The Night World series is about a modern world where witches, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters love secretly along side mortals. The Night World has twos in rules which are 1. Do not allow humans to find out about the Night World and 2. Night World members are forbidden from falling in love with a human. Something in recent times has shifted though, causing members of the night world more frequently to find soulmates in humans. Each book gives us a Night World member and a human couple who fall in love in with varying reaction to it (some are more open to human love interests than others, some even are well known human haters). Aside from this, another interesting idea in the book (that differs from even other LJ Smith vampire books) is the idea of both made and born vampires. The born vampires, called Lamia, are just that. They can eat food and age, until they decide not to. Made vampires are pretty stereotypical vampires, with the added detail that only youthful people can survive the change therefore making all made vampires appear to be around teen age.

Saturday, Aug. 9: Finals day. This traditionally starts with the Slammasters meeting, where controversy usually crops up. This time, it's with the Mouth Almighty team, who are already meeting with controversy because people perceive them as a hand-picked team engineered to win the competition through domineering talent and attitude. Sort of the Dallas Cowboys of the slam poetry world. (Wammo was asked to try out for the team early in their selection process, by the way, but refused in favor of staying true to his hometown.) In their semi-finals bout, they used the end of a belt to mime a penis during a quartet about sex, which is a clear violation of the no-props rule. Yet there's no penalty in the slam rules for breaking this rule, so about 80 poets -- those awake enough and invested enough to be in the room -- are trying to decide the team's fate while the team sits in silence and a certain degree of disbelief. One loose cannon, the coach of the Montreal team who has, according to a team member, abandoned them early in the week, motions for a vote to disqualify them from the finals, which seems a highly punitive, dangerous, and just plain stupid move. Faith Vicinanza, who is running this year's Nationals, rules that she doesn't want to do anything about the violation. As someone who will be in her spot next year, I'm wholeheartedly inclined to agree, even though I think that we can't retroactively punish Mouth Almighty, need to learn from this incident, and give the rule teeth for the finals tonight and then for next year. We finally vote to keep them in, set down the penalties for the finals, and move on. The room has inflated with tension and deflated again. There's still traces of it there, but it subsides as we move on to happier topics of business, including Austin '98. We get a list of inspired suggestions.
