Star Trek collides with Anita?

[gweneth-syeira.livejournal.com]

First posting *blink* I think? Yeah. So uhhh, please don't kill me if I do anything wrong in this posting. But I'm struggling through The Harlequin and upon hitting chapter 17, I couldn't help but shake the feeling that LKH's ever so unoriginal pee-brained mind of bestest thoughts eva is making an attempt to not only steal from other vampire-fantasy related works....but now sci-fi?

Captain James T. Kirk Anita Blake ... oh wow. Little Anita.


Red shirts now declare food for ze awesomeness ardeur where black shirts are just bodyguards (for now). For Trekkies, red shirt is a sign of d0000m. I can't help but to think the same in this instance for those unfortunate to get beamed up into ze Crotch of d00mnation.

Anyone else thought this?

And yeah, I'm sorry Kirk, but omg! DUDE! Anita is Kirk; only her problem is she can't get enough humpage compared to Kirk's little problem of always losing his shirt

Fandoms are no longer sacred!

*shuts up and goes back to stuffing face with raspberry chip royal ice cream*

er ... thought what? I'm not sure I follow. I also didn't try to read Harlequin. But LKH did write one of those Star Trek books:

Apparently in Harlequin, Anita's harem of ardeur-bait wear red shirts, much like the Red Shirts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshirt_%28character%29) of Star Trek, the poor dudes who get sent on away missions as cannon fodder.

So, Anita's red shirts are sent to a similar doom in Anita's vajayjay.

Yeah, but the shirts were yellowish by the time she wrote a ST novel. ;) She made it pretty obvious in Harlequin -- I only read it once, but my first thought was "Yeah, they're doomed. Not to die, but to have sex with Anita the Diety."

Wasn't there some line somewhere where someone points out the ST connection, in case it went over the heads of everybody reading?

I sort of wonder what she'll cannibalize next. Given her recent use of "ken," perhaps Anita will become the new gunslinger, with an ever-expanding ka-tet of long-haired femmemen. I'm shivering here.

Don't even say it, please. That is just too horrible. She'll suck Cuthbert into the vayjayjay of doom first, I just know it. Oh, poor Cuthbert!

[daphne-gateau.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I lol'd that in any universe the red shirts are doomed.

Even though I had heard about the red shirts before I read the book I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it on the page. Doesn't it just come across as the silliest thing ever? It reads like parody. As silly as it sounds out of context I assure every Lasher the red shirts are even *dumber* in the context of the book. It takes a gift to make something sound even more random in context than it does out.


Harry Potter thoughts along the same lines as this and the Buffy-verse names....

Mini HL Spoiler follows...

Did anyone think of Harry Potter when they read about the were-tigers? She's got this whole bunch of pointless exposition on the were-tiger community in reference to Christine (I think she's the local tigress) that comes out of nowhere. The only purpose I saw was so she could work the actual term 'pureblood' into her mythology too.

The were-tigers are isolationist, arrogant and have a mentality that mirrors the wizard conflict in HP almost exactly. Tiger lycanthropy can be inherited, and it's preferable to be born of two genetically tiger parents. There is a caste system detailing different levels of purity. They also are big on inbreeding and arranged marriages. She adds in some weretigers want to rebel and buck the system, but after she gets this out... we never hear about it again. Of course.

Dude. I SO hope Anita doesn't turn out to be a were-tiger queen better known as the Crotch that Doomed.

Sounds like a windup for something, all right. Dang.

And LOL on the "pureblood" thing. Up next: references to "Stargate SG-1," and Anita shags a new boytoy who is the lost wandering king of an ancient city blah blah blah...

[lyo.livejournal.com]

Maybe she could have the super special gene of the Ancients, and only she can operate the technology they left behind, too, while we're at it--once she gets over her OMG TECH phase. ;)

[easol.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh, yes. That sounds like it -- Oma Desala visits her to let her know that because she's the prettiest, speshulest bestest EVER, the godlike Ancients have decided that only she can save the world!

(My apologies to all Stargate fans who don't get the references, but you probably get the gist of it)

If Oma gets sucked into the Crotch of Doom, then I will cry. Seriously.

If Danny gets sucked into the Crotch of Doom, I will wail, sob, and go through the five stages of grieving.

Worst thing is, she'll probably try to write it off as an 'homage' to the series, in honor of the last season/episode.

I cannot wait to see what Anita's gutter thinks of Teal'c (Ty'llc? Tll'c? How is that SPELLED?).

[easol.livejournal.com]

Don't forget Jack. If he got sucked into the Crotch of doom, I'd have to hire a red-shirted hit masn squad.

Teal'c? He likes REAL strong women, not whiny facsimiles of them. ;) And he doesn't take infidelity nearly as well as Richard. ;)

[amamelina.livejournal.com]

f Danny gets sucked into the Crotch of Doom, I will wail, sob, and go through the five stages of grieving.

I'll be right next to you with a case of alcohol to ease the pain. Not Danny!

And it's spelled Teal'c. Says so in like season one. *grins* I rewatched that season just this morning.

Of course, if they had an honest Stargate/ABVH crossover, Vala would totally pwn Anita. That would be teh bestest fight evar. Carter could kick Anita's ass too, for that matter, but Vala would have lots more fun with it. Then she'd grab Jean-Claude and play "out-vamp the vamp". ;) And that would be vamp pr0n worth reading. ;)

All I can say is that she bette leave Jim Butcher alone if she's gonna be ripping off other fandoms... thing is, I can see a talking skull being right up her alley...

[easol.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't really work, though -- she can't have sex with an intellect spirit in a skull.

[kyalesyin.livejournal.com]

You are aware of what happens when Bob gets let out of the skull, right?
