So we were playing Champions of Norrath last night and when Mormaz pulled out his heart, I immediately thought that the vampires could be searching for their hearts.
This doesn’t dovetail too well with a stake, ala Anita in Obsidian Butterfly.
Anyway, I could spin this as in heart == love, but I’m not sure this is [...]

Sharon Lee and Steve Miller produced two excellent examples of Serialized Science Fiction and look to turn a buck on it. A huge difference between them and myself is that they are scarred veterans of the publishing world. :->
Anyway, here are some links to the examples:

Hmm, I remember when Atlas Comics hit the scene - I really liked their Planet of Vampires. But I seem to recall an even shorter lived comic in which the astronauts were just orbiting the Earth.

So I have an image in my mind of an ethereal woman - her hair must be long and blonde. I can see it now, whipping about her face.

Her tounge must lash out, a snake, with [...]
