Actually, now I've gone back to the early chapters if ...IATHL?, which I published in this LJ starting July 2005, I can see all sorts of thematic and plot connections between what I did there and the idea of an Anita Blake-like complex of villains. I am going to see if I can develop an outline and then take it from there, and I will try to break down thematic and ideological elements into narrative points in order to have a developing plot.
