GalleyCat vs. Intern Alexis:
Because You Demanded It!

intern-alexis.jpgEarlier this week, we asked GalleyCat readers to help us pick an archnemesis who could deliver a huge audience when he or she published an article about how upset our scorn made him or her feel and everybody surfed over here to see what the fuss was about. You chose, by a wide margin, Intern Alexis (right), the Gawker contributor who writes that site's critiques of the New York "Look Book" and their "Reading About Reading" series poking fun at the NYT Book Review. The latter of which would be a fitting target for a series of provocatively acerbic putdowns...if it hadn't always been so damn right about where the NYTBR sometimes goes wrong, and if Jessica Coen hadn't emailed me earlier this week with the news that they stopped running the feature at the end of August. Curses! Our grand scheme may have been foiled before it could even begin! Oh, sure, we could start taking shots at your runner-up choice, Laura Miller of Salonwe've had some practice, after all—but I can't imagine you'd be willing to settle for second-best. So we'll see what we can do about this Alexis situation; maybe I'll put on a blonde wig, call myself Crystal, and we can settle this fight old school.


Here's how the voting broke down:
