Perez Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:44:35 +0000 http://www.loveromancepassion.com/?p=6423#comment-6073 I got here via the #vampire Twitter hashtag. It called my attention immediately because I have been struggling with the same question, based around a different medium. I'm working on a rebild of the roleplaying game Vampire: The Masquerade (more of a new game that laser-focuses on the issues of the game, rather than rebuilding the other, for which I am very fond). In doing so, the first thing I needed to address was the concept of Humanity (THE central issue and game mechanic of the game) so I could build from there. http://www.dmperez.com/2010/02/09/rebuilding-vampire-humanity/ http://www.dmperez.com/2010/02/11/rebuilding-vampire-a-need-for-hoperedemption/ It's interesting to see others grappling with the same idea. And I agree, it is this conflict that makes modern vampire stories (where you have them as protagonists, rather than metaphorical antagonists) a treat to write, or play in, in my case.

Granted I never got as far as Eric, so I have to blame Bill for my lack of enthusiasm. Now Anita Blake series --> Jean-Claude and Asher are my fictional boytoys... er... yeah lol :D After them there's Angel (Buffy S1-3 gack... drool), and Edward Cullen. I'm definitely pro vampire. (Boo hiss on Richard Zeeman and Jacob Black) I couldn’t get into Sookie Stackhouse — books or television series. Granted I never got as far as Eric, so I have to blame Bill for my lack of enthusiasm.

Did you happen to notice the male cover model's hands? Now that's manly! Glad Mark's all cleaned up. Goodness, I wish! Sadly, no I will not be at the RomantiCon.

You can ask Ryan himself. :) Ah...the great shifter/vampire debate. When I was running my Teal Ceagh site independently, that was a constant theme. I am not a wolf fan at all. And Mark is looking a lot less bloody these days, thank you. :) Tracy Will you be at RomantiCon in October, Susan? You can ask Ryan himself. :)

(ROFL) By the way, if we could be turned; I'd be the first in line! Yes, Keira, I'd find a way to beat you there. Luckily, I don't have to fight my sister; she'd rather be a shapeshifter. Who doesn't love a vampire novel? I'm sure Eva's Last Dance is going to sell like hotcakes! Hope the hubby's better. Hi Teal, looks good. :)
