So while reading up on some vampire news I came across a really interesting blog that caught my attention for quite a few hours. This blog is called Real Vampire News, and according to its “About” page, this blog is states…
The main motivation for Real Vampire News is to provide news articles, short stories, explanations, and pretty much anything else pertaining to Real Vampirism. While it started out as the illegitimate brainchild of me, John Reason, it has become quite a bit more. Real vampires, donors, and just plain regular folks have come together to create something great – a place where people can come to learn about real vampire news, and other news of direct relation. People have helped out from all across the globe. I think that sometimes the fact gets forgotten that the internet has afforded us all great opportunities to get together and enjoy each other’s company. So let’s do just that; we’ll all get along, and read together.
Now after reading that and its Aims and Goals Page (here), I was way confused. At first I thought it was a joke, or a parody website of some sort, but thats not it at all. This website is written and aims to provide a resource for those individuals who are true vampires. Those that like blood, sucking life forces, and being creatures of the night. Basically Modern Vampirism.
Its an interesting website, and its something that I have really no experience or knowledge with. While I don’t exactly “get it”, and don’t really understand about being a “real vampire”, I also don’t and will not condone, nor condemn these people. I aim to always be respectful of anyone that is respectful in return, and just because someone wishes to call themselves a vampire and drink blood, or live like a vampire, its not my place to condemn them, as long as no one is getting hurt, of course!
I won’t go into too much detail about the site, its an interesting read though, I spend a couple hours there myself. And if you are at all interested in vampires (which I guess you are if you are on my blog), then you should probably check it out. They have a lot of informational articles, and really aim to please their community.
John Reason is the webmaster, and it seems that he is pretty involved in his blog, and you can tell by the well thought out articles and the appealing layout of the site. He also seems to be readily available and replies to comments pretty regularly so if Vampirism is on your thoughts, maybe this blog is what you have been needing.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the site – but please, don’t be rude or degrading, it unnecessary, and it won’t stay on my site!
