Hi there I adore your wriding on Dracula and especially how wonderful and sinister/sweet (is there a word for that? There should be a word for that.) Your Jonathan/Mina is. Is your plan for the novel/sequel to be published? Or will you be putting it up online either behind a pay wall or for free? If it's to be published formally I hope and wish you all the success with finding a publisher that you deserve because once again your writing is terrific.
if you have already answered this my apologies.
First, thank you, my ego is always happy for the confidence boost
Second, hopefully it gets finished and published! Something about Dracula Daily really hammered home how disappointed I've been with the bulk of Dracula-based media and how shoddy the pop culture understanding of it is. I want Barking Harker (and maybe some other Dracula-adjacent projects I'm poking at right now (đ¤) ) to get out on the bookshelves.
Likewise for SO MANY COOL IDEAS that other folks have come up with since this book club started. Everyone should take a crack at writing and publication for their plots too! Don't just leave it in fan fiction where only a few of us will see it! We have to get our stuff out in the wider world so the characters and ideas we love get the limelight they deserve.
When The End comes for real, itâs just as Crowley supposed, with Heaven and Hell united against humanity. There are a lot of people who donât believe whatâs happening, but about half earthâs inhabitants do.  And they show up for the fight. Â
The army humans have guns, there are doctors wielding baseball bats and taxi drivers with tire irons. Masses of youths are forming up with nothing but broken bottles and spite to defend themselves with. Â
Lucifer scoffs at them, his beauty already luring some people from their posts. Â
Not too many of them, though. Aziraphale has to believe thatâŚ
There may be millions of angels and demons among the ranks, united for a common goal, but there are billions of humans.
Crowley and Aziraphale are in the thick of it, of course. Of course. Aziraphale has come into the possession of his flaming sword again, through a series of events that Crowley really doesnât want to think too hard about. Â
They stare down the Morning Star across the open expanse of the soon to be battlefield, humanity behind them, as much of it sheltered beneath their wings as they can manage. Â
And then the Heavenly forces begin to sing. Â

Sorry for being absent for so long. Again. I faced with some health difficultis and they take all my time. Anyway This was an answer for our wh40k ask on vk. QUESTION TO HORUS: What did you feel when Malcador got you on your knees and started to strangle for saying your lost brotherâs name? Humiliation? Did you like it or just wanted to kill the old man?
The number of clueless fucking "leftists" already falling for the exact same fucking "don't vote at all if the candidate isn't left enough" garbage (that was liiiiiiterally pushed by Russian trolls last election) is ASTOUNDING.
You vote as progressive as possible every single election. Every time. Whether your choices are SUPER progressive, or kinda progressive, or just 'less evil than the other guy' you vote for your best available option every time.
Refusing to vote helps no one but the most evil option.
Push for progressive candidates. Campaign for them. Donate to them. Support them. Vote for them. And always always always vote for the best option on the ballot.
As they walk into their room, 3 of them, whip out some vodka, food and cigarettes and begin to make jokes about the government and be very loud indeed. The 4th one is trying to get some meaningful sleep and knowing that it would be fruitless to ask them to stop, hatches an ingenious plan. He goes downstairs to reception and asks for a cup of coffee to be delivered to the room.
âMake sure you deliver it exactly after 10 minutes starting from nowâ
Returning back to the room he joins his comrades midway a Stalin joke. He sits up shocked and exclaims:
âComrades! You must not say these things! Donât you know? They are listening to our conversations right now!â
The comrades jeer and laugh at him and say that that is impossible.
âReally? Then how do you explain this?â
He gets up and speaks into the lampshade by the beds.
âI would like a black coffee to be delivered to my room, please.â
And surely enough, in a short amount of time, a maid walks in with a cup of coffee and some sugar.
The other 3 comrades turn deathly pale and quickly turn in for the night. The last comrade drinks his coffee and peacefully goes to sleep.
Come morning the 4th comrade awakens only to find that his friends and all their belongings are missing.
Throughly confused and anxious, the man walks down the stairs to reception to enquire whether his friends had checked out earlier in the morning.
âI am afraid not sir. You see, the KGB raided your room during the night and placed your friends under arrest for ridiculing the Soviet regime.â
âB-but how come they didnât take me?!â
âOh, the Captain very much enjoyed your jokeâ
Would that there were five of me, one for each child, so I might keep them all safe.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
Just finished listening to Guards! Guards! again and the scene with the Watch asking for compensation really hit me this time around. Vetinari does his big speech about the absolute evil and darkness in humanity and then Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs, who we know are not heroes, are not particularly nice people, are not, in short, âgoodâ and they ask for barely any money and a new kettle and a dartboard and they worry that theyâre asking for too much.
And Vimes just laughs and laughs at all the upper crust diplomats and Vetinari who canât understand it. Canât understand ten dollars a month raise. Canât understand a kettle. Canât understand a dart board.
I forgot how much I loved these books.
âYou clap for us now.â

if biden wins the nomination it is not the end of the world. we just focus on getting him in office and getting more progressive senators and reps in office so the things we want done will still get done. we need to up the energy instead of letting it slide away. we CANNOT give up!!!! the lack of enthusiasm for hillary is how we lost last time. we may not be happy about biden but fake it til u make it u know?
