  1. #PennedPossibilities 1027 — SC POV: If you could master any skill, what would it be? How would you use it?

    Caden: Lying. Small lies. I’ve been told that I’m awful at it. There is one thing, however, that I’ve been forced to lie about for centuries, something that I’ve had to hide from my fellow vampires. It was for the purpose of survival. It’s something huge. Little white lies, though, I am atrocious with. It makes no sense!

  6. #PennedPossibilities 1026 — What is your MC’s biggest priority?

    Fenella. Fenella, Fenella, Fenella. But it’s far more than that as well. He wants to keep those he loves safe. His friends, his servants, and the bloodbound “family” that he has. They all matter to him, and their safety is his main priority.

  11. One of the models for Count Dracula is thought to be Stoker's employer, Henry Irving. This charismatic actor was sometimes viewed as vampirically sucking the energy from those around him, especially his hardworking theatre manager Bram Stoker. Behind his skill, charm and charisma, some people got the feeling Irving didn't have much of a personality of his own, giving an eerie, void-like impression. Stoker had long admired Irving before he started working for him, when he was writing for newspapers as a Dublin theatre critic. Stoker was prone to hero-worship and his admiration may have had a homoerotic tinge, which might be reflected in 'Dracula'. Irving played several highly gothic roles, including Macbeth, Hamlet, Faust, and the captain of The Flying Dutchman. Though his reviews were not always positive, Irving was a mesmerising actor who could leave an audience spellbound. #FairytaleTuesday #folklore #gothic #vampires #books #literature #vampire #history #mythology #theatre #Victorian #weird #Dracula #WorldDraculaDay

  21. A Restless Intellect

    “Widely respected – & regularly attacked (once physically) – in her lifetime, she is now largely neglected; an intriguing aside to feminism or to agnosticism. Dixie deserves better.”

    Florence Dixie (1855–1905) – novelist, poet, dramatist, war correspondent, campaigning journalist, suffragist, & more – was born #OTD, 25 May. Dr Valentina Bold explores Dixie’s roving life

  22. #PennedPossibilities 1024 — MC POV: Name a time where you cried your eyes out.

    Alistair: After she was gone, I unfortunately realized that I still loved her, and that it was too late for us. I could do nothing about it. There really isn’t much more to say on the subject, but I was never ashamed of the outpouring of emotion like most men are.
