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

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.

A good bit of it needs rewriting now, of course.

IATHL

Read through the 1st 5; very promising though Rupert's PC preachiness about homophobia to Dawn gave me a case of sore buns. The flight over the Grand Canyon and Houston brought back memories.

I'm touched by HP'S relations w/LL. Is she from the canonical Potterverse?

Entirely NOT. Laura was a childhood friend of mine

I'm especially glad that the flight over the South-West worked for you, whom I take to be from those parts. It was entirely made up, with an atlas and memories of photos and documentaries. I've never been anywhere near.

I didnt think I remembered you mentioning any trip to flyover country.

I had assumed youd been spending time on Google Map.

(taking a ridiculously grandfatherly attitude:) Google Map didn't yet exist in them days, son. Just a good old-fashioned and very detailed atlas (which had cost me a fortune in times gone by, but then I love maps).

That's why I said that the grandfatherly attitude was ridiculous. A.O. 1962 - let's make that an older brother, shall we?
