I really liked the first book of Anita Blake because it did such a wonderful job of twisting the cliche. It was a fun romp. And it really pisses me off that it went on this downward spiral to being the single most cliched vampire story I have ever heard of along with being gratuitous porn with such a very wimpy heroine. Either she needs fix her life or she needs to stop complaining about it. Or as a distant third option, she could admit she's not as kick-ass as she likes to think and she can't fix it on her own so she needs to get help. And her police friends who've all turned against her need to stop being idiots and stage an intervention. Agh!

As you can probably tell, that series pisses me off. But I do like the fandom.

Anyway, can you imagine if Duncan were confronted by the fact that his friend is holy because of his past? I think it might break his mind just a little bit.

And I have a vague idea that Methos and Belle Morte were lovers before Christianity. Maybe Belle Morte was Cassandra's predecessor before Methos was forced to either cast her off or burn her with his ill-gotten holiness.
