Rules & Questions

Most blog awards are very personal things, and to formally receive the award you have to answer random questions and/or offer random facts about yourself. The Vampire Lover Blog Award is different, in that the questions and facts should be about a vampire. There are various ways to do this:

• If you, the recipient, are a real-life vampire (and I know at least one blogger who is) then you may choose to talk about yourself.
• If you are an author of vampire stories, you may allow one of your vampiric characters to receive the award. (This may also be a way for you to explore and develop aspects of character in works-in-progress.)
• For fun, you may select a vampire from film and/or literature and imagine how they would answer the questions.
• Or, you could imagine yourself a vampire, or create a new vampiric character solely for this purpose.

There are no restrictions about what kind of vampire you are. Perhaps you are a superheroic alpha vampire in search of his one true love, or perhaps you are an evil femme fatale who feeds on psychic and/or sexual energy.
