Festival of the Undead #8

8- was anything spoiled for you as you read the series?

Nope! I read the books before giving them to my sister, so if anything I probably spoiled some of them for her. I definitely spoiled parts of the Saga of Larten Crepsley for her.

Countdown to the Festival of the Undead #7

7- do you have any criticism of the DSS/SLC? Like what would you have done differently?

The only part that I didn't like was how Mr. Crepsley died. I wanted him to live through the entire series... just because he is my favorite character. When I had finished the series I just wanted there to be more, I was very sad about it all coming to an end.

13 things my uncle told me before he died: not everyone has the blessing to understand sadness when waiting at the bus stop, it’s okay to smoke cigarettes never touch anyone else’s clothes at the laundromat it’s okay to miss the people who were bullets to you when your grandmother asks you how you are, be honest never be afraid to say “no” even after you’ve said “yes” if someone tells you graffiti isn’t art, prove them wrong remember people by their eye color not their clothes you’re allowed to like dark chocolate with tangerines don’t lie that you don’t have a lighter when you really do turn your phone off every once in a while and find the moon if you want a tattoo, don’t let anyone tell you not to get it if you ever find yourself at the graveyard, read the names

Festival of the Undead Countdown 1-6

1- what character did you fall in love with first?

I absolutely love Larten Crepsley. I adore the way he speaks and the Saga of Larten Crepsley made me love him even more. I also loved Harkat Mulds and Evra Von.

2- what’s your NOtp and why does it bother you so much?

I didn't have any problems with the book, but I resented Rebbecca in the movie. Only because it ruined the fact that Darren's first time drinking blood was not from Sam Grest and was way less meaningful to me.

3- how old were you when you started the series and did you read the books in order?

I think I was around 10 or 11? I read all the books in order as well. Once I read the first one I showed it to my sister, and we are both in love with the series. Even at 21 I still love the books just as much as I did when I first read them.

4- have you ever written any DS fanfiction? If yes, what story are you most proud of? If no, share a fic that you really enjoyed.

I haven't written or read any fanfiction, but I should. Maybe I will try to find some tonight.

5- what part of the Saga of Larten Crepsley surprised you the most?

I was really surprised that Bram Stoker was in it. I was totally not expecting it.

6- would you rather be a vampire, a cirque member, or a vampaneze?

Vampire all the way! even though I love the cirque. I loved everything about the vampires in this series, especially their attitudes and how they were portrayed as a group.
