Continuity in Anita-verse

[roguetailkinker.livejournal.com]

I've been re-reading all the AB:VH books lately to make sure the fanfic I'm working on fits canon. But how the heck am I supposed to do that when LKH doesn't even keep her continuity straight? I could let it go that Belle Morte's hair mysteriously changes from reddish-brown to black and back again, because that's a pretty minor detail.

However, I put in my fic that Damian was the Dragon's line, because it fit the powers that he and she-who-made-him have, and I was under the impression he wasn't one of Belle's vamps. Then I came across a mention in one book that he is Belle Morte's line. It makes no sense, but hey, LKH is The Author, so okay. I went back and changed it all in my fic.

Now I've come across a place in Incubus Dreams where both Damian and Jean-Claude specifically say that Damian is NOT Belle's line.

SO WHICH IS IT?!

Narcissus in Chains; because I just won't let that horse die

So, today I began choosing the books I'm going to be taking to my new dorm in a months time and I ran across the old copy of Narcissus in Chains that I rescued from my town's public library soon-to-be-trash bin a few years ago and I couldn't help myself; I actually flipped through the pages. I'm convinced these books have some sort of magnetic pull that entrances people for a few minutes. That's the only thing that can explain their continued success.

Anyway, I ended up wondering about some of the plot points that LKH pretty much forgot about. I only tried to read Ceruleans Sins after that, and I must admit it scarred my psyche, so I maybe she did mention some of this stuff and I just wasn't brave enough to wade through the horrifying attempts at a JC/Asher/Anita "threesome" (JC and Asher need the assistance of a woman to fuck? WTH?). So, I ask those of you who were strong minded enough to deal with the hell that were the next books, did LKH ever do anything with the following plots even if it was only at the "epilogue" at the end of all the books:

The thing with Dolph and his son marrying a vampire. That was the only part of Narcissus in Chains were I was actually interested in what was going on instead of just morbidly fascinated at the sheer badness of the book. Did Anita ever meet with Dolph's wife like she promised to do?

The werefox Jill. And while we're on the subject, why did LKH decide to characterize foxes as cowards? In all the legends I've ever read, foxes were either powerful tricksters and villains or sacred animals. Did LKH do her fox research from Dora the Explorer?

And no, I will not be taking that book with me to college.

Inspired by the upcoming Jason novel I’ve started a little something. However I can’t bear the thought of dragging myself through the books again to find some things. They aren’t massively important things but I thought you might remember. Can anyone tell me what Jason, Asher, Nathaniel and Richard look like?

 

I tried looking it up and found a massive Anita Blake site. But then I noticed they’d used some of the beautiful Castlevania artwork by Ayami Kojima for the layout and ran off crying. My poor babies T__T
