Seven years ago we all went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured. It is an added joy to Mina and to me that our boy's birthday is the same day as that on which Quincey Morris died.

Thanks to the mods for bringing us this!

So: what happens to the community now? It would be a shame just to shut it up completely. Maybe we could have some round-up discussion posts? :)

Definitely one or two discussion round-ups, at the least. We could open posting for everyone on the community, as one possibility? At any rate, we'll be posting the short story 'Dracula's Guest' in a short while here, for anyone interested.

You're welcome, as is everyone else! I was planning to reply to everyone here individually, but wow, there's so many now. You're all very welcome, though, and we'll say so properly in the very near future!

It might be nice to have a post on each of the characters by way of round up, as people have said very interesting things about each of the characters but often in the context of looking at other things at the same time, so some detailed character studies would be fun.

"...for Godalming and Seward are both happily married",

*waves hand* me too with the giggling.

I'm sad there won't be any more letters from the characters. I'd half-hoped that the mods would start doing fanfic or parodies.

You're bad :) (I giggled, too.)

Add me to the giggle crew.

This was a fun way to read the novel. It's been a long time since I've read the novel and it was so much fun to read it in little spurts like this. You get much more out of it, I think. And tons more to snark over.

Quincy died? I'd forgotten about that part. :-(

Anyway, lots of thanks to the mods and everyone who's participated. I feel like we've all been on a journey together.
