There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
If she can't write the character honestly anymore, maybe she should kill him off or have him move to Mars.
Problem is, she's written it into canon that if Richard dies, Jean-Claude and Anita probably do, too.
No worries. Next book, Anita will develop her Time-Traveling Self-Resurrection Spell. Now with extra sex!
Note, however, that Brust said in 2002 (same FAQ):
No character in the Vlad novels is secretly another character in the Vlad novels, at least that I know of.
This has turned out to be more than a little not-true.
What's that in reference to, Betsy?
Sethra is Kiera.
Betsy, have I told you yet how much I love your tag right now? So damned appropriate.
A-ha, Betsy. I wonder if he knows. Or knew then.
I went to the bookstore tonight and managed to leave with only one book, which must be a small miracle for me, but I had a coupon for only one book. I bought a new book by Helen Fielding, Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination. I haven't read it yet, but I thought I would mention it in case there are any fans out there.
A very, very long time (probably close to two years) ago I sent my copy of Reading the Vampire Slayer out on a merry trip of the US so various Buffistas could read it. Can someone tell me where it is now? It was a fairly short list of people so I'm guessing it's vaguely near the end, and if it's sent back to the address I was using at the time, I'll never see it again.
Jen, synchronicity. I just got off the phone with Roz Kaveney, about two minutes ago. She's got the new edition coming out shortly, I believe.
If she can't write the character honestly anymore, maybe she should kill him off or have him move to Mars.
who says she's not writing the character honestly? people change. relationships change. personally, i think that richard's got his head in his ass, and I hope that he'll get tired of the bullshit and come on out, but, just like in real life, he may not.
