The idea for the Vampire Preservation Project was created during a viewing of the third painful movie installment of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga, Eclipse.
The mission: To remind the world of all the things that make vampires AWESOME, and attempt to crack the new stereotype that the perfect vampire is a sparkly stalker who walks and talks like he's a bad, cheap imitation of Mr. Darcy.
The method: Introduce the world to some REAL vampires, from the works of Anne Rice to True Blood to the classic original, Dracula.
We'll give our opinions on all of it-- the good, the bad, and the fangtastic, in the hopes that the world will come to see the full bad-assness of vampires, and understand that there is more to the genre than Edward Cullen (Fangirls, beware). Nothing shall be spared, and blood will be spilled, so grab your Holy Water and hold onto your wooden stakes for dear life.
You may ask yourselves, "Who are these brave souls who dare oppose the legions of Team Edward Fangirls?"
Allow us to introduce ourselves.
We are Kate and Monica, two college students, long time vampire lovers, and aspiring vampire writers. Together, we've read it all and seen it all (or at least, most of it), and want to pass on some of our vampire wisdom to the world!
If you believe, like we do, that vampires should not sparkle, if you believe, like we do, that vampires deserve their moniker as deadly, mysterious creatures of the night, then join us as we seek to take back the dignity of the VAMPIRE.
It's sure to be a bloody ride...
