Quoth Laurell K. Hamilton, discussing the fact that there won't be an Anita Blake tv series (which was somehow slated for IFC):

It has been frustrating watching other shows in the genre I pioneered go on the air while we didn’t. . .

I'm sure she must be most frustrated at the existence of Blood Ties, a series based on the genre she pioneered that actually had the audacity to rewrite history and magically publish three of Tanya Huff's novels before Guilty Pleasures.

Also from that same post:

I will get to finish choreographing a scene with Anita, Asher, and Jean-Claude the likes of which I have never attempted before.

My first thought, based on how much LKH has attempted in recent years, is that this can only involve a muzzle, a three-pronged strap-on harness, and an alpaca. After that, she's pretty much done.

Actually... I think book 12 covered that. ;P

And I admit it. I read Anita and Merry. I like the Merry series far more but will still continue to read both for as long as they keep coming out. The Anita series became a train wreck many books back but... damnit... it's still a fun read. :P

Random: Love Blood Ties, just started watching it.

Don't you mean, a... were-alpaca!!!1!?

..I have never read an Anita Blake book ever and I think I probably would for a were-alpaca.

"I will get to finish choreographing a scene with Anita, Asher, and Jean-Claude the likes of which I have never attempted before."

So she's writing a scene with no sex in it?

No, no - the first couple of Anita Blake books, she was saving herself.

Close....

No emo drama and no grammatical errors or misspellings.

Never attempted before!

hahahahah! No, there will actually be a plot instead of sexsexsex!! I mean, ardeur.

Elitist swine. Go back to your New York Times bestsellers.

You mean they decided they aren't going to start airing porn?

And somehow, she doesn't seem to get this.

Bear in mind, I enjoy Hamilton's books for what they are...but yeah, no chance in hell they will ever end up on television (unless it's cable). Now, a movie? Maybe.

Marvel publishes a comic-version of her books. A bad comic sure, but nonetheless. IFC has shown itself willing to air sex, violence and nudity in the past...

"bad" doesn't even begin to cover it.

[trochee.livejournal.com]

a terrible, terrible comic-version (http://www.the-isb.com/?cat=91).

I don't think any network or cable station would touch any of LKH's stuff, much less carry it.

I don't know. I have a feeling she has done the muzzle and alpaca already. hehe

"What do you call an act like that?"

"The Aristocrats!"

Oh, LKH.
