Piers Anthony: Difference between revisions

He's also written many stand alone novels, and collaborations. His story "In the Barn" was included in [[Harlan Ellison]]'s anthology ''[[Again, Dangerous Visions]]''. Another stand-alone was ''But What of Earth?'', which he released more as a [[Take That]] than anything else; it's a rather tedious and by-the-book [[Twenty Minutes in The Future]] novel where people start abandoning Earth to colonize other planets, with all the accompanying [[Signature Style|Piers Anthony standards]], but he published it with the remarks of the various editors who hacked it apart, attempting to show them as idiots now that he'd achieved [[Protection From Editors]] status.

* [[Author Appeal]]: Nudism / [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]], in spades. He also tends to use [[Rape as Drama]] and [[Lawful Stupid]] a lot.

** It's also been noted that he tends to have [[Lolicon|underage girls wind up naked]] and/or in sexual situations (usually with [[Author Avatar|middle-aged men]]) a little more often than is healthy. In fact, one of the ''Incarnations of Immortality'' books devotes a fair number of pages to [[Rules Lawyer]]ing a way for a middle-aged man to have sex with a young teenage girl without it being technically illegal.
