The line: "inte innebär mig i dina sexlekar med vampyren" should probably be "inkludera inte mig i dina sexlekar med vampyren" (Don't include me in your sexgames with the vampire)
And "Jag kommer tala väl om eder efter att hon förbrukat er ande" does sound rather old-fashioned and stilted. It works though. (I will speak well of you after she has consumed your soul).
The other Swedish phrases was much better.

Thanks! I'll probably go ahead and update that one, and I'll remember to come to you for Swedish translations in the future. Google only does so well.

The changes you did to her works much better than what her powers were in the campaign I play in. Of course the stone could be seens as a kind of divination. ;)

Anya's tastes don't typically run towards men, and Amy seemed like just her type. In this version of Amy, she's from Boston, but currently in New York with her master. Since Anya is from there, and visits, it seems likely that Amy will be seen again at some point.
Reading your description, she didn't come off as a warrior, so I didn't want to force her into that roll. She's more of an enchantress and item user. Her divination is mentioned, but is low key in this story, as she's still getting training from her master, who conveniently has a strong divination background.

Btw, this phrase: "Jag kommer tala väl om eder efter att hon förbrukat er ande" a more modern translation would be "Jag kommer tala väl om er efter att hon ätit upp er själ."
Have now also read the other books. Very cool. How much time is supposed to have been spent between book 4 and 5?

I think it was a little over a year, if I recall. It's the span between when Harry went down to new Orleans and the events of Turn Coat. Why?

In the blurb for both stories you say they have spoilers from both Turn Coat and Cold days.... In the latest you clearly reference Turn Coat, but if the references/spoilers in story 4 is what I think they are, then you have a bit of a time-problem as that then means that on one hand they occur with very short intervall and on the other hand a long time has passed between them.

Ah. Yes, the spoilers warning isn't so much a timeline reference so much as an information reference. Woody may find out about our see things before Harry does. I didn't want to risk (however unlikely) someone seeing something in the stories that they hadn't read first in the series.
