On a related note

What should go on a Top Ten "In retrospect, what the hell were we thinking" list of once-popular SF?

Who or what is Laurenn J. Framingham? Googling revealed nothing.

She writes a popular series about an ostensible vampire slayer. Laurenn (or Laura) J. Framingham is how Chris of the Invincible Super Blog munges her name.

I was wondering about that too; I knew who he was talking about and at first I thought that might be her real name, but it seems no one else uses it. Did he ever explain why he's munging it? It doesn't even look insulting to me.

It might be just apotropaic magic to ward off the attention of someone who has the vanity to google his/her own name. On the other hand, he doesn't munge Anita Blake's name, so... maybe not.
