Reminiscent Of Memoirs
A/N: Okay, this is the first time that I've actually replied to the nice people who have reviewed my stuff.
So first off, Big W: I will always value your reviews. While not exactly a 'guiding light in the darkness', as those usually turn out to be the pilot lights for a flamethrower, your reviews put my work into a sort of reference frame.
The ulnar artery is the big artery in your wrist. You know, the one you slash when you're committing a cutter's suicide. The sensual part wasn't really deliberate, it just popped in there. Though in hindsight, the 'sex' part makes a bit of sense. Think about it, the whole turning of a human into a vampire through the draining of blood through the jugular artery and the infusion of vampire blood? It's a deliberate perversion of kissing and, if you think about it, sex. I had originally intended this fic to give insight into Alucard's thoughts and his past and then my brain got to thinking and my fingers took over. It happens.
Lady Raylen: I hope I spelled your name right. Alucard is supposed to be old. In my opinion, anyone who writes him as otherwise needs to spell the name Dracula backwards and do a lot of research into the background of Vladimir the IV also called Dracula the son of Drakul, fourth emperor of Transylvania and scourge of the Turks.
And while I hadn't intended for you to be on the edge of your seat, I'm quite pleased that this made you do so. At least something I do works.
Nalarava the Red: The cliffhanger was appropriate in my mind. I mean, it's almost the exact same way that Hellsing the anime ended. A huge opening there for interpretation. So I thought that this little contribution of mine should fit into the mold.
Silk Hope: Yes I do enjoy messing with the minds of my reader's. It's just one of the few pleasures I can get from being a wrtier.
All this is said for everyone who's given at least some effort in guiding me and my work. The rest you should either join up, sign in or just try to help out your favorite authors.
My final closing note: no I did not watch the anime a hundred times to study for the creation of this fic, I didn't read all the Hellsing fic, research the Impaler nor read loads of vampire lore. I did that quite a few months ago and it all just stuck in my head. Things do that. No I will not continue with this fic. It's all done. I just wrote this bit to thank everyone who reviewed in a manner that I felt was helpful and not just "you will update or die."
