Out of curiousity, I was lurking about on LKH's official board, on the Ask Laurell section, and a hopeful fan asked whether or not there will ever be an Anita/Merry crossover. Apparently the official word is that no, not gonna happen, because a) two completely different alternate universes and b) according to Laurell the fae don't exist in Anita's world anyway.
Let me say that again: the Anitaverse officially has no fae.
Um, except NO. LKH wrote an ENTIRE BOOK with fae characters and a fae backstory and just generally lots and lots of fae-ness. And yes, it's an Anita Blake book! Available right at your local bookstore! Yet official word is that it never happened. Nope, whole months of Anita's life aren't canon, nothing to see, move along.
In other words, she just jossed Bloody Bones.

So while it's entirely possible that we could see AB #40+ (by then I expect Anita will have animated Jesus himself, and then had sex with him), I expect that LKH will have moved on to bigger and more ludicrous things long before that.
I seldom or never saw books with so many mistakes.
*snerk* You, my friend, have obviously never read independently published Xena fan fic, aka uberfic. I love Missy Good, but I could spend a whole day going through Tropical Storm with a red pen. The book's good, but oy.
