#dracula authors

I saw your DD graph asking for other ideas, so... if you still have any desire to do further Dracula graphs I'd be curious to see how the word count per character breaks down (not how much they speak but how much they write. Adding all their diary entries together, etc.). Obviously Mina wins by default from having typed up the whole novel but outside of that detail, how much did each person author?

Thank you so much for this ask! What an interesting data set this one is! Lots of unexpected information.

So first off, if you just want to visualize the author breakdown, ta-dahhhh!

Seward was staunchly in the lead, talking his head off and burning through those wax recording drums like no ones business. Poor Mina for having to transcribe it all. In total his words made up 39.3% of Dracula. Nearly 40%!

Seward unsurprisingly had the most individual entries overall at 47, and had the longest streak for being the narrator in an entry at 10 days (09/02 - 09/11) with Mina following right behind at 9 days (08/10 - 08/19)

Mina surprisingly was 3rd overall both in word count and number of entries. She wasn't even in the top 3 for most words in a day which is as follows.

1 - Seward October 3rd - 9942 words

2 - Seward September 29th - 7206 words

3 - Jonathan October 3rd - 5944 words

Van Helsing only had 9 entries total but still came in number 4 for word count, in front of Lucy. It's interesting to note that the amount a person writes doesn't correlate to the amount of time they are being written about/appear. Which is why Arthur and Quincey don't even beat out the newspaper clippings for words, lol.

There are lots of authors we only hear from a single time, like Sister Agatha. So I've decided to make a small fry pie as well. (Authors under ~500 words)

The captain of the Demeter and Van Helsing both had more days written than Lucy! Though I didn't break up number of entries, like when the log of the Demeter had 3 or 4 on one day or Lucy wrote a letter and in her diary.

If there is any data I haven't presented here that you're interested in feel free to tag me or shoot me an ask like this lovely person did!

I know it's incredibly late, but at last! My piece for the Yeehawgust prompt "Yee-caw."

Additionally, I have no justification for making Jack Seward cool and capable of befriending corvids. I just thought that in a high fantasy western au, purely for the aesthetics, he could be a suspicious surgeon type.

Close up because I'm trying new brushes

#Yeehawgust #Dracula #Jack Seward #John Seward #nabiscart #I usually make Jack very pathetic baby but I'm sick of that what if he were cool now #Meaning I've been thinking he might be desperate for authority #I like to think he was born a nobody and was picked on for most of his life #So he compensated for his weaker stature and lower social status by climbing the social ladder tooth and nail #To own an entire asylum at an incredibly young age #Just to feel as though he has some amount of control- authority- maybe even respect if he's lucky #He has a complex now and it's constantly battling with his emotionality and compassion #Do I be ruthless and cruel to get authority or do I be kind and risk looking like a softie #He just breaks down and looks sad and insane instead

#Dracula #Dracula Daily #Van Helsing #Edits #this bitch can write #for context: today van helsing is writing in place of mina #november 4 #the book on the right would have all of mina's entries replaced with van helsing's #i genuinely didn't think we would ever see him write anything in a journal at this point actually #aside from that one 'i am respecting your privacy but asserting my authority as your mentor by speaking into your phonograph anyway' entry

[thebibi]

Forgive me for harping on about a small inconsequential part of the book, but, the way Jack cannot fully shun and even compliments Van Helsing for going insane and having "monstrous ideas" is a motif that builds on itself for Future Events in the novel. Its part of a larger theme about not just what you would do to avoid the pits of hell but about unconditional love as well. Jack thinks he knows what might happen if Van Helsing has truly gone insane but he decides to follow and look after him anyway (for now. Its a half formed thought). Jack is fascinated but utterly judgemental towards Renfield and completely abuses his power over him, but he cannot feel the same way about Van Helsing.

It's an interesting call back to what Jack thinks in front of Lucy's evergreen corpse: Is all love subjective, or is it all objective? Can you still love the Lucy that preys and bites small children? Or is the love you have for her dependent on when she was alive? Can love even be defined by its acceptability in society? Later in the story this motif of loving someone despite their ruination will come up again, and even the dispatching of vampire!Lucy is hotly debated for its conclusion. What is the shape of unconditional love in a story where vampirism and madness changes you permanently?

