Question:

All vampire romance lovers!?

I am currently writing a vampire romance novel. What things do you all look for in a vampire romance? (p.s. I've never written folklore.)


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The first thing you should do is read Bram Stoker's Dracula and make careful notes as to what a vampire's limitations are. Too many authors these days are making up their own vampire rules, and I hate that. For instance, Alice should never have been able to fly to Italy. Totally out of the realm of what Stoker set up as the limitations for a vampire.

I like a good vampire story that focus on the psychological aspects of the vampire - what it feels like to be one and how it affects them.

Just make sure you read Stoker first and stay true to what a vampire is and how he got to be one. If you are going to write the story, or any story, become an expert on your topic before you begin to write. Pax - C
