Dipping to kiss her cooling lips once more, he hungrily takes what’s been offered, consuming that last delicious whisper of life as it ebbs away with the last beat of her heart.

Great line.

“Mmmm,” she purrs, reading his mind. “Let’s get another.”
And another - and another.

[bogwitch]

Thank you. I dread to think how many others there would have been!

Very moody, very cool - and your first line kicks arse!

[bogwitch]

Thanks! I don't know why this took so long to be honest.

I swear some fics are really fickle like that - not too complicated, but they refuse to be right until the perfect moment.

[bogwitch]

I'm still not 100% convinced this is right either. Maybe that's why no one read it.

I've done your beta btw, just it's on a hard copy and I need to type it up. I hope to do that at the weekend.

Where was the banner? Just wondering. The story is so atmospheric, and spot on for Halloween as well!

Also I am amused that you were posting this about the 80s Goth scene whilst I was putting together a post about my daughter 'doing' an 80s Maddona/Cyndi Lauper impression.

Ah yeah, I forgot to link to the banner! It was this one: http://community.livejournal.com/writerconuk/24481.html?format=light#cutid1

I do intend to post this at the writerconuk LJ when I get the time at the weekend.

The eighties are in vogue, obviously! I saw your post, but I couldn't think of anything to say.

[curiouswombat]

Nice banner, thanks.

I saw your post, but I couldn't think of anything to say.

'S OK - not really a lot to say about it - it was posted to amuse! I just liked the coincidence when I looked at when we both posted!

A perfect Halloween treat!

I think this story captures the idea of vampire hunger better than any I've read before. It's quite chilling.

[bogwitch]

Thank you! It took so long because I couldn't decide whose POV I wanted to be in. I still think it would have been good to see from the girl's.

[timeofchange]

That might be interesting. Spike sees her as so blank, but perhaps he is not really able to see her humanity?

well done!

[bogwitch]

Thanks!
