Line 4:
An American horror/erotica/religious stuff writer. Infamous for going from a fairly succesful cult author to pretty much the posterwriter for [[Fallen Creator (Darth Wiki)|Fallen Creator]].
 
In the mid-seventies, Rice published the influential ''Interview with the Vampire'', which became popular enough to kickstart a series and [[Interview Withwith the Vampire|get adapted into a movie]] twenty years later. Meanwhile, she published a [[Conveniently-Common Kink|BDSM trilogy]] and started another horror trilogy about witches. Things weren't bad, right?
 
In fact, things were going so well, Anne Rice decided [http://www.annerice.com/sh_MessagesBeach2.htm (as she let us know on a later web post)] that she had had it with those editors. The result wasn't pretty. Most of the Vampire Chronicles fandom considers her first editor-free book in that series, ''The Tale of the Body Thief'', [[Jump the Shark|the shark-jumping point.]] (And most who don't, think it's the next book, ''Memnoch the Devil''.) This, and the reaction of some people who felt she was to fault for the [[Draco in Leather Pants]] treatment of vampires in popular fiction, landed her a [[Hatedom]].
 
Don't think she minds too much, though. Currently, she has [[Creator Backlash|disowned]] the vampire books and moved on to write about Jesus, but her torch has passed on to [[Anita Blake|Laurell K. Hamilton]] and [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Stephenie Meyer]] among others. In 2010, [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100729/ap_en_ot/us_books_anne_rice# according to her Facebook page] she has renounced organized Christianity, (while remaining committed to Christ) on the grounds that she refuses to be "anti-gay, anti-feminist" and "anti-artificial birth control".
 
Her son, [[Christopher Rice]], is quite popular himself, especially with the GLBT crowd. He writes thrillers but hasn't done anything with supernatural themes (yet), and can do without comparisons to his mother.
