Okay. So Veganism is epic, in itself, but what would make it even more epic? A vegan vampire. One of the leading ladies in my book I am writing, is a vegan from the UK who developed a spirulina based shake that has cultured white blood cells and crushed vitamin b12.

Character bios (and slight sampling from quotes) can be found here.

Sure this is

awww, i like that. :) i'm a writer too and i plan on featuring vegan characters in a way that normalizes the lifestyle. and i love vampire stories so your idea is deliciously clever. best of luck!

[leastconcern]

I'm still arguing with myself if GMO whiteblood cells (which they basically are, since as a geek she has preserved vials of her original blood prior to vampirism and grows the white blood cells from those batches) are vegan.

[pandoraparabola]

although many vegans choose to eat organic for ethical and health reasons, i don't think it would be unvegan of your vamp to dine on GMO white blood cells. the bit about her using her own prevamp blood is interesting!

also, i like your icon. i haven't had s'mores since going vegan. i ordered a kit by angel food to make my own marshmallows but it flopped because i don't have a stand mixer, so i need to order some sweet&sara, i think. //hijack.

hmmm, what about that vegetarian meat grown in petri dishes then? It's still BLEH meat, and I wouldn't eat it personally, but does it make it vegan?

[leastconcern]

Well, I assume that if it's her OWN bloodcells being exploited, then it'd be vegan.

Petri meat is still meat. NOT VEGAN.

[trar]

but isn't the point of being a vampire? that her blood is somehow lacking something necessary that can only be found in TEH TASTY HUMANSES?

[leastconcern]

It's white blood cells! In my vampires that is. So by recreating her wbloodcells from her previously drawn blood PRIOR to her vampireness existance, THUS LEADING TO VEGAN LIFESTYLE MAINTAINMENT!

P.s: Gollum for the win.

mmm, the taste of cannibalism in the morning.

Our love for eachother is tighter than the Jonas Brothers pants.

I think I spat out something important like my spleen when Alec Baldwin impersonated the '4th' Joanas Brother on SNL by merely flinging a girly punk print scarf around his neck and jamming on a purity ring.

OMG, I HAVE THIS YEAR'S HALLOWEEN COSTUME!!! I'm going to be a Jonas brother.

Our love is so incestually homoerotic and tight-panted. *hugs*

[leastconcern]

TOTALLY.

I will go as the ugly Jonas Brother that needs his eyebrows done.

[hallwayjulie]

They all share the same eyebrow.

LOL

Once it's on the petri dish is it still hers? Does it become a being in its own right?

This has actually been a legal case where a woman in the 50s died and they harvested cells from her body and those cells were amazing and kept growing. Decades later hundreds of labs have her cells in petri dishes. And the family sued and lost.

So legally, its not hers. Note distinguishing the case because the person concerned is undead rather than dead may not cut it.
