And totally unrelated, I had a (potentially squickey) story idea last night. It always bugged me that vampire stories involving human females seem to completely ignore menstruation. Why? It's like a buffet of blood that doesn't harm the donor at all...we just gush it out for days every month. I suppose that it's compositionally different from arterial blood so maybe it wouldn't taste as good? But seems like a non-discerning vampire could have a rotating stable of ladies of fertile years. Plus, for the sexy times scenes, orgasm leads to uterine contractions so a vampire adept at cunnilingus could reasonably view menstruating women as walking treat dispensers.

edited to white font the part that folks might find squicky.

I, uh, wrote a fanfic about that years ago. No, really.

walking treat dispensers.

Yep.

And I read it.

Great minds think alike ;P Link?

Ask her. I didn't save it. I just read it. A few times.

Um, good question. Let me see if I can rustle it up.

I think Theodore Sturgeon - or someone writing when he was - did something along those lines.

And with all the zombie stories around now, how would a zombie apocalypse affect Christian celebrations of the eucharist? transubstantiation and all that ....

I don't think it was Steph's, but I read a long Buffy/Spike that used that premise some time ago.
