Dubious Trends

I was cruising the Web last night and found this article about current trends in urban fantasy and romance.  I think this blogger has pinpointed the current problem exactly.  Everything she mentions in her article is something I've seen time after time in both genres, and I'd have to agree with her; each of these trends is becoming very, very old.  For writers, this is definitely worth a look, and publishers might do well to take a look themselves.
