formatting and prose choices here are top tier. you completely nailed the gothic undertones and made the whole scene feel incredibly immersive and tragic. really great work on this

Thank you so much!! I am very glad you enjoyed the gothic vibes here and that it felt immersive as well as tragic!! I love Carmilla so much. I really enjoyed writing it to the challenge too. Thanks for reading🖤

Very Interview with a Vampire-esque. Well done. I might have liked just a little bit more at the end, some visual to part on, a glint of fang, so to say. But well done indeed and it makes me eager for your vampire Western. Tell me, does a consumptive vampire turned at such a progressed stage still cough in undeath?

Thank you!! And yeah, it was hard not to write prose around it or do more. I’m not sure how I could have added a hint of the feeding/turning through dialogue…also, to your question…I have no idea😅

She probably gets healed or something?

I read it on a little break from work and I'm glad I did. The characters felt elusive yet so present and real. A peek into a moment of time. Nicely done!

Thank you!! I’m so glad to hear they felt elusive and real at the same time!!🖤

I love this! Makes you think it's about a secret, sapphic attraction, then turns into something unexpectedly more!

Coral Evermore's avatar

Thank you so very much!! I’m glad that it seems to have ended on a more intriguing note!! It was hard not to right prose around it though haha

This was great. Like a scene in a back story about an ancient vampire. I don't know if the music and rain was cheating...but boy did it work.

Thank you so much!! Haha I’m glad the ambient music was immersive. I like to include what I write because I think it enhances the overall mood.

I always need ambient music to read and write to!!

Thanks again for reading!!🖤
