I'm really not a fan of that tactic. What I would really like to see is, instead of everyone being turned, I'd like to see the reverse. I want to see a vampire giving up their longevity of life for a single lifespan with the MC. I would play a game like that with relish.

In the fictional world I am creating I initially wanted to shy away from the big three (Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies), because a general rule I don't like how they are done. A friend at work made a suggestion that I loved on how to handle Vampires and Zombies, so I've been using that along with something in reaction to a comment someone else made that has defined by Weres.

I do not currently have any werewolves, but I do have both werebunnies and werecats (domestic cats, not wild cats). I might have others. Being a were is a curse that is passed down from generation to generation and can be cured.

Likewise instead of vampires, I have The Cursed. They could enjoy longevity except very fewer of them survive long enough for that. Many are killed very soon after they are cursed and some of them blame vampire lore for that. I have a woman who is among the cursed who has been cursed for fifty years and that's considered a long time among them. They have other drawbacks such as the need for blood which for the most part is seen as a problem since feeding on a human can get them dead pretty fast if they are caught. I don't currently recall more than that, but generaly it is a curse and they would get rid of it if they could.

Zombies I have not dealt with very much, but the idea involves having them only appear on a very limited basis and be the result of the actions of a necromancer and it not being possible to become one unless you are already dead. When it comes up, I will deal with it more.

But basically, I'm not thrilled that they turned Lily and before we actually knew details I was rather hoping that Jax would be a vampire hunter. I think if I had actually looked at his picture I might have known otherwise, but that's what I was hoping for. It would have been interesting, in my opinion, to see how they reconciled a potential love interest who was a vampire hunter with a boss who was a vampire.

Anyway, do you have any ideas on what you would like to see in that series and how you think it might be improved?
