Just finished "The Warslayer" by Rosemary Edghill, which I bought from Baen in 2002. The star of a TV show called "The Incredibly True Adventures of Vixen the Slayer", a sort of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" set in Elizabethan times, is brought by magic to another world to help defeat their enemies, in the belief that she really is the character portrayed in the TV show. Hardly an original idea ("Galaxy Quest", anyone?) but well executed nonetheless, and well aware of its derivative nature, with a lot of self-referential jokes about TV. A light but amusing read. Recommended.
