01 What is this newsgroup about? (vampires)
Alt.vampyres is for the discussion of vampire lore in any culture,
ancient or modern. This group is also for the discussion of vampires in
fiction, such as novels, stories, poetry, comics, movies and television,
as well as for sharing of original poetry and fiction, whether it be
narrative or interactive. Finally, alt.vampyres is a place for the
theoretical discussion about the nature of the legendary vampire in
biology, psychology, and sociology.
Some topics which have been the themes of lengthy discourse in the past
have included: blood drinking, sensitivity to sunlight, definitions of
"vampire", morality, physiology, love, psychic abilities, intelligence,
longevity, history, mythology, image reflection, crossing water, the
hunt for victims, financial security, lifestyles, clothing, dentistry,
music and food preferences, disease-resistence, religion, sex and
reproduction--all regarding the vampire of legend.
