Description Because I couldn't find one....

Ok, so, this happened a couple of times to me. Mostly in real life. I'd be drawing and somebody character and somebody would come up to me and say something along the lines of:

"ZOMG, YOUS LIEKZ VAMPIRES! IZ THAY VAMPIRES?! DO YOUS LIEK TWILIGHT?"

....0_o "Ok, leave me alone....."

I do like vampires, I've read Twilight and It wasn't my thing because I had hoped it would have an interesting plot line, (because the whole secret vampire family thing sounded cool) but it didn't. Although I believe if Twilight was seriously about Pixies (girl moves to forks, finds out the family living next door are actually badass pixies (with pointy ears and everything! XD) and then the story proceeds with no love at first sight and an interesting, twist plot line possibly going on to some sort of romance near the end....but then, it wouldn't be twilight...)

Anyway, in my story Dreamscape, there are Demons, not vampires (because really, at the moment everybody is jumping on the vampire bandwagon and I believe demons are far more mysterious, under written and interesting...) For example, on of my characters, Saheriel, is a half demon. He has fangs, because it's one of the few physical distinguishing features my demons have when they're in their human form. They serve a purpose, which rather bluntly, is to rip flesh off bone while they take a persons soul. (Thankfully, Saheriel uses a technique which means he continuously takes tiny pieces of energy from everybody he meets. Meaning he doesn't have to starve himself until he goes mental and kills somebody. )

I can't be the only person who has characters with fangs who are sick of other people calling them vampires....

I agree, especially as vampires aren't the only fanged creatures. Like in Japanese culture they have cat-girls and they usually have a fang or two.

I do have vampires.....

I also have a feline character, a canine character and someone with bad front teeth.
There's a bloody difference! *agrees with the stamp*

(and yes, the vampire bandwagon is annoying like hell. I don't want my characters to be compared to Twilight all the time. Put my Duke and Duchess in the sun? They die. Bye-bye.)

Haha, I know what ya mean about the vampires, which is why my main characters are demons--though one of them is a vampire, and then there are the humans, too. And the demons do have fangs.

I actually prefer demons because the vampire stereotype is almost set into stone. More to play with.

Yes, demons need fangs too

I see what you mean. The term "demon" you can really take the way you want it, right? You're free to create your characters amongst your own rules!

While I got nothing against vampires (and werewolves), I must admit I'm tired of seeing them. Like you said, demons in fiction need love too. And let's not forget trolls, orcs, ogres, dragons and more. And why doesn't anyone make new races anymore?

London-Prophecy In reply to Gray-Rose [2010-02-15 12:38:44 +0000 UTC]

So true. I believe all it needs is somebody to come along and reinvent them with out completely changing them. A new take on them maybe. Like J.K Rowling with wizards. I also think the settings in stories with trolls, orcs, ogres, dragons, etc alienates the majority of people. They're always almost set in a sort of middle ages setting and (Even though I'm not) I think most people are put off by it. I think the success of most fantasy novels involve a more modern setting. Harry Potter, Being Human, True Blood, House of Night series, they all have modern settings and I believe this makes people warm to the story more.

It is a shame nobody invents new races anymore. it seems everybody has run out of idea to make a truly great creature.

The only reason I found out how cool demons are is I was looking threw myths and legends for a english language essay and stumbled upon some cool ones.

You know, that's a great idea! Reinventing and modernizing races is a great way to show them in a new light. I have thought of reinventing witches, but they are not like Rowling's. For one thing, witches are an all female race. I might think of doing more too.
