So my attention was pointed in the direction of the Writer's Block question. Today it seems it's vampires vs werewolves. Okay, to be completely honest this is a no brainer for me, but since I actually feel like posting and not being a total flake here goes:

I love vampires. I've been obsessed with them since I was a teenager. I don't even remember how I actually became introduced to the idea..hmmmm...I may have even had a vampire dream before I knew what they were. I've never actually thought about why I am so interested in them before. I'm not even sure I could explain it. I have huge issues with darkness, especially total darkness, and yet I am drawn to vampires? Yeah, I'd probably give a psychologist so much to work with...anyway, other than reading, and watching, just about everything I can find which has vampires in it, and writing several vampire stories of my own I used to roleplay Vampire: The Masquerade. I miss table top gaming so much it's not even funny. So...yeah that's maybe less than I wanted to say, but we'll go with it.

As for werewolves to be honest only two times have I ever been remotely interested in were-creatures of any sort. The first was the book Blood and Chocolate, the other is the Anita Blake books. I think my favs are the were-rats maybe? So yes my slightly long winded answer that I'm not sure said all that much.

You do realize that I might just become addicted to this now. You are evil. *pouts* and I can't start watching it until I get home.

lol wow, everyone seems to love that prompt? I keep seeing it...

*laughs* I couldn't resist because this is me after all...I wonder what made them do it?

No idea. I'm guessing a lot of people like vampires and werewolves?

I have yet to have a vampire character. Perhaps I should consider this.

I still have quite a few of the White Wolf books..ummmm as far as rping I have one possible pup that might be in a game before the end of the year.

lol not very fond of werewolves huh?

Although I want to know what they mean by werewolves. Like, the traditional movie type? And vampires... Bram Stoker?

The wolves do appear to be losing over all. As for me personally, nope not really though I do like how White Wolf approaches them and you know I have read some decent werewolf stuff.

Ohhhhhh..I don't know? I actually didn't like Dracula all that much. I think this makes me weird?

Eh it depends. I mean, I hate the Hollywood versions of both so if that's the prompt than neither.

But if we are talking about other versions?

I...well mostly I've liked what I've come across vampire wise. There have been a few movies that I've been...meh and the like.

If I had to pick another version...hmmmmmmmm...I like Anne Rice's take a lot....but is that my favorite...I'm not sure.

Huh. Never read Anne Rice and I heard she's a nutter. Haven't read many werewolf books either really, though.

Well her early ones are good, at least I think so, but apparently her later ones in the series got...well it's like she ignored needing an editor or something?

lol maybe she did? I dunno. I just heard she went insane over her work and got to be a mean jerk. So I never read her stuff. XD

Yup...I can't argue with that. I really don't get it personally. I mean if I'm writing something and people love the characters enough to want to talk about them/play them isn't that a good thing?

You'd think unless they plagiarized it'd be ok, but whatever. That's why I was put off.

I don't really get into typical werewolves but if we are extending it to shapeshifters in general I'd go with them, I guess. Depends on type.

*nods* I really liked how they were handled in Blood and Chocolate..and Anita Blake has a pretty great take on them too.

lol I know nothing of either. Answer my meme and explain them! XD *shameless plug*
