Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

~~Not Byron. It was Polidori.~~

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_William_Polidori

Edit: Polidori wrote his story based on an abandoned work by Byron.

It was Byron’s story for the competition. Polidori later based a novel on Byron’s story.

You're right. Byron wrote and abandoned a story on vampires and Polidori based his work on that.
