~ What is a fanlisting?

A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join.
There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country.
Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans.
TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not official) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting the fans.

~ Who is Dracula?

Dracula is a fictional vampire from the Castlevania game series by Konami, and he is the main villain in most of the titles.

He first appears in the series as the main villain of Akumajo Dracula (for many platforms). He is also the final boss of almost all of the games, the only exceptions being the first and last games in the series' chronology (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (1094) Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (2035) and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (2036) respectively).
The Dracula of Castlevania is loosely based on Bram Stoker's character, which was in turn based on the infamous Vlad Tepes of Wallachia. The Castlevania Dracula draws some history from both, but instead of preying on maidens this one threatens whole realms with his armies at the least, and at worst is presented as the very embodiment of evil.

Dracula did not receive much characterization in the earlier games of the Castlevania series, but in later games he is depicted as arrogant, disdainful of humanity (whom he regards as petty and greedy), and somewhat abusive towards his own minions.
Although in some games he simply sits around in Castlevania waiting for the hero to show up and kill him (such as in the case of Sonia or Trevor Belmont), he also has a penchant for kidnapping the loved ones of the current Belmont hero (usually their bride, girlfriend, or mentor) with the intention of sacrificing them to gain power or vampirizing them to spite the hero. However, unlike his predecessor Walter Bernhard, he has never managed to accomplish this, with his victim always being rescued by the hero in the nick of time (the only exceptions being his brief possession of Christopher Belmont's son Soleiyu in Castlevania Adventure II, and an alternate ending of Castlevania X in which Richter Belmont's girlfriend Annette is transformed into a vampiress skull sorceress to fight him).

~ Why "Neverending darkness"? and Why him?

To tell you the truth I had no idea in how to name this fanlisting, so I have to say big thanks to Jessie Ariem who helped me to name this site ^_^
I wanted something that fit with him, with his dark side, and I think this was the perfect title. Grazie, Jessie-sama!!! <3
Why him? Because I love him. The villians are cool, I love him from Mathias to Soma, all his forms. He is one of my favourite fictional characters from all times, from Bram Stoker's one, to Castlevania one. We Castlevania fans love this villain. There's no CastleVania without him XD
