Pro: Lots of funny moments. E.g. learning that the vampire who turned her wanted a natural blonde.

Great fun! Seems like she was trying to win a bet for how many SFnal character types one person could be. Maybe poking a little fun at mashups? Certainly no one can say this story isn't SF. :)
ReplyDeleteInstead of "Average" maybe I should pitch these as "Funny Though." :-)
