Hey guys!
Yup, this is not an actual chapter of what you want but this is a note to talk about something cool and awesome that's been going on. For those of you who aren't aware or who may have forgotten, a lovely group of writers have been collaborating this year to rally our community into writing specials for the Vampire Academy's 10th anniversary. I was honored and overjoyed to be asked to write a little one shot for this holiday's theme: Halloween! Now as I'm sure you have learned I am a terrible procrastinator and my submission may have been a little too late to be included in the grouping. If it wasn't too late, you can go check out my submission and the many other submissions by amazing authors in our little fandom at the pen name: VA10thanniversaryproject. If it was too late, well shucks, but still go check out the amazing submission made by the other writers for this and previous releases. So far they have four (FOUR!) other compilations for mother's day, father's day, valentines day (oohlala) and an AU story line. The Halloween special comes out tomorrow, on Halloween so keep your eyes peeled for that, as well as the festive special that will be happening in December. Much love to the writers who organized this event, the participants, and you, the amazing fans that keep this happy train rolling. I've included a teaser of my submission (which I'll probably cross post over here in a week or so even if it does get included in this event) below.
Until next time,
Carot
Story Title: Daymares and Nightdreams
Author: dcarot
Background: When someone is living the perfect life, what are their nightmares filled with? When someone is living a nightmare, what haunts their dreams. The following are two stories, one from Lissa's point of view and one from Rose's. I'm not sure I have a specific point in the timeline for the first half but the second part, Rose's POV, is very clearly from Blood Promise. I think dreams are never straight forward, but always say something, and I think what Lissa and Rose experience here brings up some of the real questions they faced in the books. Hard truths, in my opinion are the scariest things of all. MA for very (sexy) adult themes.
