Are vampires gay men surrogates for straight women?
An Esquire article by Stephen Marche suggests vampires are a way for straight women to (metaphorically) have sex with gay men.

I just started watching True Blood via Netflix. I think I may need to get HBO now and hope for reruns since Season 2 isn't available on DVD yet.

You can probably get them as a torrent pretty easily.

An emphatic no. It's about the female. if we're talking the vampire romance genre.

You write a vampire romantic hero in the same vein* as a ruthless mogul hero. He's a bad, bad boy who would do who-knows-what to you behind closed doors. He wants to have power over you but you. must. resist. until he somehow redeems himself. However, the male vampire isn't the only one who redeems himself. Through resistance to what she knows is not good for her, the heroine becomes a better person.

The reader knows these two are going to end up together but it can't be before both of them have grown/changed. It's a very mechanical genre.

I hope I didn't rain on anyone's parade. Didn't mean to.


*ha!

Just for the record, I'm not saying I agree with it, I just thought it was an interesting hypothesis.

Nah. I've been quite enjoying romance novels lately. Don't mind a bit. I like counting on the happy ending I think.

But it's true what you said - they are all such the same story, to some extent, over and over.

Only if gay men were as hot a most vampires.

OK, so True Blood watchers - I need to know if that dog dies and if it's graphic, and if so, is it season 1 or later? I know they show a dead dog in the opening. I can handle people being killed, but not animals.

Just FYI, the opening credits are not clips from any episodes.

But here's the answer to your question.
Spoiler:
The dog featured prominently in Season 1 doesn't die.

So, will your NaNoWriMo novel be about vampires?
