brainofckWell. The vampire challenge over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mckay_sheppard got me thinking. And now I have a happy, fanged little blood sucker hopping around my brain.
I was getting all worked up, trying to figure out how the heck I would get it done and posted by Halloween. It's going to be longish - I predict 10,000 words or so. Please remember that I believe I draft unedited text at approximately 1000 words per hour. Then I have to edit it. Post the test post. Read the test post. Edit that. So another 4 hours to get it posted = a minimum of 14 hours to write and post the thing.
That is JUST NOT POSSIBLE. So I was feeling all spazzy.
Then I thought - nothing says Decmeber 25 like a great, pr0nie vampire story. Or if I get a writing break, maybe something to go with the turkey and green bean casserole and jello salad late in November.
*nods*
Yes. Vampires and stuffing and reindeer. That's the ticket.
Oh. Not McShep, though. No brain activity in Atlantis whatsoever. This would be your standard J/D. Unless it morphed into more of a J/D, J/S, J/T type scenario. You never can tell with these critters.

(Gives blood pudding a whole new context.)
