Just out of curiosity, what is "non-fairy vampirism" supposed to be? Vampire fairies are kind of a hilarious idea though, fluttering around nipping people on the arms.

There are badass vampires that drink fish blood, kick ass with katanas, have cat eyes and their passage through any area is best described as "collateral damage path". Vampires which solve hurt feelings with help of miniguns and homemade tanks.

No, you're thinking of SCP-wannabe vampires. Real Vampires are corpses motivated only by truly inhuman forces. A true Vampire cannot be good, nor even evil, for it has no capacity to make moral decisions. It's only goal is domination of humans, and it's supernatural powers are merely compliments to it's most subtle and pererse ability- an incredible charisma and intelectual power that allows it to manipulate those around it with ease.

according to whom?

back when vampire were on tales and not on tv or even on book, they were sulking creatures. then it came the charming ones and they stood that way for a while, being ported on the tv also and becoming the true ones. then came the withewolf interpretation. in between dozens of films and tv series and books, ranging from splatter to teenage drama.

Real Vampire

You can basically stop right there. You're taking a broad folk concept with about a bazillion different iterations through several centuries, and pretending that only one of them can be correct even though it's a freaking fantasy creature.

Put your pants back on. You're supposed to say something to the effect of "No, a REALLY Real Vampire is actually just like this neat fanfiction I wrote...". I know that Vampires have had a long history terrifying people before Alucard ever wrote his name backwards.

Yeah, I second monster sponsor.

It occurs to me that vampirism usually only affects humans, DF is in a good position to challenge this trope.

Yes, and yes! Toady One, what do you say to a monster sponsorship deal? Mayhap I should turn to Rainseeker instead, on the other hand?

I think I was working on a mod about something like that a while ago, but I sorta gave up.
