Last year when i took a creative writing class i started writing a story i named Strigoy (or Strigoi when i had to explain it)
Now i was the odd ball in the class, i was the only one when the teacher read my work journal to get a red flag because of my graphic nature, love of scifi and well explanation of murder and self abuse.
I was also the one who giggled and joked in class everyday.
I had to explain my story alot because everyone else wrote stuff that wold make good movies (suspense, love stories no scifi)
if you want to read some here http://www.fireflyfan.net/showblog.asp?b=6242
now im saying this to point out that i am odd.
Strigoy is a story of a girl who was murdered with 5 of her best friends at a slumber party when the hosts parents where targeted for a mob hit.
And didnt stay dead.
and has the last few years been killing the scum of the earth (yes i like the punisher) using her untraceable magical powers, the ablity to change her appearance down to the finger tips, the ability to see the auras of man, and they ghosts that haunt her in her mind, her friends and a monster that drives her to kill.
The story itself is focused around her finding a comrade and possible lover and find her way to the 'Family' that killed her.

tonight my mom found a page from a comic i drew at age 13.
Besides the poorly drawn woman (i dont do people well) but almost scarily well drawn condoms and weapons (if i can scan i might share the page)
The Comic was called Grim (i might want to work on this story too)
This story was about a woman named Taynrem Reynolds, who works in an ER in LA as doctor.
And in these two pages tells you she was abused as a child and shows you the tattoo that covers the scar. tried to kill her self seven years ago, Has a two year old daughter and Had a son who would be 12, is divorced from her still famliure husband (thats why i drew condoms) and by any definition of the word is a serial killer.
If i remember the story i had in my mind, at night she killed the Pimps, Drug Deals, and Gang members of the streets of LA, for her son, her true love and possible for the sick enjoyment of the kill.

Is it weird that 8 years apart from each other i wrote two stories that involve women (that ones not a surprise i dont under stand the mind, mannerisms, and desires of men) that hide/disgues themselves and kill people?
The big difference is Grim is about a woman who snapped and desided she could do better than the cops, and Strigoy, is aout a woman boound my the mysic forces tat kept her from dying to kill evil.

im almost worried....

I wouldn't worry. Writers often have certain themes that show up in their works, and you seem to have an interest in vigilante-ism and the consequences of it (one of the reasons why I also love The Punisher, especially when Garth Ennis writes him). I don't have time now but I'll take a look at your story later. ;)

i would like to point out that in Grim the main character was straight.
In Strigoy she is gay.
and In Grim her daughter isnt actually her daughter.
