Preternatural creatures weigh in?

One of the arguments I have been a part of is how Anitaverse rules have been broken so that Laurell can turn Laurita into the most powerfulest, speshulest necrophiliac necromancer EVAR. One of the most blatant broken rules is that you cannot be a lycanthrope (or therianthrope, for amamelina) and vampire at the same time. Someone countered by pointing out the Mother of All Darkness was both.

Now, I'm completely convinced that Laurell invented the Mother of All Darkness just to be a precedent so she'd have an excuse to make Laurita all-powerful. And I'm ignoring the whole immunity-to-diseases-when-you're-a-human-servant fuck-up. My question is, does anyone remember if a vampire (who would obviously know about Marmée Noire) in a past book ever stated that you cannot be both?

So yeah, Anita was acquiring Nifty New Kool Powerz in every novel, but that was back when I still thought LKH knew what she was doing and it was leading to a point of some sort.

I guess I just never liked Anita well enough to be interested in her becoming this "most powerful necromancer in the history of the world" sort of chick. When I first read that, I rolled my eyes, thinking "great, that's just what she needs."

I used to read for the other characters, but now no one can withstand the Crotch of Doom.

Well, she didn't even have to become the greatest necromancer ever--just the first one in living (undead?) memory to survive long enough to come into her full powers. Which could have been interesting if done right: the vampires get an object lesson on not necessarily being at the top of the supernatural food chain. The key phrase, of course, being "if done right."

but now no one can withstand the Crotch of Doom.

Well, I can't argue that, at least. Alas, poor Edward.

He is not Edward! He is Podward! The REAL Edward is secretly in talks with Richard, Ronnie, and Dolph to get Anita and Micah whacked.
