I mentioned in my last entry that there was a new fic idea I was contemplating that was pretty surprising coming from me. Now that the contest at
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
The contest in question was to write up to 2,000 words of a Sailor Moon AU, with the catch that you could only chose from a set of certain "What if?" scenarios: mirror-verse, gender-bender, steampunk, zombies, mecha/space, western, vampires, and high fantasy. Anybody who knows me knows that I am generally not a fan of alternate universes and that vampires usually squick the heck out of me, but since it was for a contest, I put aside my general dislike of the two to write a Helios/Chibi-Usa vampire AU story...and discovered that I actually really liked what I had written. (Probably didn't hurt that it was a Helios/Chibi-Usa story. *laughs*) In fact, I like it so much that I now kind of what to expand it into a longer story. The entry works fine as is, but because of the 2,000 word limit, I had to cut a lot of the ideas I had for it.
Here's the entry as entered into the contest (where it placed third). FYI: The nuns are the Maenads.
( On a Snowy Night )
As you can see, there is an ending, but it's the type of ending that easily leaves room for more. To continue, I was thinking Father Helios could awaken shortly after Lady Serenity leaves, go back out into the snowstorm to find her, and discover her secret. Then he would take her back to the rectory, where he would hide her until they could find a way to cure her of her vampirism, but somewhere along the way they fall in love, causing much angst since he's a priest and she's a vampire.
So my question is, is there anybody out there who is interested in seeing more of this story, or should I post the entry as is and concentrate more on Melting Ice and Metamorphosis?
P.S. Don't forget to reply to my Christmas/holiday card post if you've moved or want to be added to the list!
