When needing to pin a character down...

Can anyone recommend me a really in character Katara fic? Any pairing.

Ghost Write The Whip?

I just read this article:

And it about made my head explode with "Whhaaa?!" I mean, I know that K.A. Applegate used ghost writers for the later half of her Animorph series. She credited the writers with 'assisting with the outline'. Right. That was when the series declined. I also knew that celebs do it for their biographies, but I had no idea that apparently well respected authors hired ghost writers on the sly. Just... wow. It makes me wonder how much I've read that I've really enjoyed was actually written by who I thought it was.

I betcha the Redwall series is partially ghost written. It all seems a little too canned.

Also, Anne Mccaffrey's style changed drastically through her series (ignoring the ones she "wrote" with her son. I mean, compare the use of language in 'Dragonflight' with 'All The Weyrs of Pern' and tell me they were they same person. Hrumph.

OHHHH! I BET MERCEDES LACKEY HIRES GHOSTWRITERS!!!!!!!!!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! No one can published four books a year (one a quarter) year after year. She is either a machine, ghost writing, or a whole lot better than I think she is. (Probably the last choice.)

I wonder if King has ghostwriters?

Also, I want this job. :P
