Looking for something "in vein" means that you've just opened some person's artery and you're sloshing through their blood. Gross.

@ I'm sure people were totally impressed...back in 1994.

Please make sure that I can read the text of your email despite your stationery. Also, animated, singing stationery is RIGHT OUT.

Clarification: I'm not *offended* that you guys though I was a man, just amused. Somehow I thought it was obvious--poor form, me.

I am, in fact, a woman. Admittedly, the sort of woman who'll smoke your cigars, drink your whiskey, & flirt with your women, but still.

You people are just *trying* to send me into therapy today, aren't you. Unrelated: I'm amused by how many people thought I was a dude.

@ That's it, I'm sending you my therapy bills! *weeps*

Regarding overemphasizing smallness, that goes for double for sex scenes. No "tiny, childlike hands" on his cock, please.

Also size-related, don't overemphasize smallness. Her tiny hands, she felt so small and vulnerable... It reads like he's a pedophile.

@ I do notice that! And it drives me batty.

For the record, I'm female and 5'8". My husband is--oh no!--5'6", and I think that he's plenty sexy.

@ Sort of odd--it's often thought of as essential description--but I think that it works better when there's not a specific number.

@ I'd argue if they're all exceptional, then really, none of them are. One character who's 6'5" stands out. Three of them, less so.

I'd really love to see a hero who's only, say, 5'6". It'd be nice to see a guy be manly in ways other than OMG I AM SO BIG AND TOUGH.

(Jarring to see books in which everyone's super-tall, that is. Stupid character limit.)

The average height for men in the US is 5'10". Maybe you only know people over 6'3" or whatever, but most of us don't, and it's jarring.

Guys, of course there will always be some people that tall. But it's still somewhat uncommon & remarkable to meet someone who's 6'6".

@ I'm not especially bugged if there's *a* character who's really tall, but when *all* of the men are 6'4", it seems weird.

Things that annoy me: implausibly tall heroes. Once in a while, sure, but let's face it--most guys aren't 6'3" and up.
