    Well, hello there! Turns out I’m not completely done with fanfic (just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in).

    Author's Note: Well, hello there. It’s been a long time, and there are a few reasons for that. My motivation for writing fanfiction has waned a bit, primarily because I've gravitated away from Pokemon. I’ve mostly lost interest in following both the games and anime and I don’t really interact...

It took a sprint of over 1.3k words on the last day, but it was worth it. So, this is that "vampire story" I've been talking about...
