There has been some discussion, re Laurell K Hamilton's criticism of her fans, of crazy monkeys.

Monkeys are nice. They're really like this.

Now, that monkey looks pretty much the way I feel when I have to go to a reading, book promo or other such event. The reason I feel that way (and Ms Hamilton may well feel similarly), is the deep fear that, while most of the readers are probably this kind of primate, some of them, out there, are actually like this.

It's a worrying world sometimes.
