This summer is going to be a return to vampires... I'll be in full on writing mode, so I'm keeping my head in vamp books, old and new.

When I was maybe 6 years old, my sister and I had a truly awful animated version of Pocahontas on VHS. Not the Disney version, just some weird film with a similar storyline that I really don't remember much about... But the first time we ever watched it, as the credits closed, the entire screen cut to white noise (as they tended to do) and out of nowhere, it faded away and showed this animated panning shot of a fancy ballroom, viewed through tall, ornate windows... and inside, the Disney version of Pocahontas was dancing around with a partner in a huge, flouncy yellow dress. It cut to black, and from then on, whenever we put the VHS on, we never saw the scene. It just disappeared.
A few years later, we saw the exact same scene again – on a trailer for Disney's Pocahontas 2, which was released later that month. We never figured that one out, how we managed to see a scene from a trailer for a film that wasn't even in production yet... but we both saw the same thing and remember it perfectly. I'm guessing it was a bit of a glitch in the Matrix.

Ooh, hmm... Full on fantasy world, probably somewhere like Alagaësia because frankly it sounds beautiful and it just... has a lovely logic to it. I love a logical, balanced magic system.

The coffee pot was empty. The bag of beans... bare.
