Because, you know those generic books are making a shitload of money for the publishers. Kameron Hurley reports on her blog that even though she sold out her first run of paper books on her latest novel, she's saying that 70% of her sales are ebooks. But that's just genre generic. Doesn't mean anything. Right?
No, once again that is a complete and utter strawman. What I said is " There are some genres where the author isn't nearly as important as the imprint. The old Harlequin romance novels are prime examples, ..." Heck, you even quoted what I said, before you ignored it and bashed me for something I never said. Try reading what I actually say before hurling yourself at a conclusion at what I must have meant and then insulting me because of your miscomprehensions.
