Dracula

Few figures are so well-known and strike as much terror as that of the vampire known as “Dracula.” This creature — not yet dead, but no longer alive — has, at one time or another, tempted, fascinated and repelled all of us. When writer Bram Stoker published Dracula in 1897, he couldn’t have predicted that he was creating a figure who was larger than death.

Today, he might be timeless, but in the 15th century, he was all too real. His name was Prince Vlad Dracula, whom history has come to know as Vlad the Impaler.

In many ways, the reality of Dracula’s life was more terrifying than the vampire literature and fanfiction he helped inspire, his story more shocking than anything Hollywood could manufacture.

My Thoughts on the BtVS Fic Wanna See A Trick

Here are my thoughts on the BtVS fanfic “Wanna See A Trick?” that I found on FanFiction.Net: 

Neat! :) Very awesome, as well as very well-written, too. I like this so far - especially this part:

She left town after the next day, determined to make it in the big city. Become an actress, or singer or some other famous being. She had watched E True Hollywood Story, most had similar back stories to hers. Why couldn’t she be a big shot? Simple, she didn’t have money for anything. She walked one day into an agency, announcing herself as the next big thing to the secretary who asked for her headshot and then promptly and primly asked her to leave. She had nowhere to go, home wasn’t an option and LA seemed to offer no alternative. She started small, rubbing or sucking those who paid to orgasm. After a while a frequent customer wanted more. She sold her virginity for two hundred and seventy five dollars and with the cash bought herself her first silk shirt which was later ripped in half by a drunk client. So here she was barely eighteen and stuck in the ritual of sucking, touching, fisting, rubbing and f***ing for as much money as she could get.

Plus, I like these kinds of stories too - the AU kind where everyone is human, Buffy is either a businesswoman, a prostitute, a gold digger or an exotic dancer (since those are realistic and are in real life), Angel is someone with a job, and Slayers and the Hellmouth don’t exist. In my mind, that’s pretty neat, as well as very cool, too. :)
