re: sobh

(or re: being a bitch about CC)

can I just preface this by saying that I'm really happy for all the people who are invested in this project, and I absolutely don't mind SOBH itself?

I am just so done with the disproportions between the promo and excitement that goes into TWP, which hasn't even been sold yet, and TLH, that's, you know, the series CC is currently publishing?

we're getting yet another new Kit x Mina art (which, again, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against, and it's super adorable, and all that), but we can't get revised flower cards for Alastair and Cordelia? we're getting small tidbits of everyday life and relationships (mostly platonic/familial) of the TWP gang, but all she can be bothered to give us for TLH is sex, even with all those potential familial relationships just begging to be developed? (I wouldn't mind the sexy/make out content in general, if it wasn't the only type of extra content we're getting)

we're getting sobh, but not even a snippet/line/art for CHoT in the latest newsletter?

and before someone comes @ me with the "she's doing it for free" bullshit - first of all, I can still bitch about it (also for free!), and because I paid for the damn books and my frustration at the lack of extra content is undoubtedly magnified because of the unsatisfactory canon content - and second of all, not really? I mean, yes, no one's paying directly for that bonus content, but it all helps build the hype around the books, and she clearly cares about that once it's time to promote a dozen special editions of TLH. I can fucking bet we'll be getting promo right before ChoT comes out, probably some more sexualised couple art because it appeals to the majority of the fans, it seems.

and yes, I know that's marketing. she clearly knows which "era" of the Shadowhunters is the real hit, and for some unfathomable (for me, as I'm clearly biased) reason, it's not TLH, but it just feels shitty to see that the author doesn't care about the books she's writing, the characters you love so much.

especially that i am more and more under an impression that CC's only doing TLH because, for one, she already started it, and, most importantly, something in it will be relevant in TWP. the inconsistencies and the lack of any genuine involvement on her part do point to that, and it really doesn't help with the overall frustration.

so I'm just gonna whine about it, leave me be.

also, I fucking miss Alastair
