Vampire's... Are you sick of them or can you just not get enough?

they way some people write about them they can be but if the story is good i think not..( i really dont know what im sayin hhahahaha took my medicine haha0

yeah... That barely made any sense

I will read anything with a vampire character in it. Even if it's the WORST book in the world, I'll love every minute of it. I'm that much of a vampire fan. I think it's an obsession. :-)

I am the same way...

im not much a vampire fan buty imliking the sookie stackhouse books

THE Sookie Novels ARE GREAT!!! I am so gonna buy that hardback next time around

Awesome!!! yeah they are great i read it everynight till i fall asleep with the book in my fac but i really enjoying it!! cant wait to buy the next one in the seris

Love Vamps, totally love em. I'm reading the Stephanie Meyers series right now. Actually only the first one, but I have the 2nd & 3rd book wrapped safely under the tree for me. Yep, I bought em myself- with gather gift cards, no less.

Over the summer, I also read the first two books in the Vampire Diaries series, but the 3rd & 4th book are not in production anymore, and I'm not willing to spend a ton on them. When I got the first two, though, they had been reprinted into 1 book, so I think 3 & 4 will be as well. 1 & 2 were a brand new release at the time.

Another set I've read and liked is a series of romance novels by JR Ward. A bit of a different take on Vampires, in that they are not made, they are born. Humans can't be turned, but can mate with a vampire and produce a vampire/human offspring that may or may not turn into a vampire when they are older. There are 5 books out currently, with a 6th coming out next summer. If you like romance novels at all, you'd like these.

Then there's the series by Sherilyn Kenyon. They are also non-traditional vampires, but great books.

I've never read any of the classic or more recent "classic" vampire books- no Anne Rice, no Dracula, etc. I like my modern day vampires.

I think the best way to write a vampire novel would be to take an atypical approach- change it up a bit. There are the die hard vamp fans who will say you are writing it wrong. But what are they basing it on? Bram Stoker- a guy who wrote his novel over 100 years ago. He was the first to break into the genre, but that doesn't make him the authority on it. It's a mythical creature, it isn't something that should have set definitions or standards.

I have read some doozies that sucked. like romance authors who try to write vampire novels. They don't reach out nearly as much as vampire novels that add in romance.

I have not read any of the Sookie novels. I'll have to look for those after Christmas- are they a series, or just individual novels?

If you can find an interesting new angle, go for it. I'll read your book.

naw... best movie I ever saw was John Carpenters... if it's physical it's subject to laws of momentum and inertia.

I don't care how obsessed you are with vampires, I'll see your obsession and raise it by a power of ten cubed, at least. I'm so maniacal on the subject, I've started my own publishing company just because I don't think vampire stories are treated fairly by anyone else (that really is the shortest summary of my motivation). But I think telling a great story with great characters is the most important thing, and if the story happens to include vampires in the natural course of its telling, so much the better. Trinity, if you write your book, I'd be interested to hear more about it. Check out the Submission Guidelines on my company website ( http://bylightunseenmedia.com/submission.htm ) if you're curious to know what I'd be looking for. And yes, I'm *serious,* I offer a standard contract for royalties, no funny business and no "vanity press" here. I'm *very* selective--I've already turned someone down, and *ouch* that hurt :-( --but I DO want to hear from vampire authors! Bring it on! :-)

I'm with Vikki M. any story with a vampire is worth reading !!!!!!!!!!!!!

and totally with Heather and Inanna.... cant get enough.... start writing LOL

good luck really... writing can be difficult... you are young enough and seem to have a ton of energy.... by the way how did your testing go .. I never heard

one more comment before I go .....Vampires Rock !!!!!!!!!!

They're definitely NOT overdone. Yes they have become more popular, but each author can bring their own world and version to life. Plus some people write so well that it wouldn't matter how many vampire stories I've read.

Thanks all... Jenna Will DEF be checking that out and Inanna would love to share my book with you!!!

Nancy O... I failed BOO... Wrote and article about it

Vampires will never ever EVAH EVAH EVAH go away !!!

Glad to hear!! :)

Not into vamps, but does sounds interesting!

I'm reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova at the moment - about the search for Dracula's tomb. Very interesting book. Occasionally for a bit of light reading, I'll read one of Charlaine Harris 'Sookie Stackhouse' books. They're good vampire books.

I am tiny like a leprechaun, barely 5 feet tall.
I’ll spend the day on gather, trying to see it all.
There’s quite a few discussions and lots of pictures too.
I’m looking at the videos adding comments galore for you.

So here on the eve of St Paddy’s Day, with all the Irish Luck.
Here’s hoping you get enough points today to make at least a buck!
Happy Monday!
