This is a story I wrote about vampires versus
werewolves in our stories, will this do for your storyline or do I need to do
something else? It was on a blog of my
friends a few weeks back.
Vampires
vs Werewolves
As
Romance Writers
By
Linda Hays-Gibbs
Vampires are something we think of as sexual creatures. Who doesn’t like their neck sucked on, just
a little bit. It seems that is much
more erotic and enticing than having to wade through all that hair that can be
on a dog, or a werewolf. Oh, I am not knocking a werewolf all that much just
wondering how you can get excited about someone that can eat you whole,
literally.
Vampires suck a little blood, maybe a
little too much sometimes but if you are a beautiful lady you have the chance
of becoming his all time favorite for all time. Of course, you could get a
little sick of him after the first three or four hundred years. I know I think a little variety is
essential, but if he were devastatingly handsome, maybe the attachment would
last longer.
You have the problem of him being cold
though, as opposed to a nice warm hairy wolf to keep your bed warm, but think
girls when you have to look at him.
Is
he changing to his hairy form or is he a handsome toothy sort? Even wolves have some toothy problems with
which to contend. There are few loves
that don’t have problems but my vote is for the tall toothy guy with the cold
hands.
I get a little giggly just thinking about
cold hands and long teeth. You really
have to be there, I guess. Most girls
want someone to stay in their beds to keep them warm but few get them to stay
at all. Werewolves hunt all night
long.
A
vampire has his hunt over with in a matter of minutes and comes right back to
his ladylove, at least from what I’ve been told. I could not possible be more inclined to a vampire.
Just think of the stories of vampires as
opposed to werewolves. Vampires always
have a love, some woman they want or maybe even two or three but he is a very
sexual fellow. Now, think about werewolves,
they are supposed to mate for life as wolves but are any of the stories about
his ladylove? No, they are all about
him.
You also get the picture that making love
to a vampire is the best sex ever. Of
course, I only have been told but it is supposed to be super duper. I really think there is no comparison as
writers we have to take the road of the vampire. He is erotic, sexual, mysterious, and charming. He has super
strength and he can shape shift, if necessary into bats and smoke etc. He has a way to hypnotize women with his
gaze. Vampires can do without humans
and go to the local blood bank or use animals in the forest. They have metamorphic creature skills that
we can give all kinds of endearing traits or make more horrific tales. Sometimes, he is a count or we can make him
an angel, or an advertising agent as in “Halo of the Damned” by Dina Rae, or a
victim of another vampire that inspires our motherly instincts. Well, maybe not our motherly instincts but
we definitely want to smother him with kisses if he will just bite our necks
and make passionate love to us. Isn’t
that true?
In my book, “My Angel, My Light As
Darkness Falls” I have him lost and alone but clinging to his lady. Pru’s love is the only thing that matters to
him all through my story. He is smitten
and can’t help himself. That is a
vampire’s fate.
In other words, there is no contest when
it is between vampires and werewolves because vampires are the kinkiest and the
most erotic creatures not alive. I
cannot begin to extol all the properties, or tendencies they possess, or the
multiple qualities yet to be extolled on these creatures for our dreams, or for
our nightmares, but definitely in our books.
