[edit] Don't fight -- merge!

I see there is a revert war going on between User:68.224.177.5 and RickK. Rather than reverting each other, I would suggest that you combine the material contained in both texts, format it for Wiki use for better readability, and also ensure that it's not violating any copyrights. More material is good, but it should be accurate, originally composed (or released by the author under GFDL), and presented in decent paragraphs with proper Wiki formatting. I'd do it myself, but I don't have access to the source materials that are being fought over. — Jeff Q 06:50, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

After the anonymous user dumped their text in yet again (which appears to be vaguely related to the official bio), I have attempted to re-write it and incorporate it into the flow of the article. Maybe this will stop whoever it is who so desperately needs to spread the word as to Laurell K. Hamilton's favourite films :-) --Phil | Talk 18:16, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

Yaaargh! More crap from the same user and I got hit with an edit conflict and my firewall timed me out 8-( Try again tomorrow. --Phil | Talk 18:28, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Life vs. writing

I was just looking at this quote "There has been conjecture about how Hamilton's divorce affected her writing and the amount of sex therein, but Hamilton has indicated that this is not necessarily true, instead citing her increased antagonism towards how people feel a woman "should" write and what topics are "right." Since sex is often seen as something women are not allowed to enjoy much less write about, the sex rate has increased." from the article.

I wonder if it's considered 'opinion' if i added in something to the effect that she based the character of Anita blake on herself (which she's mentioned multiple times on her personal blog) and the character of Richard on her ex-husband, Gary, which she's also mentioned in an early early interview?

There's also a theory called . F.R.E.D that's been floating around her forum about this divorce vs. books issue. Are we allowed to mention it but not validate it?

[edit] Micah, standalone?

I don't feel that Micah is as much stand-alone as it is a breather from the main plot. It certainly fits the timeline. It as as much part of the "series" as Obsidian Butterfly is.... (I haven't quite finished it, but from what I have read, it fits right after Incubus Dreams). Kyaa the Catlord 13:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sex and Change in the Anita Blake Series

I'm thinking this section belongs more in the Anita Blake Series article. It gives a bit of an overview of how the series has developed (more involvement with monster society and politics, more sex, more magic, et cetera). Shall I move it over? JenKilmer 01:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
