I really, really wish authors would just butt out of conversations about their works. Especially when they get overly-defensive and throw out random, never-before-heard "canon" about the things people are criticizing.
It really, really stifles discussion.

How are you doing?

Yay! I hope you're less overwhelmed soon. That's never fun.
