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.

OMG Edwardian vampire Hakkai! I can't wait!

(Also, yay RH Plus!)

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.

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....

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!

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!!! ♥

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*

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...

vampire in the fog...
sounds like a tale one can barely wait to read

585, right?
indelicateink: Gojyo and Hakkai, good times (saiyuki - gojyo&hakkai)

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!

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...
