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?

100 yrs from now, someone will stumble across the Anita Blake series, see it's copyright has expired and take up the universe as a 'Historical Detective Thriller'.

In it, we will see that Anita was an unreliable narrator. And that she'd been horrendously injured in the head in in one of the last two or so good books in the series. Everything after that was 'Anita Blake, Brain Dead Lackey Toy. And that she was kept complacent by giving her 'toys' to sooth her brain damaged aurdeur siezures. And she was the one putting names and faces to them.

Meanwhile, she was the slight embarassment in the corner, frantically touching herself, but who could raise the dead on command.

Anita as JC' powerful court jester.

Maybe the future writer will throw in something about how madness is close to psychic power and that's why Anita could sense Marmee Noir waking up - which was another good reason to keep her around.

... I would invent time travel for that.
