The "official" Dracula sequel as compiled from Stoker's own notes, by the Stoker estate.
I still don't know how I feel about that. I mean, I know I'll end up reading the damn thing, but I still don't know if I approve of the idea.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Mina and Jonathan Harker's son backstage at a production of Dracula directed by Stoker? It sounds bad.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I think Stoker was heavily involved in the theater. So it's not as much of a leap as, say, backstage at a production of Dracula directed by Emily Dickinson.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Because I would not stop for Vlad
He kindly stopped for me.
The carriage held but just ourselves
And my mortality.
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My crucifix, my necklace too,
For his voracity.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So I'm hating my creative writing class. Apparently, the only creative writing worth learning anything from by doing is poetry.
First assignment - write 2 anti-love poems. Define anti-love any way you want. No minimum length or any parameters given, not discussed in class.
This is so very much NOT my class.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You should write about how much you anti-love this assignment.

The Anti-Poem Love
Iambic pentameter. Haiku and prose. Free verse and doggerel. Sonnets and odes.
Couplets and cinquain. I’ll sit and I’ll write it. Cacophony, quatrain. But I don’t have to like it.
