DragonCon is rapidly approaching and Laurell will be making her yearly appearance. She hopes to meet as many of her fans as possible during her panels and signing sessions. Her first panel is An Hour with Laurell K Hamilton on Friday August 29th, in the Augusta Ballroom of the Westin. It is a full hour dedicated to answering questions from you guys and is, without a doubt, one of her favorite panels every year. Do you have a burning question about Anita or Merry? Are you an aspiring writer looking for advice on navigating the publishing world? Have you ever wondered what Laurell's writing process looks and feels like? Here is where you have an opportunity to ask directly and get the answer you have been waiting for. We can't wait to see everyone! -MM Jess

"And if I did have anything "burning" related to either character, I'd go to a doctor."
I understand WHY no one ever gets STDs in LKHverse, but yeah, I'd advise that anyway. You might have gotten a ~NEW SUPERPOWER~ to set things on fire with your crotch, and that could turn awkward very quickly. ;)

"Pretty sure I already understand her "process":"
Nonsense. ASOL was slightly more interesting than that.

Add "3b) Add a scene's worth of new plot and rehash it at least 4x" and "4a) Forget about all the plot introduced in 3b in favor of describing babies' name meanings like this is a bad Harry Potter fanfiction".

:P

I have to wonder about supernaturals with STDs - just because they aren't manifesting symptoms doesn't mean they aren't carriers. Now that I think about it, that would make a good plot (or at least a throwaway line) in an Unmasked UF series - "My Vampire Boyfriend Gave Me Herpes" or something.

I'll give you 3b and half of 4a - just strike the baby name bit. We're talking about her whole process, not just MG. I submit the following revision:

4a) Proceed to ignore all plot-related developments (either new or ongoing), effectively returning all characters to their starting positions.

OH DEAR GAD. Oh, that is awful on SO many levels. Vampires are FESTERING pits of disease if they're carriers. They must carry every blood-borne disease known to humankind. MONSTROUS health hazards. Oh jeez...

Fair enough. :P
