Okay...
As some of you know, that darn vampire kit has lodged into my mind and will not let go. The big problem with this thing, is that I am not a vampire fan, and so know very little about the creatures.
I like them well enough...I am absolutely in love with Bill (TRUE BLOOD) for instance, but I never watched Angel (I might though--but then again, maybe I won't so I won't be influenced by him lol), I wallbanged Twilight (is Edward REALLY a vampire? I wonder), I've not read anything but Interview with a Vampire and not sure that counts...okay so I did read Dracula years ago, but I assume times have changed, and, well, vampirism is something I've never really sunk my teeth into.
It will NOT be a romance, TYVM. My POV is not going to fall into the arms of her dark love...uh...no thanks.
So...
What do YOU guys like in your vampires? And dislike, too--like sparkles. Sparkly vampires do not do a thing for me.

I admit, my little steampunker friends make me consider a steampunkish world..
Secondary world fantasy. What do you mean? :)
So, can vampires have Starbucks then? TRUE BLOOD's vamps survive on blood--or True Blood, of course. What do you like to see?

So why is he sparkly? I haven't read the books, I just know they don't go out in sunlight because they sparkle. (Why don't they use, I don't know, makeup?)

I do not know why he sparkles, because I wallbanged the book. I just think cuz it makes him pretty or something. LOL.
