VERY weird concept... but viable?

For submitting and talking about story ideas. Idea submissions must be at least five paragraphs long, and include plot points, summaries of which characters are involved, and, for fanfiction, how it differs from canon. Both original and fanfiction ideas welcome. Though original works should have more development. Replying posts must give actual commentary, no "GREAT IDEA" or "THIS SUCKS".

You know, I can't say what surprises me more; that no one has told me this idea is insane, or that everyone who's been here knows who Count Duckula is.

...No, wait, it's everyone knowing Duckula. Speaking of which, I don't know torrents, but I think you can find at least some of the episodes on Youtube. I saw at least two (episodes 2 & 17) in the 'related videos' sidebar for the opening theme (which is linked from the Western Animation TV segment of Nightmare Fuel at TV Tropes).
Water, water, everywhere, and all was cursed and black!
Drowned ones cast bad spell and out come pig, girl, duck, panda!
Swirl, swirl, slithery pond, and join with magic spring!
Swirl, swirl, dirty pond, and rid the cursed sting!
Here my prayer, I beg you please!
Now turn these curses BACK!

I found a torrent, but it is from a Swedish VHS. That's almost as bad as YouTube. Not very fond of the video quality on YouTube, though they do have some great things like a complete series of educational videos on making flint tools.

Well, I wish you luck in your search.

Now, to get back on topic... I apparently have a workable base for a story. Now what do I need to do before it's ready to be written?

I find the basic concept interesting, and of course, Count Duckula was truly an awesomely silly show.

I do agree that it would be an interesting plot device for a fic, but you would need a good story to use it in first. To be honest I'm not that interested the one you mentioned, but I'm not that interested in most Sci-fi based Ranma stories.

I did manage to get the first Count Duckula DVD from EzyDVD some time ago, so a few episodes at least made it to DVD production at one point.
