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.

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.
