Since vampires are FICTIONAL characters, a writer does have certain liberties with the parameters they set for these characters. That said, I'm NOT a member of the "School for Fluffy Vampires." No matter what else they may be, they're still vampires. They are not cuddly bunnies. Not everyone will agree with the list I've created, and that's OK. There's plenty of room for all of us in the writing world. With this in mind, these are the parameters I've chosen to set for MY characters. Enjoy!
