The Results Of The Poll

[calliopes_pen]

My thanks to everyone who voted! Dark Shadows (1991) received 4 votes in the poll; Dracula received 6 votes, once everything was tallied up on both the LJ poll, and the Dreamwidth poll. So when nominations open for Yuletide, it will definitely be Dracula for the third fandom.

I’m re-reading the novel right now, actually. I know for a fact that I should definitely nominate Jonathan Harker, and Mina Harker. I'm being attacked by prompts to ask for when it comes to Jonathan anyway. I might nominate Lucy Westenra for the third character. The fourth is either going to be Dracula or Van Helsing.

ETA: And so it's settled--the fourth character nomination for the Dracula novel will be Van Helsing, and I'll cross my fingers and hope others nominate the rest of the cast.

I'd love to see more fic about Van Helsing!

Then, he'll be the fourth one!

(And I suddenly realize the only Dracula icons I have are the Nosferatu one, and this one. I shall venture forth to find others soon.)

Thank you! ^.^

Dramatic Dracula moments should make for good iconning~

Yay, Dracula! I look forward to asking for Lucy/Mina.

Yay! Dracula! I'm totally willing to nominate some of the other characters from the book, and I'm starting my reread already <3

Yay! you know, when I was about 13, my father told me Dracula was the scariest book he'd read when he was a kid, so I checked it out of the library the very next day. And I found it to be one of most boring novels I ever tried to read.

Do you have a twitter feed? If you do, you might want to follow @MinasJournal for a webseries based on the Stoker novel. i'm hoping it'll be good.

Everyone's tastes are different. I was one who always liked it. Not so much for Dracula's Guest, from what I recall of reading it in the library when I was exempt from exams in 9th grade. That short bit I found dull at the time. (Dracula's Guest was almost the first chapter, until Stoker was advised to remove it. It was only published by his widow after his death.)

Do you have a twitter feed?

No, but I'll try to remember to check back in on MinasJournal later on, and see how it is.

I didn't know that about "Dracula's Guest". Interesting. I'll have to go to Project Gutenberg and download it now.
