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.

It is rolling loosely in my head, the approach I want to take...so far, I am not seeing evidence of anything similar. He will not have his own POV either, as it will be written in first person in my female, non-romantic interest, POV.
