a single thing that Yvonne is tremendous at, it is the telling of a story...and everytime, I ache everytime one of her stories ends. Still, I think you're being a little too hard. Just because you aren't a member of the target audience for the Buffy books, doesn't mean they're crap. That's like an Arab calling Shakespeare crap -- different words for different people based on culture and history. From a marketing standpoint let me mention this. Publishers pay attention to how many books are sold by each author regardless of the subject. So if a fan was to boycott certian novels/works of an author because they don't like the subject matter, that action actually effects future works by said author. Not that you or your friends are guilty of this, just passing on info that many do not know. Contracts are based on sales. What I have noticed, however, and you can agree, is that Yvonne's skill and dedication is still evident in the Buffy Books. I am not the most diehard fan of the series, but I have heard from several people that she has captured the voice and manner of Willow so perfectly, she must have been the creator. That is a skill I envy.

Yes, there was a cross-cultural anthropologist named Stephen Arden in Species. In the movie, the character was played by Alfred Molina. However, his character was also killed by Sil in Species, and so there is only a reference to him (as backstory) in Species II. I can't take the credit for the addition of an anthropologist though, since that, of course, came from the screenwriter and creator of Species, Dennis Feldman. Another series that comes immediately to mind in this arena (i.e., the inclusion of a cross-cultural anthropologist) is Stargate, both the movie and the ongoing series. 399 Sat April 28 2001 - 06:22:43 Fullname: Mark Roberts Email: pleiadesx@earthlink.net Comments: Dear Yvonne, I read both Species 1 & 2 - and my copies were long ago shared & lost by friends. I have mentioned, in many lectures your great wisdom exampled in the writing of Species - however, with no book to reference, I need to verify a fact prior to writing of this matter in an article - for, I may be just be remembering a scene in the movie/screenplay that was not actually in the book. The scene was the gathering together of the team to search for Sil - you had included a cross-cultural anthropologist ... Such is the wisdom of a Sci-Fi author, over virtually every aspect of ET-contact reality research - including SETI ... In reality "wisdom" contact research is knee deep in engineers and other variations of the scientific community, everyone but Cross-Cultural Anthropologists. Is there a background story to the source of your exampled wisdom ? ... By the way, under the manuscript click on To Grok a Crop Circle at http://home.earthlink.net/~pleiadesx/ there is, I believe, the lone example of a reality Cross-Culture Anthropologist involved in ET research (is that web site really the only one?). Whatever, thankyou Yvonne, for exampling, within fiction, how reality should happen. Ciao, Mark 400 Thu April 26 2001 - 00:18:01 Fullname: Weston Email: weston@njaccess.com Comments: Whilst? Does anyone really say that? Or should I have asked, 'Doth anyone sayeth whilst, forsooth?' And to make matters worse...Dear Yvonne has been taken, shaken and kicked to the curb by a Red Hot Chili Pepper. The day cannot possible get any worse. So sad. 401 Tue April 24 2001 - 19:31:53 Fullname: Yvonne Navarro Email: Comments: Dave Navarro? We're married and he owes me money and child support for twenty-three kids, fourteen dogs, three cats (those are a special sore spot, since I'm not fond of cats), three goldfish, and one garter snake. Plus I was the one who bought him that damned guitar that started the whole music thing, and do you think I get any credit for it? Oh no. I have to do everything but no one appreciates me. Not even the goldfish, and least of all, these damned cats. Dave Navarro? Sorry, no relation. 402 Mon April 23 2001 - 15:53:23 Fullname: Alex Thompson (F) Email: alex_thompson@ntlworld.com Comments: Hey! I just stumbled across your site whilst surfing the net and I am just wondering, are you any relation to Dave Navarro (Janes' Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers fame)? I know you probably find this annoying as you want comments and questions about your writing, thats why I'll say you don't have to answer if you really don't want to, but I would appreciate to know. Thanks. Alex 403 Sat April 21 2001 - 03:38:29 Fullname: Yvonne Navarro Email: Comments: Ron -- Thanks for the kind words. They're very much appreciated. 404 Tue April 17 2001 - 14:59:23 Fullname: Ron Dickie Email: rdickie@canada.com Comments: Hi Yvonne! Well, I finished THAT'S NOT MY NAME last night and wanted to let you know that I enjoyed it greatly. You kept me guessing all the way through it. Everytime I thought I had the solution figured out, you threw in something else that proved me wrong, and that doesn't happen often! Thanks for a great read! 405 Thu April 12 2001 - 03:26:34 Fullname: Yvonne Navarro Email: Comments: Hi Chris. No need to fuss at anyone about the Buffy books or anything -- after all, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. :) Anyway, Para-Net, which was bought by Sisna sometime ago, announced it would no longer host the free sites set up for the authors and artists by Para-Net's previous owner. I fought it out with the new owners as long as I could, but ultimately they pulled them all, and Brian's was one of those. As far as I know, he has not yet selected a new home for his web site. When he does, I'll post it up here and put it in the Hall of Links on my site, as well. << 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 >>
