Hey guys... So I think I am going to take down In Flames... (temporarily?) I'm doing a massive revamp as soon as i finish the first draft... which should be soon. I'm going to take it down and reVAMP the thing, VAMPING up some of the characters. Vincent will Level up... same with Fiana and the whole cast... Except Erica. Erica can go f--... umm... yeah. basically I might change that scene... I DON'T KNOW. but yeah. I am also planning out a sequel for it... it doesn't really involve them but everyone's kids and whatnot... I can't tell you more than that or it will ruin a couple of big plot twists in the reVAMP.

There is a reason I have been capitalizing VAMP this entire time... CAN YOU GUESS!?

HELLO THERE!

Louis Carol once asked, "Why is a Raven like a writing desk?" In fact, the riddle has no answer what so ever, and only exists to confuse and irritate those who love riddles enough to think endlessly on this one in particular. Personally, I think the answer is another question: "What does this have to do with dinner? Feed me already!!"

Have I driven you off yet? no? damn. Well, in that case, I guess I will have to tell you about myself. this is a "Bio" after all. Where to start?

I am Raven. I write. I am.

I like ruffles. Ruffles and black, bla bla bla.

I am Raven Mayhem of the ROBOGOTH(tm) Cracktwins series. The other is Lara Manic. Seriously. Be afraid now.

My best friend is a lesbian, and my lifemate is an actor. Aren't I special?

Um. I'm going to do this fun character meme that i found because I feel like it. AHAH!

1. Vincent Keith Von Buren (Aural Vampire, clan is Olympia based)
2. Fiana Hart (Aural Vampire, clan is Olympia based)
3. Mia Benjamin (Bird-girl/rockstar)
4. Matt Paper (Bird-boy/rockstar)
5. Ciarán Áed (Raven Prince)

6. Mothy (Blood Vampire SF based clan)
7. Garreth (Raver human teen)

8. Germaine Petit- called "May" (Pregnant Catgirl)
9. Macy Franklin Von Buren (Aural Vampire Transvestite, Olympia clan)
10. Joel Sunny (Ferret Boy/drummer)
11. Colin Bleeker (wacky human...)
12. Frankie Rune Madrigal (Human girl)

01) Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?

... Um... Probably Collin. He'd have more flexibility on class hours. He'd probably teach Poetry or Photography or Yoga or something artsy like that.

02) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?

Um. She's pretty, not 'hot'... Personally I like chicks with shorter hair.

03) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?

Frankie would probably send May on a mission like "Can you grab me a t-shirt? Mine is soaking." May would succeed. woo~ go merchandise manager!

04) What is or would be 9's favorite book?

HAH! I can see Macy reading some romance novel. Probably Pride and Prejudice. laughs hysterically... Or Anne Rice...

05) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?

... probably that way, though Fiana is already dedicated to Vincent, and plus, she and Mothy are of different clans... wouldn't work too well.

06) For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?

Probably 10. I think the 'Transvestite Vampire' thing would kinda freak Ciarán out a bit. juuust a bit.

07) 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?

Italian, and they would discuss... um. Life, vampirism, swimming...

08) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?

... Mia would divebomb Joel, Joel would roll out of the way... in the end, the two would end up rolling around on the ground wrestling, until they both were too tired to continue.

09) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would she/he get it back?

I think May would chase him around, jump for it... and then end up accidentally tackling Vincent...

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.

... That Familiar Feeling- Save The Virgin. It's been done.

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?

Lesse... Fiana and Mia are kidnapped, Vincent is hired to do graphic designing for Matt's band...

12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Fine, I think... We'd probably go into music-geek-out time.

13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?

I'd have her... um... Fly me somwhere close.

14) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?

eh? No... He hasn't been written about or drawn by any one but me...

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?

uh... Fiana'd probably stick with Matt, seeing as he's the frontman of her favorite band...

16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?

Actually, I think Joel would be silent. Silent and deadly. stealthy like the ferret he is.

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?

This is Home by I Am Ghost or Never Too Late by Three Days Grace.

18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?

... Well Vincent and Moth would have a stare off, durring which Frankie would grab it.

19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?

Fiana: ... Um... Hi?

20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?

Treason... even though he's the prince. His father's REALLY got it out for him,...

21) What is 6's secret?

Mothy's secret would probably be that he is a vampire. He keeps it under wraps, you know?

22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?

Macy would probably get there first if he were to go all out vampire, but otherwise Colin.

23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?

DEFINATELY GARRETH. May would probably be the reason to get attacked in the first place. she's dainty and pretty... perfect target.

24) 1 and 9 reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's sinister secret organization. 11 volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5, they seek out 3 , who gives them what they need to complete their quest.

-What title would you give this fic?

"Hypnotic Music Happy-Time"

Vincent and Macy discover that Matt is out to take over the world by hypnotizing people with his music, and Colin decides to help... even though he is actually already hypnotized. Matt kidnaps Frankie because he thinks that they know her, but it turns out that they don't, so it is in vain. Ciarán Advises them to seek out Mia, who is Matt's Love interest... and she convinces Matt to stop.
