the advantage of occasionally reading stuff you know you are going to hate

[fpb]

I hate the whole Anita Blake concept, from beginning to end. But it has given me the missing bit for my abandoned Buffy project, "...if all the heroes lose?" - just give Anita a change of sex and she will make a perfect villain. In fact, you don't even need the change of sex, but it was established that the villain of ...IATHL? is male.
