I really wish it were possible if someone was messing up a franchise that someone else could write it better and get all the credit and kudos and money. Somehow it's just not enough to run circles around LKH in fanfiction. I'd love to see her truly threatened by someone else not locked into a selfish self-wanking point of view in exploring the universe.
It makes me wonder just how close could you get to mocking her in an original work? How close could you get to exploring a similar world? Would it have to be a strict parody? Or could you mention the brain-damanged Vampire Executioner who wonders the streets dirty and out of touch with reality and occasionally turning tricks on people with no scruples?
..has anyone here read Kit Whitfield's "Bareback" ("Benighted" in the US-edition)? Because the protagonist is female, somewhat short, with lots of scars and a bad attitude. And has other points in common with Anita that I cannot write 'cause.. SPOILER.
I just read the italian translation and it is..pleasant. Well conceived, even.
