If I have learned one important lesson from this whole JLA vs. LKH blog dust up gossip fest (that still continues… Dear Author<\/A> featured it in their link round up today), it’s that people friggin love Cyrus.<\/p>\n

I’m still not sure why.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, there are tons of “bad boys” that I love. I’ve even blogged about them before.<\/A> But I don’t really understand what’s so appealing about Cyrus. Maybe because I’ve spent so much time writing him. And maybe because I had to call upon all my selfish, negative personality traits to cobble him together. Cyrus is the kind of person I would be if I had just a little bit less conscience. You know, minus the statutory rape and child murder.<\/p>\n

But I must be crazy, because I miss the bastard. I would absolutely like to write him again. And from the messages I’ve gotten from some of you, I think you’d like me to write him again, as well. Unfortunately, I can’t just write him, because he doesn’t belong to me anymore, and the people he does belong to don’t feel there would be a readership for him. So, I’m starting a grassroots thing right now.<\/p>\n

If you love Cyrus, if you want to read about him again, leave a comment here to that effect. Have your friends who don’t read my blog but like Cyrus come do it, as well. I want to see if I’m right, that there are people out there who would send my publisher some dollars for another few hundred pages of Cyrus.<\/p>\n

I’ve already found out how powerful word of mouth can be when I open my mouth wide enough. Let’s see if the same goes for Cyrus. Leave your comments. Honk if you love Cyrus. And if there are no honks, then I can put him to his final rest on my “to do” list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
