I like reading vampire stories and thought about writing one once (I've indulged with semi-vampiric creatures, although at least they don't sparkle), and population dynamics are the first thing that came to mind. It's one thing if your vampires retain their human intelligence. They could then just refrain from making everyone they bite an immortal, and monitor their feeding to avoid drawing human attention. But when you've got crazy I AM LEGEND-style vamps? They'd overrun the earth quickly.; March 27, 2009 at 2:11 PM
