Vampires in the fog

Um, I seem to have written more than five thousand words about Edwardian vampires (working title: Vampires in the fog).

This is quite exciting! I even have a part two planned. But no part three, sadly. Maybe I won't need a part three. Part two have to wait until I've finished my Sweet Charity story, unless I absolutely can't restrain myself. Vampires in the Fog is really a Saiyuki AU, with Hakkai as a dark and sinister Romanian count, exiled a particularly damp and foggy part of England and Gojyo is the increasingly confused young man he seduces makes tooth marks in.

However, I need to really get on and write more of Sweet Charity, which is hovering around the 8k mark after last week's drastic prune. Drastic prunes! They are good for you. I've struggled through the painful part of shuffling the characters into place and now things can move forward, unless I've now forgotten what's supposed to happen. I did write it down somewhere...

In other, and not related, vampire news, I watched 8 episodes of RH Plus, all the while muffling my cries of glee at the painful acting and terrible plots combined with brain melting levels of pretty. I think [livejournal.com profile] daegaer sums it up best, and I quote: it's like pure liquid manga applied to the eyeballs by angsty gay vampiric hot guys.

Hah! Vampires are awesome. I can't wait to read your AU.

So what's your Sweet Charity about? It is sort of like the musical?

What is RH Plus? I could stand to watch something sort of mindless and entertaining about angsty gay vampires.

Sweet Charity is the name of the organisation that I'm writing it for: http://www.sweet-charity.net/

Basically people bid for your services, and the winning bid gets donated to the charities that the site supports, so this one I'm writing for was for the Writers Guild Hardship fund.

Um, I hope that's not really confusing! The story I'm writing for Sweet Charity is a Saiyuki AU where Gojyo is a kelpie unable to change, and then is doctored with a combination of science and magic.

RH + is utterly mindless and pretty and fun and I heartily recommend it! The download links are in [livejournal.com profile] daegaer's lj, if you scroll back a few posts.

Angsty, silly, very pretty vampires! (http://daegaer.livejournal.com/877071.html)

OMG Edwardian vampire Hakkai! I can't wait!

(Also, yay RH Plus!)

Yay! Vampires! RH+ is hilarious indeed.

Hakkai would make a lovely vampire - all those empty years would give him so much time to properly brush up all the squirrels running about in his brain ... .

Now I'm impatiently waiting to see what sort of turn this will take ... it sounds great.

Heeeeee, squirrels. I think he sits about thinking about Dark Things far too much.

Vampire in the Fog sounds like a winning situation. I am sure the sweet charity winner can be sidetracked with it. :coughs:

I might have to look into this RH Plus....

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2008-04-10 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Do look into it, it is really worth a few hours of anyone's time. It's so mindless and amusing and pretty.

If I had a band, I would name it The Drastic Prunes.

I'm installing new system software now. I hope I don't lose all the gay vampires; I haven't watched them yet!

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2008-04-10 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope you've still retained the gay vampires?

If you had a band, you might call it the Happy Pigs. Or Cockery.

Just in case you lose them! (http://daegaer.livejournal.com/877071.html)

Heee, I has them, thank you!

RH Plus with English subs??? Where from?!

Ah I look forward to Edwardian period Vampires, mainly because I am trying to see Gojyo as the increasingly confused young man? ;) I imagine Hakkai is the most cheery vampire he's ever met.

"Well, uh, don't you like, lurk around in dark, dingy mansions with cobwebs and stuff everywhere..."

"Hahahaha... Heavens, no! What on earth do you think I am?"

"A filthy, blood sucking creature of darkness?"

"Oh dear. Well, I suppose you're partially right, technically speaking..."


PS Go you and your Sweet Charity!!! ♥

Lol! Now I need to make him more like that. He's a very modern vampire, for 1903.

The RH+ subs are linked in [livejournal.com profile] daegaer's lj, if you scroll back a few posts. She has links up to chapter 10. Enjoy!

Ooooh, that sounds like an awesome fic <3 Yay for vampires!!

Vampires are just the best. Especially angsty gay ones.

Eeee, Edwardian vampire Hakkai! That's three of my very favorite things combined into one story! *squeals joyfully* And Gojyo as the Innocent Maiden (or whatever the male equivalent of maiden is) seduced by the naughty vampire count is too perfect. I cannot wait to see this. *bounces excitedly*

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2008-04-10 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, awesome! It's so much fun to write too, like the ultimate smooshing together of all the things I love. <333

Eeeee, Edwardian Vampire AU! *dances*

Did you find English subs for RH Plus?? Inquiring minds need to know.


edit: BWAHAHAHA! Nevermind! Have found eps 1-5 with subs...

sounds like a tale one can barely wait to read

[personal profile] indelicateink 2008-04-10 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my goodness! Saiyuki vampire AU for the win. I'm sure the Sweet Charity characters would graciously concede the stage for a bit for Edwardian vampires! ( *g*, that is to say-- inasmuch as I eagerly await the terrific SC story, I totally get being seduced by Romanian vampire!Hakkai. No haste necessary on my behalf!) :)

Thank you so much for all your hard work on the SC story!

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2008-04-10 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're very welcome! It's a long and complicated story and it's really quite a challenge to write it, but I'm really loving it.

What might happen is that you get two for the price of one. :D

The internet is just a fountain of vampiric love this week, it seems. :) I've been enjoying the RH+ crack myself, and now to hear of possible Edwardian vampire AU? What bliss! *laughs* Glad to hear writing is going well and that all sorts of inspirations are happening in your corner of the world.

'drastic prunes'
LOL. Being at home with stomach problems these past couple of days, I shan't mention what that made me think of!

Ooh, so looking forward to these...
