Umm ok so...
When Vampire Science was being first written, both Blum and Orman originally featured Grace in the story. However, a higher up at the BBC told them (about 15,000 words in, ahhh!) that they could not due to rights issues with Universal. So, Carolyn McConnel was created instead. However. this certainly did not stop miss Orman from posting the original draft of chapter one on her old webpage!
*fangirl squealing*
ENJOY!!!!

“Paul was also still getting together with John to write songs. Though their productivity seems to have slowed by autumn 1958, their ideas were merely branching out. Around October, perhaps during the half-term week at the end of the month, Paul made another visit to Mendips (‘John! Your little friend’s here again’) and was happy to find John typing a new poem. Actually, this one wasn’t a poem, it was more of a lunatic short story. Paul took one look and loved the wordplay, the typical Lennon phrases like ‘a cup of teeth’ and ‘in the early owls of the morecombe’. John called it ‘On Safairy With Whide Hunter’ and its origin was clear: it was from White Hunter, a TV adventure serial being shown by Granada, weekly yarns about ‘the surest and fastest shot in Africa’, overblown scripts brimming in bwana.
John let Paul join in and the satire became a way-out Lennon-McCartney Original.* Though some lines are characteristically John’s, especially the trademark renaming of the lead character every time he was mentioned (Whide Hunter is also Wipe Hudnose, Whide Hungry, Wheat Hoover and Whit Monday), others are probably Paul’s (‘Could be the Flying Docker on a case’ and also ‘No! but mable next week it will be my turn to beat the bus now standing at platforbe nine’). One imagines the two of them in stitches when they came up with lines like ‘All too soon they reached a cleaner in the jumble and set up cramp’. Another sentence – ‘Jumble Jim, whom shall remain nameless, was slowly but slowly asking his way through the underpants’ – could well have been a reference to Jim McCartney.
*Or as John put it, when it was part of a bestselling book six years later, ‘Written in conjugal with Paul’.”
– Mark Lewisohn in The Beatles – All These Years – Extended Edition: Volume One: Tune In (Chapter 14)

This looks so fucking cool! The black full body suit with the silver (hehe) and teal accents fits the dark future atheistic perfectly. Why did I never learned of this sooner?!

-Recording begins-
Spider-Man: Hi folks! I’d like to give a PSA to my usual villains, and anyone else with ideas for the next two months.
Spider-Man: *holds up a brick sized lump of metal* See this? It’s titanium!
Spider-Man: *starts flattening it out and shaping it*
Spider-Man: See, we all know that I’m crazy strong, but I never wanna really hurt anybody right? Right. While that hasn’t changed, something very important does right around this time of year.
Spider-Man: *pulls off a glove and pulls a chunk into a long stem with his nails carving lines for added texture*
Spider-Man: See, this is what we like to call exam season. Anybody who knows anything about college can tell you that it drives people up the wall, and I already climb mine when I’m antsy.
Spider-Man: *starts winding the thin sheet around the stem, delicately crimping petals in place*
Spider-Man: I do wanna be clear that this isn’t a threat, okay? I’m still not interested in crossing the line, which brings me to my point.
Spider-Man: *throws the titanium rose at the brick wall behind him, stem first, and embeds it all the way through*
Spider-Man: /That/ was restrained because I could focus enough to have full control. If I’m extremely tired or otherwise distracted, there’s just as much risk of me slipping up as someone operating heavy machinery. I’m probably not going to remember what sleep is for two whole months, so remember!
Spider-Man: *pulls out a brick and snaps it like a cookie*
Peter fucking Parker: Don’t.

“Nimona is still Nimona,” he says. “She could be a whale or a dragon or shark or a cat, and she’s still Nimona. Just as she could be a girl or a boy or a woman or a man or anything else. All of these other parts are all factions of her. None of them are the end-all be-all of who she is. So that is kind of how I think of my own gender now. There is still some of that monster girl that I still hold very close to my heart.”
ND Stevenson
