A random Friday night poll as I watch too much Dr. Who:

[Poll #1139317]

Oh, boring Friday nights without any work functions to go to. My kind of day.

Anita Blake/Torchwood (the fandoms, not the characters getting orgistic)

Ohgod. I have a scary mental image of Captain Jack having to venture into Anita's crotch to rescue his poor team. Ianto would be outside holding the rope, while timing him with a stopwatch. XD

It's not that bad :P In fact, it won't even involve Anita at all. I'm having a very hard time writing her these days (which bodes ill for Inevitable, sadly)

That's pretty sad. Partly because Inevitable may not be finished, but mostly because you've put so much work in it that it seems a shame you're having a tough time writing Anita and might not finish. Hopefully you'll get your Anita mojo back. Any idea why it's so tough?

I'll get Inevitable finished, but what I discovered in my recent attempt to get back to the story is that recent AB canon has made me completely unsympathetic to the person Anita has become. And that impacts the stories I write.

Also, the little dust-up in Jan. 2007 (my mini-rant is here: http://mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com/229778.html) really hit my writing. Since then, I've been hard pressed to write any Anita Blake of substance (and the Anita in Dawning Light is really rather OOC at this point, when compared with the books).

I think this is the first time when my opinion of a character has seriously gone down-hill after reading the author/creator's POV. It's sad but true.

So if Anita in the remaining chapters of Inevitable seems less like the character in the books, that's just the way the chips will fall.

I felt that way about Anita's character for a while (in fact, my own small Anita fic attempts have resulted in her dying in amusing manners both times). If it means anything, one of the reasons I love reading your Anita Blake stuff is because you write the characters how they used to be to me. I used to really like Anita, and to be able to like her in your fics is a fantastic thing.

The wank last year really left a bad taste in my mouth. This makes your fics more amazing, because I found them after that, and was able to enjoy the Anita Blake that was rather than what LKH has made the series into. I thank you for that.
