The truth is rarely pure and never simple.This is the general thread to discuss my current project - a Saiyuki Alternate Universe story entitled "Somewhere I Belong." The link to the story can be found here: www.fanfiction.net/s/1769932/1/I created this particular topic because I wanted to ask everyone exactly what they wanted to see. By this, I mean, what has caught your interest, and might be something you would like to have explained. I realize that since the story is still in its infant stages in terms of plot that there is a lot that HASN'T been explained, but it never hurts to find out what the reader might find confusing. I already know that many people found the beginning of the story confusing. I actually meant to write it like that - to throw the reader right into the action without an explanation of what was going on. The reader is to figure things out as the story goes along. So...! I give everyone permission to ask me questions about the story. I will answer as many as I can and to the best of my ability (there are some things even *I* don't know yet.. ^^; ..but that's half the fun ^.~ ), and as long as they don't contain spoilers for later in the plot. <3333 -Iapetus

You know what I want! A continuation of the statement about someone in Oniori committing a murder and becoming a vampire him/herself! Hee, I stated that in a review, and I'm going to punctuate it here. Other than that, I feel the fic merits a re-read before I can jot down any other questions. (Okay, so I just want to re-read it. Sue me.)

I don't have questions, I have demands...
Update, damn you!
There is going to be more 39 smut, right?
Is anything going to happen between Kou and Yaone?
Oh damn these are all spoiler questions. Umm... How long does it take for someone with vampire blood on them to become a vampire?

I agree with Kitsune-oni. The vampire idea is an intriging one.
Waiting for the next chapter on tiptoes (so I appear taller).

Figured I'd drop in and say, "Hey, I love your story."
Questions? Sure.
I doubt you'll answer this as it's the whole suspensey cliffhanger thing, but in chapter 6 (Impervious] when you say "Tell Shuuei that he should be more careful with who is allowed to know of him. Master Koumyou wouldn't have appreciated hearing his apprentice's name in a bar where anyone could hear it.", are you referring to Sanzo? >.<
When's the GojyoxHakkai coming up? I am a total sucker for 58 slash and was wondering how long I'd have to wait.....Lol.
And, yes, you guessed it.....update! Update! *cheer squad* give me a U!!! *desperately thinking ~join in, everyone, PLEASE!!!~*

*joins in* GIVE ME A P! GIVE ME A D! GIVE ME AN A! GIVE ME A T! GIVE ME AN E! UPDATE!
Anyway...
I was also wondering about the part elven quoted, but I figured it was one of those "you'll find out about that later" type of quotes.
I just can't wait 'til Sanzo and Goku meet again! *bounces up and down happily*
You know, this idea has intrigued me so much that I've actually had day/night dreams (you know those half-awake "I'm going to dream up a mary sue fic to amuse myself"?) that include vampire versions of Sanzo, Kou, etc.
Unfortunately, thinking of Sanzo as a strong vampire conjures up ideas of a relatively weak Goku caught in Sanzo's lair. *g*

Lol yeah same!!! Was wondering if anybody else did that. Some of my best ideas come while laying in bed...late at night or in the morning. I would say early morning, but if I have time to think while in bed, it's only on the weekends at 10am when I wake up. >.<
*phew* Thank Kanzeon I'm not the ONLY crazy fangirl here. *links arms with kitsune-oni* *high-kicks* UPDATE!! UPDATE!!!

Well… due to computer problem (among many other things), I haven’t really been able to access the boards until just recently. So… I’ll answer all questions asked so far in one post. I’m going to answer them in order that they were asked.
For KarotsaMused~
Believe me, it will come up. The reason why is actually a bit of a plot twist, so I can’t say exactly why right now. However, it’s this factor which make my vampires *mine* in my eyes. <3
For Kitsune-oni~
First off, I wasn’t aware that there was smut between Sanzo and Goku yet. O.o *goes off to look* …nope, no smut yet. I WANT to write the smut, but it isn’t time for it yet.
Yes… there will be smut between them. Obviously not posted on the ff.net version, but yes, there will be some.
Yes, something will happen between Kougaiji and Yaone. The “KY” label on my summary is a strong indicator of this. *grins* They will also have a lime scene. I don’t know if I’m going to write them a lemon scene or not, but I didn’t want to say anything about it unless I was sure. So, no promises on *that* one.
Having vampire blood *on* a person doesn’t make them a vampire. I borrowed the model of how people become vampires from the anime/manga series Hellsing. In it, a true vampire must put a little of their own blood into the bloodstream of their victim. If this is done, then the person will also become a true vampire. However, they will be bound to the one who turned them, and that individual is their “master.” I’m not sure if/where/what model/legend was used for this, so I just say that it’s from Hellsing.
However… in SiB it should be known that not all vampires are very good at holding back their own blood while feeding on someone else. So, this is the reason most victims are drained completely – so a new vampire is not created. It wouldn’t be good to create more competition now, would it? But to answer your question about incubation for new vampires… I’d say it’d depend on how little blood is in the victim’s system and how much vampire blood is. In Kougaiji’s case, it took about fifteen to twenty minutes. So it works pretty quick.
For elven dreamer~
First off, Sanzo was referring to Shuuei. This isn’t really a spoiler, since his name *was* mentioned in that bar scene, but I don’t blame people for not remembering that. That line was *meant* to be confusing, so I guess I did well there….? *sweatdrop*
As for 58ness… expect a little bit of a glimmer in chapter eight (so, the chapter after the next one). A very small glimmer – nothing like the blatant UST I gave for Sanzo and Goku or the beginnings of hints for Kougaiji and Yaone.
For everyone~
On the updating issue… I don’t know. O.o I won’t give you a time, because I never meet those. >.> However, as of this post I DO have 1000ish words for the next chapter. There is a good chance that this chapter will be slightly smaller than the others, but that is because there is nothing else I can really *say* in this chapter. Some things need to wait a chapter or two before they can be written. ^.~
If you have any more questions, don’t hesistate to ask. <3

I agree with you there, elven.
Don't worry Iapetus. Even if there hasn't been any 39 smut yet, the story's so *ripe* for smut that my mind did it for me. *g*
