Disclaimer:

I have never, nor will I ever, own Van Helsing. I may own one movie, and I might own a couple actions figures (not really), but I do not own any of the original characters from the movie, or any other vampire movies, for that matter.

Today, I feel as though my artistic ability's have been tested greatly. Right now, I'm at 7th period and I'm sitting here in the Media Center (Library), thinking of ways to please my fans. Oh, bye the way, people involved in medieval reenactments need to shove it. Goodness, after this boring encounter during 6th period with this nature reserve fellow, I felt as though my brain would explode into a zillion pieces. Frankly, I really don't care about that erroneous aspect of reenacting wars that occurred thousands of years ago. I'd rather them remain a part of history, because that's what it is, right – history? Oh, well that was me, rambling on an on about unimportant things

Note

Anyone wishing to become a character in my story now may be your one and only chance to do so. Around five weeks ago, during that break you all so wished me to stay away from, an idea struck me. What if I took character ideas and names from someone other than myself? It's hard, you know – these days are full of begrudging terrors, and it would be a comfort to know that my faithful reviewers were on my side in both reviews and storyline. I might even create a side-story romance between Vladislaus and one lucky reviewer. However, this reviewer must be literate. First and foremost, the writer must show some potential. A characters potential's only as good as its writer's patience and skill. Without the basic fundamentals, then a writer will never accomplish anything.

Here are the guidelines for my character contest.

Must include the profile basics: name, race, age, blood-type, sign, and gender. Also, you must provide a family for your character. In one of the chapters I'll have a masquerade ball, and I'll introduce each selected character there.

Must have a (I won't accept it if it isn't this way) a detailed description of the character in question. If you wish your character to be a vampire, you must let me know by e-mail. My e-mail is qwakqwak15yahoo. then add the com. Also, the physical characters must be detailed.

Must include at least one paragraph of interactive writing, showing how you'd react towards each character. Basically, it's like a role play. I'll start off the first part, and then each of you may place what you like. (role play will be at bottom of page)

Include weapons of choice (your character will be a fighter!)

Include the clothes she's usually found in.

Interactivity among characters. Talk about those characters you dislike and like. (Remember and others, I know you may hate the brides, and I'll take that into consideration, but I have to have them in my story for a certain reason. I hate them as well, but keeping them in here will be worth it. I promise).

I also want a small description of the characters past. I will not accept those things which read, "Past Unknown". We have one character already whose past is unknown: Alexis and I won't be able to handle revealing two pasts, okay.

Please, send in the reviews! Apply in review or send me an application online. Also, I have a myspace account. to it!

Alexis woke up that morning feeling like she'd been speared in her side with a javelin. Those occurrences from before tapped along the edges of her memory, and each time she tried to remember, a great deal of pain shocked through her; frankly, her managing to emit a small "Ugh," amazed the maid who walked that very moment….

Okay, maiden wench, it's your turn to prove your writing abilities; RP with me as a maid who's trying to help Alexis get out of bed and function properly.

Her hearts sole desire

Of wandering in my willow tree

Where we once met in retrospect

My love, where art thee?

Where is thy bosom I wish to embrace?

Where are the spots and speckles?

Upon thy holy face?

Is it, this day, I must face

Is this day like all others?

That day when we were proclaimed

As lovers

Is it as it once was?

Or is it like those days we long

Lived in purgatory?

My lively spirit, feel free to resolve

Your condolences now,

But as thy deathbed slowly

Rots underneath my feet,

Remember, as your memories

Descend, my life will too begin
