Take the quiz: who's your ideal vampire?

[Tracey]

Guys - I started a new website partly to promote my book but also for general vampire fun, and I included a quiz on who's your ideal vampire. I'd love it if I could get some answers (either take the quiz and post your answer - and whether you agree with it!) or just tell me in your post... I'll be doing a blog probably after Halloween to collate the answers. THANKS in advance! (Also, if there's something you think I could add to make the site more fun/relevant, do let me know, it's a work in progress...)

I chose mostly Bs - the sexy vampire!

[Stephanie]

I picked mostly C's (but not the KFC one!lol!). Your quiz is really cool!

[Francis]

Is this a quiz for heterosexual women and post-millennium vampire males only?

If not, you could add Lilith Silver to B, perhaps, and Monami somewhere between A & B.

[Tracey]

Francis - the quiz is heterosexually slanted but not exclusively so, but I'm afraid I'm not familiar with either of those vampires, can you let me know where they come from so I ca check them out? Dark Dates is inclusive (two of the main characters in the book are gay women!) so I have clearly mixed a trick... I do think though female vamps tend to fall into less easily divided stereotypes once you take out the overt 'bride of Dracula' types. I clearly need to do more research so thanks so much for the prompt.

Megan and Stephanie, thanks!

It wasn't the gay/straight thing I was querying. I imagine there's plenty of gay fan fiction featuring Spike & co. :-)

But it seems a shame not to include (or at least acknowledge) some female vampires, and they're not all Bride of Dracula - and anyway Carmilla and Countess Elizabeth Bathory would be more interesting classical vampires.

The Hunger: Miriam Blaylock (Catherine DeNeuve) [Whitley Strieber]
Sunglasses After Dark: Sonja Blue [Nancy Collins]
Innocent Blood: Marie (Anne Parillaud)
Razor Blade Smile: Lilith Silver (Eileen Daly)
Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl: Monami (Yukie Kawamura)

For YouTube clips of the last two, see this blog post:

I guess the problem is that female vampires tend to be written as type B.

[Aparna]

Wow.. Mostly B's..and DAMON is so perfect.. loved your quiz!!!!

[Tracey]

Francis, thanks, that's really helpful! Aparna, thanks.

Amazing website, will have to check out the book at some point. I think I'm going for B, a little bit of being enigmatic can be fun, but the full on moody and tortured thing is definitely a turn off for me!

[Tracey]

Haha me too!

I GOT EDWARD!!!!!!

[Donna]

CCABB I think I failed the quiz. lol

[Donna]

(My fav. TV vamp is Henry from Blood Ties).

[Michelle]

Mostly B's -- absolutely Damon!

[[deleted user]]

Damon suck!!

[Tracey]

I always feel I should've liked Henry more than I did, Donna... He was just slightly too young looking for me!
