A: Thank you! He grew on me, and then he grew character traits. It happens. I mean, you developed Gil from one and a half lines of throwaway joke by JKR! That was at least as impressive.

B: No, really, ask away -- pick whoever you want from MM.

C: The first three Wraeththu books were bloody brilliant, and something of my core fandom that got me into LJ. However, number four and five read like fan fiction: - number four followed the stories of some secondary characters from the original books, and number five was a strange lesson in sex magic that was so utterly unrelated to anything that could possibly matter to anybody who is not Andras Toth, I simply didn't read the sixth. Storm Constantine's treatment of fan fiction is exemplary and very appropriate to the internet age, but actually, once you have given a world or a part of it officially to the fans, better invent a new one. She has written many utterly brilliant and quite bizarre worlds that are not Wraeththu. I do fear, from what wiebke tells, that Storm's brains have been eaten by WoW and will not be spat up again.-
