FICLET SNIPLET: "We are happy and we drink blood"

FICLET SNIPLET: We Are Happy and We Drink Blood
Author: Me, lobelia321
Fandom: Orig. My first vampire fic!
Warning: Haematophagy.
Rating: G. (Do origfics even need a rating?)
Words: Few.

Dedication and inspiration: This is for sheldrake who said that vampires in particular, and characters in fiction in general, need to be tormented, with which view I tend to agree except that I am perverse and immediately determined to write a fic about happy, happy vampires.



*

Happy, happy, happy.

Flopsy the vampire frolicked through the daisy-strewn meadow in the moonlight. His fangs glistened in the lunar light, and his feet danced as light as fairy froth.

A delicious scent sneaked through the nocturnal world. It was a delightful aroma that reminded Flopsy of Christmases past and birthdays future. His pert little nose twitched as it sought out the source of the perfume.

And there it was! Oh, happy! A manchild, asleep in the crook of a rock, its long lashes dark against its pale skin.

"Hello, Peter!" cried Flopsy and somersaulted down the hill.

The boy blinked awake and threw up his arms in welcome. "Hewwo, Fwopsy!" he laughed. The child's neck was like a pretty necklace of ruby reds.

"I'm so happy to see you, Peter Rabby sweetie-pie friend!" cried Flopsy.

"And I'm so happy to see you!"

They played leapfrog, ring-a-rosies, tag and hopscotch until the wind blew them down in a glad tumble in the nook of a brook, and Flopsy embraced his dear little friend and took a juicy bite out of Peter's sweet plump neck.

Peter wiggled and giggled; he was a very ticklish young lad.

Afterwards, Petey curled up to sleep until sun-up. Flopsy gamboled across the craggy tops, singing "The hills are alive", and then chased clouds all the way home to his coffin.

FLOPSY.

o my brain.

chasing clouds all the way to the coffin is a peculiarly lobelia321-esque image.

Is it? Thank you so much. Point me to any recent ficlets and fics of yours! I've missed so much!

:-) And you have got to write some SGA. I need to read Gloria-SGA. Try a flashfic challenge; that might be an easy way in.

Flashfic backwards-R Us!
recent ficlets linked from here
(don't let the 'kink' bit put you off. See here about my disinclination to write straightforward smut)

The current WIP (the one that isn't evil historical crossover-verse) is SG:A. Clichefic!

By the way, how do you feel about the DVD Commentary thingie? Because there are fics of yours that I would love to colour in and scribble over.

How would the word 'kink' possibly put me off?? *g* The opposite is true. But gosh, I learned a lot just now! AMTDI, SSC, all these new acronyms and kinks wot I had never heard of and may have to google. Also: people seem to feel really strongly about these things. Golly, I say. Does squickability still exist in fandom? I thought we all got over ourselves in the year 2004 or something. But I suppose there are always new waves of newbies who have yet to discover the back button.

Flopsy! Flopsy the vampire! OMG, you made the cutest, tweeest (good word) vampire in the universe! :D

(Note: the above is my attempt at a VAMPIRE emoticon. Vicious, no?)

You realise, don't you, that I will *never* be able to read Beatrix Potter again without this subversive little number wiggling it's cute little tail at me ...?
*snuggles you*

I tried to make an icon last night, sticking teeth onto Huncamunca the mouse but my photoshop skills are too pathetic so it never made it to LJ. Here, though, is my attempt at a VAMPIRE emoticon:

View it and shudder.
