Question: What are the top vampire story turnoffs on your opinion!?
I'm just 15 years old, but I've been planning this book about vampires since I was 12!.

I hate vampires because all the vampire stories I've read (even the really good ones) have the biggest turnoffs!. That's why I've decided to make one of my own, like a great writer suggested!.

So I'm sorry for the unnecessary details I've typed down, but please keep these in mind while answering my question!.!.!.
1) State the name of the vampire book
2) The turnoff
3) WhyWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1) The Vampire Chronicles, Twilight, Vampire Kisses, et al

2) The noble/good/redeemed vampire!.

3) Vampires are monsters!. The bad guys!. Humanoid parasites!. I don't get, and am extremely turned off by the idea of Vampires "fighting their urge" and playing the protagonist in any story!. It's always lame, and always predictable!. If the most horrific character in the novel/show/movie is the good guy then there is really only one option for conflict - internal struggle, and perhaps the "misunderstanding" of your human characters!. And they aren't really even vampires if their primary objective isn't to feed!. They're just weirdos with peculiar habits and fangs!.

Apparently I'm the oddball on that one, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've always had a facination with vampires!. I read the book "The Hunger" when I was in high school and really liked it!. I didn't find anything I didn't like about it!. It had seduction, which I expected from any book written about vampires, and that is what I look for in a book sometimes!. I have a thing for books about luring someone through power of suggestion!. Vampires have that power and it intrigues me!. You should really read the book or even watch the movie!. You may enjoy it!. It stars Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie!. Catherine Deneuve is one of the most beautiful women to have ever graced the earth!. And David Bowie is oddly sexy!. This rarely ever happens to me, but I actually enjoyed the movie more than the book!. The soundtrack was flawless and the opening sequence could quite possibly be the coolest thing I've ever seen on the silver screen!. The movie is called "The Hunger", just like the book!. Hope that this helped you with what you may want to focus on with your novel!. Good luck and hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Vampire stories are great!. I would say by biggest turn-off is stories that depict vampires as evil without showing different viewpoints (i!.e!. most horror movies where the hero needs to 'defeat' the vampires)!.

also, try to avoid writing about vampire detectives!. I don't know why this is so popular but I can think of four tv shows that used this concept (ie!. Angel, Blood Ties, Moonlight, Forever Knight)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Breaking Dawn (sequel to eclipse)
The Climax
Because the vampire used a syringe to inject the venom in the girl's heart instead of biting her and the main goal for the first three books was for the human girl to get BITTEN not get injected!.
