I can't put my finger on what's different, exactly. I mean, it's still symphonic metal, but...something.

Yeah. It's like they've invented a new sub-sub-genre, if there is such a thing. :)

It's just polite, really--something to start a conversation--but I always liked that.

I try to remind myself that, but it really freaks me out when a person remembers I'm a writer, when I can't even remember said person's face. LOL.

Ooo, thank you, I'd love it if you beta'd for me! Once I'm finished with this draft, I'll let you know. With regard to research, I actually didn't do much; I'm just going on what I know from reading books written by Victorians. I'd really like to know what you think of the vampire characters especially, since you're more of a fan of them than I am. :)

Thanks again, I really appreciate it! This made my day. :D
