Some of you might be aware that I am a big fan of the works of Laurell K. Hamilton<\/a>. In particular the “Anita Blake<\/a>” series is pretty cool. Vampires, Werewolves, Changelings and all manner of other beasties seem to inhabit a nice little alternate universe. <\/p>\n Far and away the most useful thing about it all is the frank and cool way she deals with power. The nature of these “other” creatures is usually much closer to power as I understand it than most other “normal” people are. They form packs, they owe fealty, they submit, the rule… they lead. It’s a world primal and raw but still filled with humor and humanity. Oh yea, the sex is really hot too.<\/p>\n Lots of Blood Good stuff.<\/p>\n Anyway, Kimiko pointed me at a thread on her fan clubs message board. Go check it out, below is my reply (I posted it as well).<\/p>\n As a special note to those visiting from the Anita forum, here is a list of links here you might find of use understanding my point…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ed note: I cleaned up the spelling<\/i><\/p>\n One of the things I have always liked about the Anitaverse is the lack of smoke and mirrors surrounding the concepts of dominance and submission. There are few enough places where the concepts are discussed for what they sometimes are – literal dominance, literal submission. <\/p>\n Humans have more animal left in us than many like to admit, and the Anitaverse, with the excuse of the supernatural, gets to explore this concept.<\/p>\n The Anita character feels very honest to me because she sees this and acts on it as she needs to… trying to be as ethical as she can be, but still acting when it is required. <\/p>\n As for the concept of mental health among the characters I will make only a few comments… <\/p>\n BTW – HI! <\/p>\n Ken<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some of you might be aware that I am a big fan of the works of Laurell K.
