Inevitable 6 update

[mhalachai]

Chapter six of Inevitable is posted. There will be a slow down in updates because:
a) the rest aren't written;
b) I aim to finish Masks this week and to get the next part of Mind the Gap out (and it needs rewrites because Anita's being really whiny);
c) I am presenting at a conference this weekend and I should probably get prepped for that; and
d) I'm taking more time with editing these chapters.

Now, back to work!

This was very good. Though I really want the next chapter of Mind the Gap. Which I started last night and finished this morning. I told you that Inevitable was compelling. Well, that's nothing to Mind the Gap. Admittedly, I sort of skimmed the non-Anita stuff. I haven't watched all of Buffy yet so some things didn't make sense. But the Anita pieces made perfect sense. I thought the ardeur scene with Faith was particularly well done. I also thought that they were very in character with one another. Thanks for today's late excuse.

Thanks so much! Yes, Mind the Gap has been my mini-epic of late. I originally started it as a "Dawn's birthday includes stripers!" but then she got kidnapped and then other stuff happened... complications, as they say.

The next chapter is the aftermath for Anita, which should be pretty interesting. This scene's been in my head since almost the beginning.

You're killing me! I can't wait!

Hey, at least now I know which I'm working on when I get home :) Mind the Gap it is.

Thank you! I will be eternally grateful. My boss on the other hand...

"You know, when I told you in April that Asher was giving me French lessons, I was using that as a euphemism for Asher teaching me to speak French."

I love it =)

Good luck with the conference!

*snicker* Yeah, I worked long and hard on that line. I really couldn't help myself. Playing on "french lessons" was too precious.

Thanks for the luck!

Hey, I was reading Inevitable over at TtH, but I didn't really want to register just to leave a review, so I went searching for another place to leave one and decided to come here.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying the story. I love Anita and Harry, but I've never really read a decent crossover, and, knowing me, if I wrote one it would probably just end up being a whole lot of Harry/Jason/Nathaniel smut and no real story. Do you know of any other decent Harry Potter/Anita Blake crossovers? I'm always on the look out for recs.

Yeah so, really like it, love that twist with Damien, although I am wondering how you're explaining it cause didn't they say in the books that vampires over a certain age were sterile? Or is that just mostly sterile? eh, it's been too long since I really read those books.

Also, are vampires really legal in England? Is that in the books? Or did I just misread what you wrote?

hmm, Where is the rest of Harry's wizarding stuff? Is it at the Dursleys, so he will have to go back there to get it? Or did he leave it at Grimmauld Place or something?

I can't wait to here about how you're going to explain the differences in were culture. Is it just the way the wizarding world does weres, or all of Europe?

I'm sorry for all the questions, I suppose it's just a mix of my inquisitive nature and my betaness showing through. I hope you're not offeneded. *blush* I actually have more, but I think that's enough for now.

Do you know of any other decent Harry Potter/Anita Blake crossovers?

I have seen one, and I'm still trying to dig it up out of TTH. When I find it, I'll let you know. But I think I've seen a grand total of three AB/HP fics to date. Not a very much used cross (which I think is why I made Inevitable: I love a challenge)

... cause didn't they say in the books that vampires over a certain age were sterile?

In Incubus Dreams, it says something to the effect that it is highly likely that Damien was sterile, but Anita expresses a slight sliver of doubt about that. It's a miniscule thing, but a plot point none the less.

Also, are vampires really legal in England? Is that in the books?

In Incubus Dreams, we learn that vampires are legal in England as well as the USA. No indication on how long, so I was vauge in my story.

As for your question about Harry's stuff, he left it with Ron before the trip. That will be addressed in the next part when Harry writes home.

And the question on were culture, I'll be getting to that in... well a lot of parts. But it will be addressed.

I actually have more questions...

Ask away. I may not be able to answer them (trade secrets and all) but feel free. After all, I love to talk about what I'm writing.
