I didn't have access to this forum before I wrote my vampire novel. I wish I had! Halfway through my yarn I discovered I had no idea what were the rules for a vampires' existence IN MY WORLD. I kinda had to make it up as I went and buy ever book on vampires I could find.
Having said that there is a lot of leeway to some of the rules. So I was wondering what are other people's rules to "vampire-dom".
Such as : Do vampires breathe? Do stakes, garlic and holy water work on them? Do your vampires come out in the day or are they restricted to night? How about the whole sleeping in a coffin thing? How do you MAKE a vampire? Do they eat or just drink? How often do they have to take a blood meal?
Sorry for the rushed manner of this post. I'm trying to write it before leaving for work!
