The Vampires of Venezuela (Rosanna Calvierri, Doctor Who, PG)

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

In addition to the Macbeth story, I was also working on this one. Regrettably, I didn't get it done in time for FemGen 2010. But since we've now got open season on the prompts (which means you can use any prompt you like to write a genfic focusing on a female character--just please post a link at the FemGen comm), I thought that it would be a good time to post this story.

Title: The Vampires of Venezuela
Author: gehayi
Fandom: Doctor Who
Character: Rosanna Calvierri, Eleven, Five; mention of Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Tegan Jovanka and Vislor Turlough
Word Count: 8879

Disclaimer: Doctor Who and all related elements, characters and indicia are owned by the BBC and BBC America, 1963 - present. No profit is being made from this, and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.
Prompt: I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things always have been done....I defy the tyranny of precedent. I cannot afford the luxury of a closed mind. I go for anything new that might improve the past. - Clara Barton (1821-1912), American nurse, teacher, federal worker, activist for women's suffrage, black civil rights and abolition of slavery, and founder and organizer of the Red Cross.
Summary: The vampires of Venice did not die. Rosanna Calvierri was too determined to allow the race of Saturnynians--now reduced to herself and her children--to perish simply because of the Doctor. Written for femgenficathon.
Author's Notes: (if any) This is dedicated to ariastar, who was dissatisfied with the fate of the vampires of Venice as well.

Signora Rosanna Calvierri--to use the human name she had adopted when the city was still safe for her and her fellow Saturnynians--did not die when she flung herself into the waters of Venice.
