Are you too wearing hard hats then?

Is Lurid wearing one of those little leather aprons with tools in?

Have to go and lie down in a darkened room for a while...

ZoCher: Yes. And wiping the sweat from his brow. And--

Okay, okay.

Naughty, naughty Zocher. I think we need to think pure thoughts. Perhaps this will help.

OK. It didn't.

You need lots of scrolling and blinking text. Everybody loves that stuff.

Yeah! And how about we make the background magenta and the text bright orange? And those small fonts look so modern, don't you think?

Right and you need to put up horrible fanfiction, especially the stuff that uses "u" and "l8r" and all those other oh so useful grammatical shortcuts. Everybody's just wild about it. Anybody is somebody does it. It's unique, unlike all these people with their silly grammar and spelling rules. Rules. Ick.

Black. It has to be all black. I can paint it black if you like. And none of those "light" blacks. It needs to be proper "dark black black" - I believe that is the technical name.

Exactly! And thanks to smartquotes, even if we get the punctuation right we STILL look like hamfisted morons to anyone viewing the page.

as long as its a black gothic font on a black background, I'll be happy.

OK, Lurid's idea has merit. But then we would have to have the dribbly red line of blood and a link to Sanguinarius.org, and the fanfic must be Ricean.

Hey, get with it. This thread's had, like, 13 replies. It needs rebranding.

Thanks guys. That photo of Ganesh' mother has calmed me down.

Don't know though, Jacqueline Pierce is a damned attractive woman...

Mmmmm, Servalan and Severin of the 'Lith, now I'm wondering if the two of you are hanging off scaffolding and whistling at the pretty Goths who pass furtively by?

Ganesh will be here in just over an hour and will, as the God of New Beginnings, bless your incipient and gloriously insouciant thread.

If you're going to go gothy and black, you need skulls, bad poetry, and a user name like Lestat5646786456.

Or a completely misspelt version, eg "Lehrstot." Or an almost-but-not-quite Ricean name, like Lestar.

A ramblind page about how you're a "real" vampire that drinks blood and never ages might be needed. But, wait, you're not an "evil" vampire. No, no, you're a good vampire, like Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The Night

The night enshrouds me
Oh when will he come?
My dark prince
He waits in the night
Where it's dark
And enshrouded by shadow
Like my life
Which is also dark.
My life is like death
Because it is dark
And also shadowy.

Does what ever a spider can
Spins a web
And other stuff
So you better watch out
Cos hes got radioactive blood.

Comic Sans MS. It's the best font in the universe, and makes you look really professional. Ideally do the whole site in it.

Oh, and counters with nice graphics. And webrings. Lots of webrings.

You know what's best for an under construction page? Animated GIFs of road signs, hard hats and traffic warning lights. They're just so cool!

Dark black black jellybabies.

If it's a goth site, you just have to use one of those unreadable Gothic fonts, like Frankenstein, for all of the text, no matter how small. And you gotta have those little animated-GIF flames and a 5-second reel of pseudo-spooky music (MIDI format).

Ganesh

Could we have a big skull, please? Preferably one of those cool animated ones with a mystic sigil on its forehead.

...which all leads to one my favourite dismissive remarks:

"It's a bit Geocities Goth, isn't it?"

The Monkey

...which summons up visions of that migraine inducing combo of black background with dark trying-to-be-blood red text.

I always thought it went:

"Is he strong?
Is he fuck!
he's got... etc..."

...and I could scan that pencil sketch of Dracula that my freind did in art class, and put that up! Neat!

I'm gonna write about me being a psychic vampire. It's true, y'know; people get tired being around me. Even my mother says I suck the energy out of her. I'm eeeeevil, I am.

And about how you just feel driven to wear black all the time. Which proves it.

Ganesh

11:24 / 28.07.02

And I have to stay in my room during the day because the light hurts my eyes and, like, burns my skin. If it's too hot. And I have to wear sunglasses all the time, even at night. Like in the Nancy Collins story. And the song.
