I need vampire stereotypes

Go look at the Twilight fandom, that should help.

Never go there. Ever. Ever.

No no it's fine. The whole story is about vampire stereotypes and breaking them. It's making fun of the stereotypes

I'm not very into the supernatural genres but I'm pretty sure Twilight and Tmblr will help with that.

I could paste the first chapter

Sure!

“I am so bored with this Kris. I am so done with all of these rules. I am just done in general! I am almost 210 years old and I am bored with all these rules that I have to stand by and obey. I am not some obedient pup that they can boss around all the time. I know we have the rules to keep us safe but… I don’t know.” I complained laying on the couch of my apartment looking over to Kris who was in a chair next to me, the whole scene could look like one of those therapy sessions on TV shows.

“It’s ok we all feel that way sometimes but-”

“I am just so done with all of these rules, are they even true.”

“How much vampire lore and fanfic have you read?”

“Way too much Kris, way too much.”

“Alright Edger. Meet me downtown in, I’d say an hour.”

“Why….” I asked not really planning on going anywhere today.

“We are going to a Italian restaurant and eating so much garlic bread.”

“Yay.” I said softly. “I haven’t been to one since I turned.” I admitted

“Yeah me too Ed. But who cares what they said in the orientation about not going and eating garlic.”

“sounds good.” I said with a slight smile and sat up on the couch.

“Good. And Ed I wanted to tell you one thing… No more reading any fanfiction on vampires.”

“Why, it is good.” I complained.

“Because most of that stuff is not true and also you are a real vampire so why do you need it.”

“I don’t know… but can I read twilight still.”

“I really don’t care, just meet me down town in an hour.”

“Fine, I will.” I sighed as I watched Kris walk out the door. Maybe I should start getting ready now. But I do have a whole hour and I guess I do have some time to kill, I think as I walk over to my computer sit down at my desk and start reading a bit more fanfiction.

About an hour passed, well actually and hour and five minutes and maybe me dead by Kris’s hand. But everything was fine. I got up quickly and discarded the memory of the fanfiction I had been reading for the past hour. Once I was dressed up fancy enough for this ‘Italian’ restaurant I left. Though was it a real Italian restaurant? Don’t know. I arrived at the restaurant about 2 or 6 minutes late. Though there was Kris, reading the menu at a distant table.

“You’re Late, Edger”

I watched as Kris spoke without looking, he was getting good at that. I sat down across from him and picked up my own menu. Soon enough a waitress gave us some garlic bread, it smelled amazing. She also took our drink orders, then left. “So who eats one first?”

“Nope, same time. If this is suicide I am taking you with me.”

We were both quiet when we spoke so no one around us could hear. Slowly I reached and picked up a stick of garlicky golden 'italian’ bread. We nodded to each other then both took a bite of the bread, and… nothing happened. It was honestly a let down, we both wanted something to happen.

The waitress came back soon enough and took our orders, we both ate Garlic seasoned stakes. For the joke of it. After dinner we paid left and went for a walk down the street.

“Hey Edger? Want to go to church?”

“Kris, I’m not religious and haven’t been to one in like 500 years. Why would we want to go to a church?”

“Holy water?”

“Oh alright.” I said and we walked to the church, we went in and up to the front. A priest was walking around near by, or at least I thought. I saw him as we entered. Kris and I approached the bowl of holy water and stood on either side of it.

“Me First”

I watched as Kris put some on his hands and splashed it in his face. Suddenly he started screaming for a second, as he looked at me the priest was also watching us and looked kind of scared.

“I was just kidding, it’s fine.”

I laughed and then did what he did with the water, but without the screams. But just the same as him I was disappointed. Slowly we walked out as a disappointed pair.

Some spelling and grammatical mistakes, but that's fine. Do you have this story plotted out, or an ending for it?

I have an idea of certain points. No idea how to get there though. Also this could be a story I wrote and never made a plot.

I like this! Make them check and see if they can sparkle.

That's a good idea

I have an idea of certain points. No idea how to get there though. Also this could be a story I wrote and never made a plot.

Plotless stories go nowhere, there has to be a main issue. Maybe they go up against the fanfiction writers or try to change the world's sight of vampires, make world peace or something? Get a goal for this story and work your characters past those points to deal with the main issue and make this story something worth while. :)

Basically all I have written down in the plot section of where I was writing (Which is basically Ideas and stuff) is this…
A some old vampires are sick of playing by the rules and decide to break them, by going to beaches in the middle of the day eating at Italian restaurants, wearing iron, drinking holy water, staking themselves . But they find out most of this stuff doesn't effect them that much and all of it was just fake myths. Soon Higher ups find out what they are doing and retaliate. They are finding out too much.

This has promise. What you need to do now is write and think of the strangest and most thought provoking ideas.
What if the higher-ups are keeping the myths alive because, without them, something worse might happen?
What if everyone is actually a "vampire" and only mutated ones get to drink blood, and they're keeping the fact that mutated humans are cannibalistic a secret?
What if only vampires will survive an apocalypse the higher up are planning and are making the myths to keep people from becoming vampires so all humans will die?

Always say, "What if…".
