Description:
Welcome to the Blood Countess ATC swap...a little history on her before you decide... Elizabeth Bathory, known as The Blood Countess, may have more to do with Bram Stokerâ€™s Dracula than Vlad the Impaler. Notes about her were found in Stokerâ€™s papers, so heâ€™d certainly heard of her! In 1610 Hungary, local authorities began investigating the disappearance of local girls. Transylvanian Countess Elizabeth Bathory was subsequently imprisoned, walled into a tiny room with only a small slot to pass through food. In 1614 she was found dead in her cell. Sheâ€™d been charged with murdering hundreds of young women, believing their blood would keep her young and beautiful. This ATC is definitely not for the queesy (is that how you spell that?) or easily offended. I have a feeling some of these ATC's will be very adult orientated. For this swap you will be making one ATC for 1 partner. You can use any technique or material, but please don't slap a sticker on it and call it a day. Create something you would LOVE to receive. Newbies are welcome with a filled-out profile. Everyone with more than 5 swaps completed must have a 4.8 or higher and no 1s. I reserve the right to ban...and flakers are lame, so please don't join if you don't intend to send, ya dig?

When I was in high school, back in the days of gaslamps and horseless carriages, I wrote a play about her. It was terrible, but I was awfully proud of it anyway. I have it on watch for now, but I will definitely join!
