Context and Development
The author, unfried-mouth-wheat, was an active participant in Daily Dracula discussion on Tumblr. When a post proposing Jonathan Harker would do well as a character in Frankenstein, he contributed with a short fic about Jonathan meeting Frankenstein's monster on his way to Dracula's castle, and a second snippet about Dracula booking passage on Robert Walton's ship and immediately getting recognized as non-human by Victor Frankentsein.[1] The post went viral and attracted numerous contributions from others. [2] Encouraged by the response, unfried-mouth-wheat expanded his ideas into longer fic.
Fan Responses and Reviews
I shouldn’t laugh at Seward having the infamous doctor Frankenstein in his care, or that he wants to maintain Frankenstein’s paranoid mood thinking he’ll get more interesting data that wayedit: and its no longer funny. Frankenstein is much more determined to escape than Renfield because he fears his creature will come for him, to the point of disturbing self harm and injury
spoilers
edit: Funny again. Frankenstein has gotten a job as medic on the Demeter. Oh whavirovac, 2022 [3]
