8''Almost Night'' by Jacob Wallace is a ScienceFantasy parody of ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', and to lesser extent, ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and other high school fictional stories. It features Stella Mallard, a dull and uninteresting girl with no friends that lives on the imperial colony Gamma 3. Her mother is making her move to Tau with her father, since minors are not allowed at brothels.
9
10Upon arriving at Tau, she quickly get reunited with her old childhood friend turned into BadBoy werewolf, [[SdrawkcabName Bocaj]], who has little interest [[ShesAllGrownUp in friendship anymore]]. However, he will have to compete with the pretty boy Ed Skullin from school. That will become the least of her problems, though it will remain her highest priority, when vampires start becoming crystal skinned abominations and Stella finds herself in the middle of an apocalypse.

12By the same creator as ''Webcomic/MyRoommateIsAnElf'' and takes place in the same universe. Hence why people from Gamma wear WhiteGloves.

41* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Normally they die from exposure to direct sunlight and from being staked in the heart. They can turn their canine teeth into fangs and their ears are pointed like an elf unless they keep their glamour on. After performing the spell to turn them into abomination vampires, they become immune to the sun and instead have the appearance of diamond flesh. They’re also immune to stakes as their skin is too hard for wood to pierce, but they die from gunshots to the head and any form of fire causes them to burst into flame.
