I had to do a Dark Vampire fic. I needed to. Vampires scared the holy hell outta me when I was growing up and I really wanted to harken back to the damnation and utter loss of original personality that goes on in some of the earlier myths.
And I'm so glad you liked the art. The fic kinda evolved from the artwork. And the Stake, HA! my first inclination was the bloody girl, but I agreed with you, too much shock value. The stake served the purpose better and actually IMHO ended the story better as it illustrated what would happen in the future.
