I've never touched on this subject, although it's a long time coming. My biggest fans tell me its obvious that I have a bias towards vampires. I know this but I've never quite explained it before.
It's not a revelation or even really interesting as a motive. All that really happened is that my first love was a vampire. His name was Lacob and my family wanted to kill me for it. Anyway, my fascination with rebelling against my family led to me exploring outside of our community more and more. I didn't really have a purpose at the time. I wasn't thinking about writing observations, just living for the experience. He was the one who changed my perspective on things. In a way, he was my first unofficial observation. Through Lacob I had learned so much about the vampire culture. I wasn't just in love with him, but his species as a whole too. I didn't date him because he was a vampire or because he was "different" from us, but I also can't deny my genuine spark of curiosity that felt like fondness from learning about a different race.
It was about the time that I had learned that vampires don't have to, or most likely never kill their food while feeding and that no, the individual they target doesn't turn into a vampire either that I encountered what I had felt to be the biggest debunk in history. I was young and naïve and truly thought that. To talk about what I've learned would be to reiterate everything I've already written, so if you wish to refresh your memory go ahead. It's what inspired me to begin to write and clear up misunderstandings. He helped me find the purpose in my life.
I guess it's a sense of nostalgia that has developed this bias of mine. I just learned about vampires from such an interpersonal manner that it's one of the few species I can declare myself as an expert, yet still want to learn about and explore.
