For World Book Day In England Justin Somper wrote Dead Deep.
What would you write the next Vampirates short story about?
then comment on other shipmates ideas.
I think for a short story, it should be about Graces spare time on the vampirate ship, like what connor had in "Dead Deep". since the vampires are quite formal at the feasts, before the food, should be a dance than just wasn't shown in the books. The problem could be that Grace keeps on being switched from Lorcan, to Sidorio, To the Captain, and Sidorio is making her immensily nervous with His sly smiles, and keeps looking at her neck (this formal party could be before Sidorio attacks her in the proper books and gets exiled.). And i was thinking that towards the end Grace would have a nice long relationship building chat, where he's comfort her and so on :)
i made a mistake on my Idea before, people might mistake the relationship building chat was with sidorio, when i meant to put Lorcan. Sorry about that.
I would love to see a short story about Dexter, Sally and Lorcan before the twins were born, to make it more clear the connection between them.
It would be nice to have a short story after maybe number four book (only if it isnt already put in the fourth book) were Grace after having an idea about cross stories asks the captain about he's own special creepy story: is he a vampire? how did he came to be the captain? who crossed him? and how did he knew her mother? and because we all like action scenes especially described in books were fantasy runs free... in this short story the vampirate ship could be attacked by Sidorio. or maybe a Sidorios spy comes to the Nocturn and finds out ways of killing other vampires cos Sidorio is trying to extinguish the Nocturn's vampires and feel free to Connor the world and beggin a new era were vampires are the worst nightmare you could ever have! (ok maybe the part with the spy is to big but it still would be a cool short story!)
I believe that there must be a lot more short stories. for each vampirate book a small story and when the books become films the short stories can be added as an extra credit at the main menu. Short stories will become short films! (i would really appreciate it if Justin Somper could read it it may actually help)
"there will be an extra book in 2009. This will be a collection of the Crossing Stories, compiled by Grace through her many meetings and talks with the Vampirates."
A short book with the 'crossing' stories of some of the vampirates, even if if it just random little characters stories.
how did Sidorio get golden fangs
I would also love it if there was a short story about some of Grace's time aboard the Nocturne (like when she claim's that she had seen Lorcan and Shanti after the feast) or about the twin's life in Crescent Moon day before Demons of the ocean. Darcy's life would be good too.
I would love to read a short tale about how the different ships and Ma Kettle's tavern celebrate Christmas, New Year or the Tempest Twin's Birthdays.
