You know you're a crazy fantasy writer when you write a parody that combines the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer with the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. Yes, I did that. And no, I don't sing it. ;) It's just lyrics.

Here it is: http://jonathangarner.blogspot.com/2012 ... pires.html

I'm just reading through Dracula again. :D I'm glad there's a Van Helsing, and Harker, and Seward, and Holmwood/Godalming, and Morris. Especially Morris. That's a good song, Jon.

I posted on the blog, Jonathan, but since you have a thread here, as well, I thought I would do so again.

I find it very funny that you wrote a twilight piece. ;) It is very good, though, and shows a deep and disturbing depiction.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Thank you, Airianna. :D I wanted it to have a satirical bite to it (no pun intended) as well as to be amusing.

Very interesting idea to combine these two, Jonathan. Really well done! I enjoyed reading it. Amusing...and disturbing.

And, I went and read the original "Imagine" song. Ugh. :pale:
