After finishing DM I decided that I needed to go back and try to remember WHY I liked the series in the first place. I decided to go for OB just because I can't remember what happened in most of that book, but I remembered that Edward had a starring role.

I'm only a few chapters into it, but gawd. Anita has character. There's actually a plot! She's doing something besides fucking! She raised zombies and was working with the cops!

*cries* When is the old Anita going to come back to us?

But now I am starting to wonder what Edward has been up to since we last saw him. I think it would be interesting if Ted DID get married. He'd send an invite to Anita and she'd have to bring her harem of men. It MIGHT actually be a good story if LKH could bring back personalities to her characters. Edward would be there as Ted, pissed as hell over Anita's harem and dealing with trying to figure out what he should do. Would he let Ted slip enough so that he had to show Donna what he really was by trying to kill as many of the harem as possible, or would he just let the rage build up during the wedding and vow to take down Anita and the crew some other day? After all, in OB it's mentioned that Edward likes hunting the dangerous pray. I can't think of anyone more dangerous in the Antiaverse now than Anita.

There's the end to the series right there.

I think you should take over and write it--then the torture would be over with. LOL

Hehehe.

Ah, yes, so many idea for the story. However, in the process there would be "spin offs" created. Edward would let Richard live, and the stories would progress through Richard's eyes... For a little while, anyways.

I always thought Edward should have his own spin-off. It would be a return to the lovely blood and guts we've all missed ^.^ And, well, obviously I'm all for things from RAZ's pov. Too bad writing isn't like being Ulfric, someone could battle LKH for the book series and become the new author.

I was thinking about Edward's pov, too, but I really like him being the man of mystery that he is. I don't want to know why or how he started. Plus writing a character that tends to be emotionless would get boring. The only way it could work is if we tried to figure out his emotions towards Donna and her kids, and that would make him sound too much like Antia.

YES, I think the mystery is a huge part of Edward's char. Though, a third person POV would work, too. First person is never as great as most people think it is, imho. You need to be so careful with it, because that means everything is filtered through the character's own feelings and beliefs.

Yeah, let's keep him without too many emotions! ::laugh:: Or at least without an emotional crisis.

That would be better than what we have now. LOL
