Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline.

I became a fan of Dracula this past fall and stumbled across this community today, so here I am.
1) Your username and why you picked it. Mash-up of my name and initials. 2) Gender? Female. 3) Age? 24. 4) Blood Type? O... something. The most common one. 5) Why are you a Dracula fan? I like the novel because of: the selfless love, friendship, and loyalty between the Fellowship of the Crucifix (as I call the team of vampire hunters), the mystery and darkness surrounding Jonathan's stay in the castle, the novelty of seeing the heroes as the hunters rather than the hunted in the Return phase of The Hero's Journey, how Mina's psychic link with Dracula reminds me of Harry Potter and Voldemort, and the feminism of how the men's misogynistic chivalry regarding Mina completely backfires. It also contains the sexiest passage in all of literature, but this does not mean I ship Mina Harker with her metaphorical rapist. 6) The Best Vampire Film You’ve Ever Seen? None. Does the Dracula ballet count? 7) The Worst Vampire Film You’ve Ever Seen? None, but based on the 7 chapters of Twilight I foolishly forced myself to be read before I couldn't take it anymore, I'm sure it would be one of them. *shudder* 8) Favorite Flavor of Ice Cream? Peppermint pattie 9) Random Fact About Yourself? I am a TV Tropes addict trying to quit the habit.
I'm not sure if there are any fans of the World of Darkness games in this community, but I was wondering what folks think of the Ordo Dracul and Rites of the Dragon. ( Collapse ) I just finished reading Rites of the Dragon a couple of days ago. It is one of the better fiction books to come out of White Wolf in several years. It is also a nice touch that it can be used "in game" as part of the storyline (written in-character by the founder of the Ordo Dracul). Written by Greg Stolze (A Hunger Like Fire) it is probably one of my favorite twists of the Dracula mythos to date.
Anyway, has anyone else read either of these books?
For some bizarre reason I decided to start on a novel-length Dracula fanfic at the same time I'm trying to write an original novel for Nanowrimo. I need a content beta, someone to look over what I've got and give me some feedback. I'm not sensitive--if you want to sink your teeth in and really pull it apart, I would bless the ground you walk on.
I'm a rotten critic myself, but I'm good with grammar and style if you need that kind of a beta in return.
My story is a time-flipping kind of thing, set between 1968 and the events of the movie (with serious nods to the novel), and I think will eventually have some events from the Crusades in it as well. Fairly tame at the moment, but I'm kind of shooting for disturbing.
Help?
(Sorry for anyone who has to read this twice: I crossposted this over at Whitby Library.)

Surely, Dracula fans, there are some among you who enjoy writing or reading Dracula fan fiction, or drawing Dracula fan art. But, up until now there has been no community to post such things. Well, now there is.
whitby_library is a community for Dracula fanworks, whether based on the novel or one of the many adaptations of it. So join, post, read, and have fun!
I saw that quite some time ago there was talk of starting up a livejournal Dracula RPG here, but that never seemed to get started, and recently a friend and I created another, this one a post Dracula AU. I do hope any fans of the Dracula novel here who enjoy RPing will take a look at it, as it promises to be quite interesting and we would love to have you!
Very few canon characters are claimed, and we also allow original characters. If you're interested and would like more information, please visit carfax_asylum!
Greetings and salutions. I am new here and I also have a new communitie called Vladimir Tepes http://www.livejournal.com/userinf… Please come see and join. Thanks
I've returned from my vacation in Romania (specifically, Transylvania),
so things can pick up on the Borgo Pass once more. I had intended to
post some pictures of the country (particularly those of Vlad Tepes'
birthplace and statue) but a family member currently has the photo
album in their office so no such luck today.
I'd also like to announce that, inspired by member kit_maxel's brilliance, I am considering running a livejournal Dracula RPG.
Of course, I would need enough people interested in order to do so. I
don't have a cut-and-dry plan of how it will manifest in terms of plot
exactly, but if you or your friends are keen on the idea and would like
to brainstorm the possibilities, I'd be very pleased.
