As you all will probably know, I have an unhealthy obsession with Dracula from Van Helsing, despite quite disliking the film as a whole. I am even on a few fan communities for TEH SEX sorry, Dracula. ButI have yet to find any decent fic. It's all APPALLING. You have your Mary-Sues in droves, and just... it's all so badly written.

Last night, I couldn't sleep very well. I went to bed very early, but kept on waking up and eventually rolled out of bed at 9.30am. Various images stuck with me, however, and one of them was A Dream. It involved Dracula, and it's something of a recurring dream. Now, because I am bored, because my muse is in ICU for Imedhuir and on a fag break for the S/R stuff, I am going to actually make an effort to sit down and spend the day writing VH fic. I do not know what the outcome will be. I do know that I have the compeeh to myself all day, however. And frankly, I know I can write better than some of the current VH writers out there.

Wish me luck! I think I'll have some food first so I can think up something approaching a plot. I think I might actually be having an intellectual challenge...

Oooh, good luck! I thought the movie was a lot of fun, and that Dracula was teh hawt, ponytail and all. :-P

I will try and do the ponytail justice. I'm actually having fun with this now - it's completely self-indulgent fic because, well, it's one of those movies. Canon is wonderfully flexible, too - a relief after Silmfic, let me tell you!

As a veteran of Mummy fic, I can tell you that writing Stephen Sommers canon can be a lot of fun because it's so flexible, and can also be maddening for the same reason. He made a basic math error between The Mummy and The Mummy Returns that made figuring out people's ages to be impossible without a time-traveling DeLorean. ;-)
