So uh I know I'm kind of necroing a topic and I apologize but I just started reading the first Bloodhound Files book and I am liking it ok, except the main character keeps identifying people as werewolves and then later as Vampires and vice versa... is that some kind of unreliable narrator thing or just a mistake? On the train near the beginning in Japan she identifies the detective as a Japanese Vampire and then a few pages later describes his wolf form. I thought I was confusing characters but I checked and it's definitely there.

I'm betting that Maeve's orders to the knights mostly centered around killing people... Since we know she hasn't been doing her proper job for a while from her "I will never again be your little hunting falcon" jab at Mab I think she'd been perverting the winter Lady and Winter Knight gig for a while know. Be interesting to see more of what the Winter Lady's true role is in helping to hold off Armageddon. Might have to wait a book or two though.

And Maeve/Nemesis and or Titania knew that how?

I think if Maggie had anything it died off like the Jaguar men who were half vamps. They had lived a long long time though so when the spirit holding them up died they aged alot in a short time and died. Maggie is young and wasn't being kept alive by the predator spirit or whatever so she wasn't impacted by its removal. It's probably why she was asleep though.

Still mentally blocked from writing on my main story and to keep myself from re-writing parts I've already finished I want to start a new project. I've got what to me sounds like a solid set of guidelines and conflicts but I can't decide on placement.

Masquerade - hidden world right alongside modern day earth
Broken Masquerade - hidden world has been exposed or gets exposed
Alternate Universe/world - A world like ours but with the different being magic or whatever.

I'm hesitant to use the masquerade type story partially because its been done so much but partially because I feel like its getting harder and harder to justify why someone wouldn't find out about the world or why it would be secret. Also if you keep everything hidden there is only so much damage you can cause and things you can change before it becomes silly if people don't notice.

What say you all about the options? What have you seen too often or too recently? How do you feel about them? Just trying to get some ideas that aren't my own...

So I haven't touched my story since early July... I know I need to start back on it but I'm just not feeling it. Ugh... time to get inspired again.

I banged out a timeline tonight covering roughly 3000 years of history and major conflicts and shifts in political power. Its not anything I'd ever publish or add anywhere but it's helping me get a handle on the backstory of the countries and the motivations of the major players.
