I'm a bit of a vamp-fic fan... yet for many years now I've been very choosy about what I read in this sub-genre. Most of what I see in my local bookstores is trite, clichéd, and boring.

Would I write a vampire or werewolf tale? Sure... if I had something interesting to say. I believe that vamp- and were-fic works best when it's used as a metaphor to explore deeper truths in the human condition. Such was the case with Interview with the Vampire, for example.
