Tyger Tyger Burning Bright

Recently I've stumbled across someone who could work very well as a reference for another one of my OCs and also pictures of someone with their hair dyed in rainbow colours and I'm feeling like the alignment of these two things is telling me I need to attempt drawings of some of my OCs soon (though I'd also be tempted to give that particular character hair dyed blue and yellow sometimes. For... reasons) 

I am kind of stuck on the idea of Mary Watson dying but she was actually turned by a vampire so a while after she dies she comes back as a vampire but Watson is still kind of like... nope, she is still dead to me. Moriarty and Moran maybe take her under their wing then. 

Me seeing an advert for a life insurance company that supposedly pays 100% of claims: Would they still pay out if you got killed by a vampire but then resurrected?

 It occurred to me the other day that another issue I'm having with trying to find stories about vampires to read is (aside from so much being 'young adult' anyway) so many of them are (like practically everything else) set in America. I don't want to read things set in America and when so much vampire folklore comes from Europe/eastern Europe anyway why is so much vampire stuff set in America? In so many 'recommended' lists the only exception to this seems to be the 'classic' stuff like Dracula and Carmilla which I don't like or Newman's Anno Dracula which I a/ already read years ago and b/ hate (and no I will never forgive Newman for his awful portrayal of Moran in Anno Dracula, or for a lot of the shit he did with Moran and Moriarty in The Hound of the D'urbervilles for that matter. I also absolutely hate his 'style' of cramming dozens of everyone else's characters into his stories). Even a lot of other stuff involving Dracula though seems to end up set in America still.  If I search again now all that's coming up is yet more 'young adult' stuff I do not want to read and The Lights of Prague which I already read last year and found so incredibly boring that it went straight to the charity shop (even unexpected queer characters couldn't save it).

It's just another thing though where... what I want doesn't exist (vampires as the protagonists, not strictly following 'traditional' vampire folklore/pop culture ideas, not set in America and preferably set in the UK or Europe, not 'Young Adult', preferably at least partly set in the Victorian era or thereabouts, with queer characters and m/m content but not just 'vampire romance/smut'), and if it is to exist I have to create it myself. The same as anything about Moriarty and Moran. Which I suppose is why it feels inevitable that I'm seriously thinking about this thing with vampires and Moriarty and Moran in it. But I hate this, that every time I have to do it all myself. Where the various elements exist separately it's things I don't like (and in many cases have already wasted my money and time on in the past anyway) and the things I want never exist together.
