Hello, hello!
I'm Fiona, author of Vampires & The Vapors.
I want to give you a brief tour of how to find your way around here. Vampires & The Vapors consists of three main sections (so far).
Vampires & The Vapors - This is where you'll find the articles I post every Monday. These are usually advice articles and thought pieces about Depression management and suicide prevention. I've also got plans to add some articles about vampires but every time I sit down to write one, I tend to start writing about Depression instead. I just can't help myself.
Every Friday (NZ time) I post a weekly roundup which includes articles and fiction that has caught my eye during the week. There's so much talent here on substack we need to share it around.
A Vampire Cursed - This is where you'll find my serialized novel about Eilidh, an ancient vampire who is suffering from The Tediums, a condition that affects vampires when they become, literally, bored out of their minds.
The Saxenda Saga - This is my personal diary of my journey with the weight loss drug, Saxenda. We have limited options here in NZ, otherwise I'd probably be on Ozempic, but right now, Saxenda is my best option. God knows, I've tried everything else.
Please feel free to comment on any and all sections and posts. I try to add a comment button but I don't always remember so just take it as a given. I want to know what you think. I'm all about discussion and I promise you I won't get all precious about you voicing your opinion. We're all adults here.
So, enjoy my little corner of the world. If you'd like to DM me please do but don't just say “hello.” Make sure you have a question or a comment to make, otherwise I suspect you're a bot. And nobody likes a bot now, do they?
