Vampire's what's YOUR prefference? :)?

Question

I am extremely bored, and realized it had been awhile before someone posted a 'vampire' question. I imminently panicked and wrote this. Haha.

I posted a similar question not to long ago...
But i posted it in 'myth and folk' and got
a whole bunch of negitive comments...
One being 'vampires are out of fashion'
I don't follow fashion :P

I came up with a great vampire story.
It's unique and i enjoy writing it.
Everyone keeps telling me that
'there's TOO many vampire stories..'
But i refuse to give up- i had my idea
BEFORE Twilight... And even though my
main character (who is based on what i look
like) - looks similar to 'Bella' that isn't my fault...

Sorry about the babling...
My question is just to see what the majority of
the audience- thinks vampires should be like.?
Eg: Mean, nice, sparkle?

Pretty much i want to know what you would want/expect
vampires to be like. I want to know if people will respond
well to my vampires. :)

(They are the 'old fashioned vampires)
(Similar to drac- i guess?)

P.s i also have werewolfs.
And my vampires DONT sparkle . Haha :P

Answer 1

Mean and nice. Kinda of like people with anger management issues at time :P



Plus, I like the ones that are charming, and don't look like a disco ball in the sun.



Yup, the older ones are my kinda thing :)

Answer 2

Vampires are real. besides the undeniable fact that usually each little thing in Twilight is pretend! while vampires bypass into image voltaic they don't twinkle. there have been countless situations have been they'll deplete, because of the fact they are so comfortable to warmth. There are distinctive gem stones that would guard them from the unfavourable solar. Vampires don't have large velocity. Vampires do feed on blood, yet they might additionally consume standard nutrition, yet they should have a in many situations happening dosage of blood. Vampires can feed off of animal blood besides the undeniable fact that it would not lead them to as sturdy as though they have been to drink human blood. Compulsion, now and returned would nicely be real, yet maximum vampires at the instant can't do it.

Answer 3

have you read vampire academy or the house of night series? They are my favorite vampire series, and i really liked it how in both books the vampires had magic powers of some sort...that's how i like my vampires haha



and yeah i do think there is alot of vampire series out right now, but if you want to write about vampires then you should..just because there is alot of vamp stories already does not mean they shouldn't be written about ever again...because stephanie meyers did not invent vampires, so the idea is any ones for the taking.



edit: and i did like in twilight though, how the vampires were nice (the cullen family at least) because before i read twilight i always thought of vampires as scary and mean haha

Answer 4

Vampires are no way out of style I am reading about 4 different series with vampires all of which are different, some our bad some are good and everyonce in a while I come across a different author that still seems to make a different vision of what vampires are, So dont give up on your idea, use your imagination of what you think they should be and dont listen to negative feedback. I've read books that have made the New York Times bestselling list.....J.R. Ward is one of them.



Good luck!!

Answer 5

vampires are like humans in the fact that each is unique in their own way. old fashioned vampires are often the favorite of readers as long as the author does not go overboard on their powers, no one wants a supreme being who cannot be killed. like humans vampires must be flawed in some way. separate personalities are a must. mindless vampires are as useless as zombies if not more so. some vamps are good and others evil, grouping them into one category usually annoys readers.

some authors like to mix eras of vamps as well. Laural k hamilton for example uses both ancient and old-fashioned vamps. ancient vamps are rotting corpses while old-fashioned tend to be highly attractive. she even found a way to intermingle vamp history with her story line which is always impressive.

werewolves on the other hand are always werewolves. there is no way to alter them without changing the species. they are always controlled by the moon and if not they are shape shifters instead. whether they control their wolf form is up to the author. historically they can't but many authors choose otherwise.

p.s. thank you very much for not making the vamps sparkle. to do so would be an insult to their legend.

Answer 6

I think vampires should be portrayed more like they were back in the 50s. you know like youre halloween dracula. However, if you want to modernize vampires i much prefer the true blood vampires over the twilight vampires. They just seem more realistic to me. Like how vampires would be if they were truely around. Twilight vampires dont have fangs, and they sparkle they dont burn in the sun. Thats not a vampire, thats a fairy.



ohhh or you could do like the moonlight vampires. just an opinion.

Answer 7

Okaii so if u knew me youd kno im all about the vamps!!! and soo id have to say well a mix of all my favs like some power with elements from house of night and vampire academy. and well fangs from buffy n true blood. and the super strentgh from twilight and the mental things, powers whichever...and also like buffy and true blood let them be stakeable but let them be able to come out in like the first hours after dawn??? maybe i hope this helps!!! im a freakin vamp fanatic!!!

Answer 8

I think vampires should be like what the writer wishes them to be like.



=)



Hey, I'm writing a vampire story too. And I'm not giving up.

Answer 9

Anne Rice pretty much nailed what I think a vampire should be, and IMO has probably done them better in terms of realism than any other author before her (or since)

Answer 10

I completely agree with you, Stephanie didn't create Vampires and she doesn't own them.



I think it's up to us to get Vampires back to their true nature. They need to be cruel, evil and nasty. They shouldn't fall in love with humans, Vampires should use them for sex and blood, that's all. I really liked how Charlaine Harris made Vampires in the Sookie Stackhouse Novels, but even they might have become to mushy. (:

Answer 11

haha (:



i like sparkling vampires. ahha.



I pictured them way different. But Stephenie Meyer Made it her own.



So i love the vampires from the twilight Saga.



( Darn it, everytime someone says vampire now, i picture Robert Pattinson, ) lol



(:

Answer 12

Vampires are very cunning and manipulative and selfish. They are taller than average, thin(but very powerful), and look like they've been awake for hundreds of years. Their eyes are very hypnotic.

Answer 13

I think they would probably be mean. I'd like them to be nice tho...I think, cause, their not gonna let their food escape. I know I wouldnt let someone take my food either , lolz XD

Answer 14

so bad and mean, yet they can be sexy and wow at times. almost making you feel guilty that you like them. lol and no stalking and sparkling ugh haha

Answer 15

NICE AND MEAN



I LIKE MYSRTERIOUS VAMP THAT CAN BE MEAN OR NICE WHEN HE/SHE NEADS TO

Answer 16

THEY SHOULD HAVE GREAT SKILL AND BEAUTY.
