Author Notes: Okay, so here's the thing. This story came about during a conversation with the ever-awesome Wepdiggy. I told him of my desire to write a "Chuck" horror story. Realizing I probably couldn't get away with a straight horror fic, I decided to write an homage to a classic. After nixing the idea of "An American Werewolf in London" (for now), I went with the 1931 version of "Dracula". It's that Bela Lugosi classic that created the framework for this story.
However, since I'm a horror fanatic, I incorporated various other tales into the framework. The most notable being the classic novella "Carmilla", written by the terribly underrated Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Written in 1872, it predates Stoker's "Dracula" by 25 years. And just because I could, I threw in a little Christopher Lee era Hammer, plus some season five "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" into it. If anybody understands what I just wrote, then you're my new best friend.
So you know, this story does contain some language and dialogue. It also does contain lesbian themes, though nothing at all graphic. It's merely a by-product of Sarah assuming the Dracula role and general themes contained within the original gothic era source materials, particularly "Carmilla". And please remember, if the style and dialogue seems weird, it's because I'm trying to mesh a 1931 movie with a modern day TV show. It's a tough task, so bear with me.
I also give thanks to mxpw (who is also completely awesome, as well as a literature guru), for telling me this idea had merit and that I should write it.
Be on the lookout tomorrow, October 31st, for the conclusion of this tale. Two more parts, plus an epilogue.