Dracula Daily as an insidious plot to manipulate young internet users into willingly checking their email

#dracula daily #i am having SO much fun with this book club #i think we should do this every few months but with a different book #reading is different when you know you get to log in later #to read shitposts and delightful little comics poking affectionate fun at the latest chapter #oh wait shit. this is why people join new fandoms #damn i wish we had done this in high school/college english classes #group chats where everyone in class started riffing on characters/author after every assigned reading #gosh reading Crime and Punishment would have been such a superior and more bearable experience... #Raskolnikov was a LITTLE BITCH and i would have deeply cherished seeing tumblr-style reactions to his Little Bitch Shenanigans

[queen-mabs-revenge]

there is something so exceptional about the audio form and the kind of...meta-narrative (?) of horror it creates that really leapt out at the end of this re: dracula episode (25 Sept).

seeing the runtime of each episode sets the scene - 27:06? ok, i'm in for something here -- we have a few, uhhhhh, long-winded characters in rotation so it might not be an eventful something, but at this point in the story, we've already been gutted by episodes with longer runtimes so just glimpsing the runtime already sets the scene for heightened dread. you might set aside time to experience the dread instead of maybe quickly listening to a minute long episode wherever/whenever you are.

i luckily got to listen through without interruption and so i was only vaguely aware of the passing time in that approximate way one's body clock ever is. so as this episode came to a close, and mina asks van helsing to not reply if he agrees to meet for breakfast, the dread spiked

i didn't know how long was left in the episode -- the music was still lingering. how much time has it been? 27 minutes? it feels like it could be 27 minutes, but it also feels much shorter? can't be sure. and even if the runtime is nearly elapsed, we know from previous episodes that a telegram can take mere seconds, a journal entry just a few words. is van helsing going to be called away? is he going to cancel the meeting? is mina going to be left alone again with no answers and no friends? with the count and the 'bloofer lady' closing in? how long has the music been playing? holding my breath for the morse code. holding my breath for van helsing's voice. holding my breath for 'letter by hand'. holding my breath for 'letter unopened'...

"this episode featured..."

relief

when reading, you have the unread pages in your hand constantly telling you the story of the progress of the narrative's shape. unless every piece of ephemera of an epistolary story is set on its own separate page, you can see the next item in your eyesight. sure, even if they are on separate new pages, you can see through the printed page the shadows of the text on the next, giving you a subconscious hint of expectation.

with a film, you lose the tangibility of the physical object informing the narrative, but you have other sensory cues - something like a fade to black over the lingering music can manipulate your expectations of narrative completion (and either follow through or subvert them). if you're watching on a device, an accidental activation of the screen or cursor might give you a glimpse of the progression bar, again changing your narrative perception.

with an audio drama you're left with just the one sense as your guide. unless you're actively watching the progression bar as you're listening or actively watching a clock, you just don't know beyond your own imperfect perception of time what you're in for and fuck me the added anxiety because of that is just

whew

#re: dracula #i have a deep obsession with the inescapable narration of the material art form on the art itself #and man oh man this was a treat for me today #thinking of how other things can shape your narrative experience #if you're listening while walking on a familiar route and know how long it takes you to walk from point a to point b #passing a physical landmark might spike dread because you suddenly are aware of time passed and remaining #literally a fire hydrant. a weird tree. a crack in the sidewalk could be a meta-narrative device #something that the author has no control over can shape the perception of their story #going feral about it actually?

The immense satisfaction that comes from saying "wait, how old is this book?" when Amazon tries to sell me a very old-fashioned-looking work for 'just £1.99' and then finding it on Project Gutenberg for free instead.

#that history book from 1900 is going to be very out of date but sometimes there's some appealing element in there #and obvs many primary sources themselves are already old anyway #and old fiction too! mary shelley wrote a novel about perkin warbeck! (i need to get round to reading that one) #70000 free books you are bound to want at least one of them right? #has the author been dead for long enough that you think of them as a historical figure? their work is probably free by now! #tumblr faves Moby Dick and Dracula are there you know. Sherlock Holmes! Oscar Wilde and Jane Austen. Mary Shelley AND her mum! #protip: rename the files as you download them otherwise you'll never guess which is which as the filenames are just numbers #*slaps the roof of project gutenberg* you can fit so much out-of-copyright material in this thing.
