π Vampires don't Sparkle!

That's right I said it Vampires DO NOT SPARKLE!

There I said it. Regardless of the latest fad or tween/ teen/ cougar series of novels, movies and associated mass marketing glut that has been force fed to an estrogen drenched gaggle of willing lemmings. Up till "Toilet", as my eldest 10 year old daughter likes to call it, vampires did not sparkle in the sunlight. NO they turned to ash, burnt up, rotted or where merely weakened or in some cases shown to be "what they truly are". However being "shown for what they truly are" has never to my knowledge, believe me I have looked, meant that they have sparkled  like some sort of gadfly at a gay pride parade!

 One who stumbling upon this lonely little insignificant blog in the back of the internet may wonder what my deal is and why now so late in the game I am bitching about sparkly poofter emo vampires. They would have a point to wonder. I mean really what do I care? Well other than long held traditionalist view points regarding blood suckers that is.No not women, leeches and lawyers! Vampires, Duh. Well the reason is simple I have previously stated I am going to start working toward writing a book of my own and one of the races in this little fantasy will be, if you haven't guessed by now you must be dense enough to believe in sparkly little cry babies, vampires. Granted my own not exactly traditional take on vampires but more realistic vampires none the less!

Sneak Peek: My lovely little blood suckers will have a rich history going back to the crucifixion. Their origin will be intimately tied to that singular event in fact. Further there will be 12 houses main houses or bloodlines and each bloodline house will spawn a number of smaller courts through out the world. Each of these Houses will be tied to one of the traditional western zodiac signs and derive a particular grouping of stereotypes that govern them and individual abilities. These 12 Houses will further be broken down into the old French ideal of the Three Estates for purposes of internal hierarchy. This hierarchy will also follow a 12 year cycle as dictated by the eastern zodiac.They will not sparkle! Some will burn up in the light of the sun. Some will rot and decay and others shall remain remarkably unaffected.

Vampires shall not be the only creature race I intend to bring to the table but more on that in a later post.
