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.

Yeah, sort of. More like a mixture between Murdoch, Berlusconi and Richard Branson, because for the purposes of my story he has to be some sort of glamorous media star as well as a billionaire. But I do want to play up all the sides of media and big business corruption - especially the manipulation of glamour, the old game where dreary or actively contemptible people and lifestyles are given a kind of sheen that demands admiration for no rational reason at all.
