Well, I wish people would realize homosexual does not equal  
pedophilia.  Argh.

I think that is just off colour humor.

Have you ever gone through and gotten all the easter eggs on her  
site? They are usually scans of notes and notebooks and believe you  
me she has a TON of background info from over the years that she  
wrote purely to flesh out her characters. I have no doubt that what  
she says, she has had as part of a character for a long time, even if  
we didn't know it. I think that is what makes her so successful as a  
writer and why her characters have such appeal, even when you don't  
get to read those things. Actors do that too. They will create  
elaborate backgrounds that no one else ever knows about for a  
character. Those are the actors that you can't figure out just why  
they are so good.
