Because authors don't get to pick their blurbs and I don't want to expose the author to possible ridicule for something beyond their control.

I think that once an author has been getting published for the better part of a half century, it's probably best to drop the blurbs that refer to them as an exciting new face in science fiction.

I am happy to assist him with realistic to the same extent any random Joss Whedon Buffyverse story is realistic, although certainly on par with the gritty verisimilitude of A.E. van Vogt would do as well.

Once your stuff is out there, you have absolutely no control over which combination of characters fanfickers will ship. In fact, there's probably a corollary of Rule 34 that no matter how insanely inappropriate it would be for the characters to hook up, someone out there is writing fan fiction about it.
