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.

AN OLD FRIEND'S REACTION TO L HAMILTON

"I feel as if glass shards were being pounded up my urethra"

My own is not so severe but I have never been able to read more than about 20 pages of any of her books.

You might try and see if a sex change op really hurts your concept.

Since my interest in HP fanfic is of a low order of visibilty I'd be interested in seeing what you do with BtVS. Ever done any crossover?

I was a fan of Anita Blake back when she was a Catholic virgin. I even got to write an essay for a book of Anita Blake essays, where I wrote about why Vamires and Werewolves are the romantic heroes nowadays. The author did not like my essay because she objects to romance...but the essay got a lot of notice.

You are right, though, that she really could be a villain now.

Nice.

(Also I am in favor of Buffy-related projects generally. :D)
