The Vampire Wars
Soooooo, my blog is short and sweet today. It was prompted by a picture I wish I could put up again, but have absolutely no clue how to add to this blog. All things tech confound me.
Anyway, on my Facebook page (maybe three weeks or so ago), I posted a pic of ze vampires Lestat and Louie from Interview With A Vampire. It had an effin’ funny caption. We laughed. We commented. We shared. We snarked.
Good times… Well, mostly.
There were a couple of people who got pretty passionate about their love of a particular vampire clan and a little angry with those of us who thought the pic was funny. There was much discussion. Much. Wow, was there discussion :)
Alas, that’s not what this blog is about. What struck me about that pic was the complete loyalty to a fictional group of people. It was steadfast, folks. And even if I don’t necessarily understand it, I certainly respect it. It’s what made the writer of said vampire clan richer than rich. It also renewed interest in vampires and opened a lot of doors for those of us that write them. That’s all good as far as I’m concerned.
Anyhoodles, the above situation was what made me ponder this question for today’s blog, that and my crazy Vampire Diaries marathon as of late. All that teenage angst makes me feel almost drama-free and far more superior than I should. :)
So tell me, who’s your favorite fictional vampire?

I have no particular fave--tho, that guy from the now defunct Moonlight was HAWT!

I'm a fictional slut and I'm OK with that. Exclusively vampires?
Let's see, Louis more than Lestat as a teen. Lestat got a bit weird so I moved on.
Never really felt it for Jean Claude or Edward Cullen. If tv shows count, Spike and Angel are yummy!
There have been countless others but my most memorable vamps are Eric Northman, Vampire Hunter D, Bones and Vlad, Ryu, and currently I'm obsessed with a few from the book "The Greyfriar".
My favorite vampire? Oh boy. If we're talking books, it would have to be Dante Prejean from Adrian Phoenix's Maker series. Of course, he's more than a vampire.
If we're talking tv, I'd have to say Drucilla from Buffy (and Angel). She was creepy evil good.
I can't pick just one for movies. I'm fickle based on my mood. Today, I'd probably say Eben from 30 Days of Night (I loved the vampires in that movie *shivers*). He wasn't a vampire for long, but he made it count.
