Blogflog: These are not the themes you seek. *Jedi wave*

I just woke up, and behold, LKH has gifted me with something so very, very beautiful.

I blinked blearily through the first part -- blah, blah, comics as GP#7 marked the end of Brett Booth's art. From #8 onward we get Ron Lim. I remember a while back that there was an announcement about this and this is the reason why GP#7 has been delayed. That, and apparently Stacie M. Ritchie is no longer doing the script adaptions, but nobody saw fit to mention her departure.

Apparently, Blood Noir been fully edited and will be sent back to the publisher in New York (PH34R!) and LKH has been working on Merry Gentry #7.

And succeeded in coming up with a title.

Brace yourselves.

When [Blood Noir] goes off to New York, I get to work on Merry #7, which finally has a title; SWALLOWING DARKNESS.

The bold is completely my emphasis. My only reaction to reading this is, "OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD."

What a wonderful way to wake up, eh?

We're putting the title in the fan club newsletter that should be going out in about five days, and we're putting the new title in it. But I couldn't wait to share. MISTRAL'S KISS, A LICK OF FROST, now, SWALLOWING DARKNESS; I sense a theme.

The first four books had their theme; A KISS OF SHADOWS, A CARESS OF TWILIGHT, SEDUCED BY MOONLIGHT, and a STROKE OF MIDNIGHT. It would be nicely linear if we did four books with the men's name theme, then four more with another theme, but the name theme may go for more than four books. I think it will. I'm already working on new ideas using some of the other men's names. We'll see.

THIS IS NOT THE THEME YOU SEEK! *Jedi wave*

SWALLOWING. DARKNESS. WTF. THESE GOGGLES DO NOTHING.

Discuss.

I like Rhys as a character. Just not as a death god.

Here's one my coworker suggested (but we'll have to add a character)

It would be right up Hamilton's ally ^_^

Oh Rhys is just a likable, but I'm really curious about Hawthorne. Now that would have been interesting.

We haven't really seen Rhys use his power except for the one time during the mirror call. but then I think it's not easy keeping a character interesting without making him look like a creepy serial killer kind of type ;-)

Sigh. Hamilton writes pretty interesting character, she just needs to have someone else write the story.

I'm going to friend tomorrow with a pretty imaginative dirty mind, see if she comes up with something.
