YMMV / Amanda McKittrick Ros

• Overshadowed by Controversy: Her reputation for writing some of the most excessive Purple Prose in history to the point of complete incomprehensibility, making personal attacks against her critics and Dear Negative Reader practices, insisting that her writings are unironic masterpieces, and The Inklings (which included Tolkien and Lewis) hosting friendly competitions amongst themselves where the winner was the one who could read her writings aloud the longest without laughing, have become far more well-known than anything pertaining to her plots or characters.
• Spiritual Successor: These days, The Eye of Argon is the subject of the "who can read the longest along without laughing" game.
