Вампиры are in these days. It's debatable whether they ever really went out-I mean, who hasn't at least gone through a phase where they were entranced by vampires? Вампиры are sexy, strong, and forbidden-what could be еще fascinating than that? And there are so many Вампиры worlds to choose from now: Twilight, House of Night, Vampire Academy, Vampire Diaries, Vladimir Tod, True Blood, Blue Blood, the фургон, ван Alen Legacy, Blood Ninja, Blood Coven, and even Buffy and The Остаться в живых Boys, who never get old.

It's no wonder so many people want to play in those worlds by Письмо fanfiction. Here are a few tips for Письмо vampire fanfiction.

Вампиры aren't just people with odd eating habits. Being a vampire changes something in the formerly human nature of these beings. Ты can certainly have Вампиры with positive human characteristics, such as the compassionate Carlisle или the loyal Stevie Ray, but those characteristics are tempered and tested by their essentially blood-craving nature. No matter what your fandom, there's something different about vampires.

Know your fandom. Do Ты know the difference between a drudge, a friend, and a mate? A coven, a tribe and a family? A legal vampire and an illegal one? Don't assume that all vampire worlds follow Bram Stoker's mythology, because they don't. Some Вампиры sparkle, some are allergic to garlic, some have mystical powers, some are masters of seduction, some drink synthetic blood, some are tattooed, some fall in Любовь with humans and some regard humans only as dinner, some can turn into animals, some can enslave Ты and some can be enslaved. If you're Письмо fanfiction, the whole idea is to write within that world, so Ты have to follow the rules of the world.

Know the difference between AU and AU-Human. This is, of course, where Ты get to break the rules, but even in AU, Ты have to do it right. Alternative Universe is where Ты take the basic canon and Ты change something from canon. What if Bella hooked up with Jacob (or Jasper или Emmett или Alice) instead of Edward? What if Vlad and Henry discovered an attraction to each other? What if Zoey remained human but still fell in Любовь with Erik? In these stories, Ты change an element of what the Автор has дана you. AU-Human is a little different; in these stories, the Вампиры aren't vampires. So, Zoey really is a human, Taro falls in with ninjas who are just ninjas, and Edward is a brooding, dark young man, but doesn't want to drink Bella's blood. Both of these can make fabulous stories...but stick as close to the canonical world as Ты can, so that the change is even еще powerful.

All the rules of good Письмо apply. Just because it's fanfiction, doesn't mean Ты don't have to make it the best story Ты can. Keep your Вампиры hot and dangerous, your worlds true to canon, your dialogue sharp and witty, and your plots realistic (within the fantastical world of the story). Get a good beta to double check your chapters so that Ты don't have spelling или grammar errors. Always respect both your original Автор and your readers...and the Вампиры Ты all get to share.

There's so much variety in the fictional worlds of vampires, but they all seem to draw us in and make us want to explore them more. The Далее time Ты want to spend еще time with a vamp, follow these tips and write for yourself the story Ты always wanted to read.
