Alucard's Eternal Slumber

Long after the game's heyday, I finally bought a Playstation, and immediately became hooked on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I played nothing else for, I think, about eight months. It was one of my soulbonding/fan-fiction writing/fan-art creating obsessions, and quite an enjoyable one that allowed me to explore some more "gothic" areas of my personality that were always there, but never so well accepted. The fan-fiction and fan-art that has resulted are collected here, and I still consider it among my best work, even now that the furor has long past.

Unfortunately, it was only some time after this obsession and its attendant fan-fiction began that I found the original canonical Castlevania timeline. And when I did, I found that I had already pretty much trashed it. (If you're so inclined, you can read an extensive ramble on this subject, which is here... essentially because I just felt like posting it. It also serves as a "statement of canon" for my fanfiction, in case that interests you.) Oh, well. The world would be boring if everyone did the same thing, right? I declared that I liked my version best and just kept on about it.

And this page is devoted to the results, so grab your whip and your rosary and enjoy!


If you dare...!
Sorry, had to try to get with the whole gothic mood just a little. You understand...

Probably my greatest fan-art endeavor of all time, a complete set of alternate illustrations for the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night instruction manual and jewel case inserts.


The Stories

The Demon
roseThe Demon's Tale
A short piece, based on a sudden inspiration: the story of the Demon Familiar from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, in its own voice. Just to get us on the same sheet of music and avoid confusion, in my own version of Alucard’s story, he actually lived with his Dad, quite against his will, for some time leading up to Castlevania 3 (when he fought Dracula along with Trevor Belmont et. al.). Most of the Demon’s Tale takes place in that time-frame, a few centuries before Symphony of the Night took place.

This is the story of Alucard's life, as he related it to me through the connection I had with him as a soulbond (but lest I mislead you, it isn't me that he's talking to in the narration). The part breaks are admittedly arbitrary, but most of them work pretty well. It was originally written all in one piece, but due to its length (65 pages), I've broken it down for the sake of loading-time and ease of reading.
roseCastlevania: Remembrance
A Castlevania story set in the 1950s, in which the Belmonts have become fairly typical Americans. History has a way of catching up...
