Thanks for the typo spot, I'm a terrible speller and all bad spellers know that spellcheck is not as helpful as one would think.

Several of the wedding traditions were actual, the veil and the bridesmaids were used to confuse malicious spirits from attacking the bride. As for the branding I don't know, but I really wanted a very hateful and nasty twin brother character. I figured if being born a few moments after the heir wasn't bad enough, having a hideous brand might be enough to instill some really serious sibling rivalry. I cut a lot out of this story because it was REALLY long so you really don't get to see the evil in the twin brother and the good in Gwendolyn's husband.

I would love for Anselm and Gwendolyn to become a book. Right now I don't have a plot, like most of my stories I have a mass of characters waiting for a major conflict to build a book around. I do know that Anselm and Gwendolyn will build a family out of other vampires. I just don't have a major conflict for them yet.

Actually I've used previous months to help build up some of my other characters (mostly Ash and Cinder) I do use the monthly contests as a personal way to develop these characters more. It's actually helped me develop my character Fanged-doll, who for the most part, was faceless to me.

Thanks for the support. Keep writing.
