This week on Wattvampires the final summer challenge is a fanfiction crossover challenge! Write a love letter from one vampire to a character from another fictional universe. How delicious. I had to tip my hat to two of my favourite stand outs, Vladislav the Poker from What We Do In The Shadows  and Emily Gilmore from The Gilmore Girls. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

To my most determined Emily,

I have traversed the vast expanse of the Internets to find you. Your profile on the Book of Faces is a most extraordinary window into your raging soul. A soul of timeless beauty. It has shown me many things. A widow. A mother. A Gilmore. I could not resist.

I do not know where this Nantucket of yours is but my good friend Stu, a loyal and willing human, has assured me that it is in a place called Massa-chu-sits. I wonder if there is any correlation with the witch hangings of the 1600 Americas? Those were very good years for such public displays of brutality. I remember them well.

I recently viewed a video on the YouTubes where you gave a most impassionate speech about whaling. The way you handle the harpoon, it is as if you have been slaughtering those creatures for an age. You are a woman who knows no fear and will gladly reach into the carcass of your kill to rip out its heart as a testament to your power. This is a most attractive quality in a woman.

I await your reply. Eagerly.

Yours in the shadows,

Vladislav
