You know, I never used to hear anyone say jump the shark and I never saw it used anyplace other than in discussions about books...but all the sudden, I've heard two or three people use the phrase. Time for another phrase to develop :)

What's next? I don't know. I'd like sex to take a backseat to story and character development, though. My gripe isn't so much about paranormals in general as it is about the glut of whiney vampires, and about how with all of the boinking going on, there's a lot less sexual tension between h/h.
