@DraculaBites #vampchat Cleo is bitten by Sekhmet the estranged daughter of the Sun God, Ra. So sun, for #Cleopatra? Bad news.

I'm reading Vampire Diaries. They really hold up considering they're 20 years old. Damon is written the same aka perfectly. #vampchat

@MARIADAHVANA actually vamp culture is very rich. lots of old vellums written in vahmpeerigo (vampire dialect). #vampchat. many were 'good.'
— billy kravitz (@wilkravitz) May 12, 2011
@wilkravitz That sounds fun (and crazy.) So, is there a Lewis Carroll element? that would be a great hybrid book… #vampchat
— Maria DahvanaHeadley (@MARIADAHVANA) May 12, 2011
@DraculaBites I agree. Although, I guess I'm pretty much a vegetarian, and it's worked out fine. #vampchat

In terms of vampire origin stories: for example. @jccronin's THE PASSAGE deals with viral vampirism. #vampchat
— Maria DahvanaHeadley (@MARIADAHVANA) May 12, 2011
@DraculaBites depending on their beliefs. faith rarely dies. Most I know take vows 2 cull the wicked. even attend services #vampchat

@DraculaBites in #QueenOfKings, it's just the way Sekhmet is built. But Cleopatra becomes a vampire because she sells her soul. #Vampchat

It doesn't seem like the Cullens for eg are exactly suffering. They can do everything regular people do & more, plus they're rich. #vampchat
