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.

That was amazing. I was afraid when I first started reading that it would bleak and grim and horrible, but--you took it in a completely different direction, and it was wonderful, in the literal sense: full of wonder. I actually still have tears in my eyes.

So thank you for that!

(Also, thank you for this bit: "Willow, soon to become the world's most powerful sorceress, stood in the shadow of the battle and felt, even where she did not see, the greatness and the glory of what was taking place. So she was cured of an illness she did not even know she had..."!!!!)
