Author's Note:  The challenge? Fangfiction!  Write a love letter from a well established vampire to someone in another fandom.  I chose for Barnabas Collins from the Gothic Soap Opera, Dark Shadows, to write to Caroline Forbes of the Vampire Diaries.  Word Count: 200


My dearest Ms. Forbes,

As you may recall we met at a Mystic Falls tree lighting festival. I was the one with the silver wolf's head cane. We spoke at lengths. I mentioned how you were just as lovely as my sweet cousin, Carolyn Collins Stoddard. You said I reminded you of a man named Klaus. I was delighted that I stirred familial feelings in you.

Oh Caroline, since that fortunate meeting, I have followed your career extensively. You have proven yourself a master event planner when you hosted the historical society volunteer day, planned the sexy suds car wash and acted as a gracious hostess for the Mystic Falls beauty pageant. I admire the hard work, effort and care you put into each of your events.

Therefore, I would like to extend you an invitation to my home, Collinwood, located in the fishing town of Collinsport, Maine. Your valuable skills would be an asset in planning my 250th birthday celebration. Please say you'll attend! I wish for us to become better acquainted.

Sincerely yours,

Barnabas Collins

P.S. I would also like to discuss your doppelganger friend in more detail. She has an uncanny resemblance to my first love, Josette.
