The Heart and the Hunger Masterlist

The bounty hunter didn’t mean to find an injured vampire, but sometimes jobs don’t go according to plan. And they can’t just leaveit; that would be reckless, and put the whole town in danger. So they take it home.

Content warnings for lots of dehumanization, including use of “it” as a pronoun.

This series was heavily inspired by @whumping-every-day ’s Callum and Ash series, which you can find the masterlist for here. I got to the end of the series, went I WANT MORE, and then apparently the only solution was to write it myself. So, here you go.

Another big source of inspiration for this comes from @ashintheairlikesnow ’s Vampire Chris AU, which you can find the masterlist for here. This inspired things like vampire brothels and the idea of people using vampires as drug dispensers for their narcotic-like venom.

Note: the vampire is female, but she currently uses “it” as a pronoun because of heavy conditioning. I am tagging the entries as “lady whump” and “female whumpee” because of this.

[What is this and how can I participate?]

Interview number 75!!!! How cool is that? 

I’m so happy and so proud of this incredible number, and can’t wait to talk to many more people with this project. But in the meantime, enjoy my chat with Kim! It even features a photo!!

Important note: I haven’t changed or edited any of the answers. I’ve only formatted the book titles so they were clearer, but nothing else. Because I’m incapable of shutting up, my comments are between brackets and in italics, so you can distinguish them clearly.

[Image description: a square titled “Know the blogger”. Name & pronouns: Kim, she/they; country: United States; three adjectives to describe her: curious, fun-loving & silly /end]

Note of accountability from youthbookreview/Kim: This post has been edited to replace an adjective (which I won’t repeat) which is a disability slur, which I originally used in ignorance. I apologize for this usage and any harm it has caused.

1. What question(s) would you ask your favourite author, if you had the chance?

Ooh, what a great question! My biggest question right now, which I would pose to any author whose books I enjoy, is in what order they wrote the books that they’ve gotten published. I just finished reading an ARC of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, for example – I’m very curious if Weir wrote this before or after The Martian. It’s very reminiscent of The Martian, so is this Weir going back to a formula that worked before, or was this him finally getting a manuscript finished after working on it for, like, 5 years? Very curious about different authors’ writing processes and how that plays out in publishing!

[I actually love this question! Definitely would have never occurred to me, but now that you mention it, it’s really interesting! Does the writing style vary from one Weir book to the other or is it the same?]

2. Last book-related gift you got?

My mom got me this amazing bookend for Christmas this year!:

(Image description: 11 books stacked upright, including titles such as Ready Player Two and These Violent Delights. Holding up one side is a bookend shaped like a librarian putting books away on a bookshelf)

[It’s so lovely!! Props to your mum for choosing so well!]

3. Do you set yearly reading goals?

Hahaha nooo, I’m a pretty slow reader, so it actually kind of depresses me whenever I look back at the number of books I’ve completed in a year. It’s always fewer than the number of books I’ve added to my TBR that year – not a great pattern to be in! So I prefer not to pay attention to the numbers. xD

4. Have you ever organized a reading challenge or readathon?

Not a challenge or readathon, but I’ve hosted/co-hosted a couple of Traveling Book Projects (idea originally conceived of by @readaroundtherosie​ – one or more books get shared around and everyone reads and annotates it) and a couple of Favorite Book Swaps in which folks signed up, listed their 3 favorite books, and got paired up so they could read a book off their partner’s list. Shout-out to @booksbeyondimagining​ for co-hosting the Favorite Book Swaps with me and to @librarianlucy​ and @brittsreadery who co-hosted the first Traveling Book Project with me!

[I can’t believe I interviewed Alison and she didn’t mention anything of how her idea of the Travelling Books Project came to be!!! It’s a really nice project, it must have been a joy to plan!]

5. Would you want to work in publishing (as a writer, editor, agent, copywriter, whatever) or would you prefer not to touch that world at all?

Yes, as a writer! I’ll stick to libraries as my day job but it’s my lifelong dream to get traditionally published one day.
