I love the setting, it's one reason I stuck with the Anita Blake books so long after they were obviously getting crappy. My friends and I started up an Anitaverse RP, but one that takes place far, far away from Saint Louis, so that it's highly unlikely that any canon characters will ever show up. It's been funny trying to puzzle out the mechanics of things that LKH never really explained, or explained once and then explained totally differently after she lost the sticky note. We basically cut off the canon after Obsidian Butterfly or so, because things got so inconsistent (and none of the mods wanted to comb the books for the world information like we did with the early ones).

It's a shame that there's such a cool world out there, and all we ever see is the view from between Anita's legs.
