: Re: What would be the best way to make a vampire story with a bit of romance without it being crappy? So I'm trying to write a story about a vampire couple who are on a quest, to become human

This will be closed in 3â€¦ 2â€¦

But here's an idea. Make them suddenly not vampires. Hilarity ensues as they have to eat vegetables, get day-jobs, and actually learn how to have a conversation now that the whole sensuously-evil aura isn't working out.

The quest is about them trying to become vampires again, but along the way they are forced to question their vampire lifestyle: sleeping all day, indiscriminate exchange of body fluids, the pretentious fashions, sleeping in a box of dirtâ€¦.

It is a metaphor for becoming an adult, and learning how to be person who gives back to society rather than always taking.
