Anne rice was patient zero. Laurell K. Hamilton spread the plague far and wide, but she was just trying to be Anne Rice.

SA (did I use that right?)

To me, she just isn't a part of all this. She isn't patient zero, she's whatever comes before patient zero. Because her work has ALWAYS been blatantly romantic. It makes no sense to read a romantic book and think "UGH. WHAT IS THIS. ROMANCE??" Of course it is. It's romantic. It's purple prose and pretty vampires and their relationships with one another. That's it, that's the plot. Repeat for 20 books.

At best she's the proto-form, but she's not patient zero. I think that's more easily handed to Laurel K, because she's the one who took Anne Rice's model and molded it to standard adventure urban fantasy. Anne Rice just wasn't that genre, and never aimed to be.

She's the one that mixed romance with vampires.

Shes the oppenheimer of this. Without her work Laurel K Hamilton wouldn't have been.
