A meme and Vampires!
I am procrastinating! Sometimes I don't do great with deadlines. ANYWAY! A meme I think I could actually manage:
Give me a prompt and a pairing/character and I will give you one to five lines of the fic it's from.
It's kind of like writing, but not!
We have several inches of snow on the ground right now. The only reason I'm not completely belligerent about this is that I don't have anywhere to be right now. Still. Blech.
All the Buffy hoopla got me thinking about vampires (confessions: I'm interested to see what they do with it and I don't think Joss is God). The thing is, they're always relevant, right? What I want to know, internets, is: What is your vampire origin story? As in, what got you interested in vampires in the first place?
This is, of course, predicated on the assumption that everyone has a point in their lives where they were into vampires. If you never have been, IDK what to tell you.
I was thinking that my starting point was the Vampire Chronicles, BUT IT WASN'T! Upon further reflection, I realized what got me completely hooked was Christopher Pike's vampire series (The Last Vampire, Black Blood, Red Dice). I read The Last Vampire when I was fourteen and it was amaaaaaaaaaaaazing. I actually would love to read the whole series again (I think I only read the first three) to see if it holds up to how I remember it. IIRC, the world-building was incredible, the vampire heroine was awesome and it had one of the most interesting vampire origin explanations I've read. (OF COURSE the stupid library doesn't have it. *grumps*)
So! *chinhands* Tell me, what was your first vampire love?
