Matthew Woodring Stover and Lou Anders (+1)
Anders: "I gave up on page 188, having endured shameless padding and horrendous transgressions of the most basic rule of writing—"show, don't tell"— far longer than I would normally tolerate for the purpose of this essay..."

Stover:'' "Shameless padding? 'Show, don't tell'? Is that all you've got? No wonder you're an editor instead of a writer. That's the most pathetic excuse for a personal insult I've ever heard. I get better than that from the semi-literate wannabes on the Web.

"'Stover makes Dan Brown look like Tolstoy.'

"'Heroes Die'' is the kind of book a demented third-grader might finger paint in his own vomit.'

"'The only way Blade of Tyshalle could be worse is if it had been edited by that pseudo-intellectual human pimple from Pyr.'

As trash-talk goes, Mr. Hundreds-of-Manuscripts-per-Year, yours barely makes it to the level of a stuck-out tongue."

''Hear that? Softly, softly, someone is knocking at your door—a long time ago, on a summer afternoon far,far away...''

Come on—Han's got the Falcon ''in the park behind the basketball court, but there isn't much time—!

Here's your lightsaber...

Come out and play.
