I, too, thought this was a very good book. I found the detail about
how Sonya saw the other un-dead creatures (and the explanation of the
different types) fascinating. Does anyone know about any other books
by the author (her name slips my mind-- Janet something, maybe) Someone
told me that there was a sequel to _Sunglasses_ is that true?

Hi, I'm new to Usenet -- and to this Forum!   I'm interested in learning 
more about Vampyre RPGs ... as well as discussing vampires with others 
who have similar interests.   I recently read a wonderful book on vampire 
mythology as urban legend ... AMERICAN VAMPIRES ... from THE LOST BOYS to 
Anne Rice!

The way I read through this newgroup is by first reading the subject.  If it 
mentions vampyre music or any such thing, I just don't read it.  Those are 
for the people who want to know about music relating to vampyres.

I like hearing about books and movies, and enjoy the lore that is posted.  
However, the pleas for immortality are numerous.  If you want to become a 
vampyre, post it with your heart and will, not a keyboard and network.

Far from telling people what to do, I think anyone should be able to post 
what they want.  I posted a short story quite a while ago and got no 
response.  So, reason would say that the interest for vampyre stories is not 
in this group and that I should take it to Alt.writing or some such group.  
Oh well, if I was in error, my pardons.

Still, I like this group.

I owe everyone on the list a BIG apology!  Apparently a bunch of the informatio
n I got and sent out was *WRONG*!! I dont' have a full update on everything yet
, but I'll tell what I know.

CBS *has not* renewed FK at all.  We have 4 more episodes that are finished
and will therefore be braodcast, but that's *it*; they don't want *any* more
than that.  :-(

The next step is to go to cable networks and tell them about the show and get
one to buy it.  The guy doing this is John Feldheimer.  This is the part where
my info is sketchy;I only have this guy's phone number and what we really need
is an address. The phone # is (310) 202-4900.  Mr. Feldheimer works for Tri-Sta
r and will be the one presenting this deal to people, so it's important for him
to know that the show has a following.  As soon as I get an address (or if some
one calls and gets one), I (or whoever else, please) will post it to this list.

I need to ask a favor:  could someone forward this note to the appropriate news
groups?  I don't have Network News access.

Thanks, and sorry again for both the false info and the bad news.  Let's hope t
his isn't the end of FK. . .

If you going to submit a song title, I suggest make sure the spelling is the
way the artists wrote it, they use vampire not vamprye.  But good choice.

The way I see it, we are not qualified to judge what exists and what doesn'
t.  Sure, I believe that they are things in existence that we can only 
imagine in the vehicle of fiction, and I do not consider myself fanciful to 
the extreme.  As far as insanity; insanity is disbelief in the face of solid 
facts.  In the absence of solid facts, it's a toss up.  Believe as you will, 
and keep a sharp eye out for the facts.

When i was younger(about 10) i had a simillar experience except that
for all my rationalisations, i still can't convince myslef that it was 
just a dream. I was doing battle with insomina and i was laying in bed,
in the dark, with the foolish idea that if i tried hard enough, i could
will myself asleep. It wasn;t working well, so i wound up just staring
at the darkness for a long time. i don;t remeber when i became aware
of it. I had a sensation, a feeling that instinctualy translated itself
as "something wants posession of my body". What was it and why? I still
have no idea. I spent the night in 'combat' or resistance to this thing
that seemed to want to posess me. By the time morning came around and
i felt safe again, i was exhausted and much as i tried to believe that
it was a dream, i do not remember waking up and saying, 'i'm awake
now, and i was dreaming' or 'i was just so tired i was having delusions'.
I still beleive that it was more than that, but to this day, i still
can't explain it.

Your bosom lifts in expectation of my kiss.
I take you up, tender chalice, to my lips.
Your heartbeat fans the embers of my burning lust
As you press into my arms in innocent trust.
My hunger rages expectantly within me,
Burning into your heart with its intensity,
Freeing your mind from the hold of mortality.
Give yourself to me! Give yourself to me! Be free!
And as the vestiges of life's hold slip away,
I admit you to the fold that never sees day
And complete the consecration of your dark gift
With a scarlet consuming kiss through parted lips.

I consider the 1978 BBC Dracula starring Louis Jourdan to be one of

good evening all...
i was reading a book today, although it has nothing to do with
vamp(iy)res, i think you'll find this quote to be of some relevance...

"By the time he reached Times Square he was drunk with well-being. He
felt the ebb and flow of bright, liquid blood in his veins. With
trip-hammer rhythm it rose and fell, dilated his heart, bathed his
vision, surged through his pulsing limbs. Bright, red, liquid blood: in
a state of euphoria it made men wise, lucid, sane; diluted it produced
flaccidity, neuroticism, despair, and melancholy; clotted it gave the
spangled phenomena of solipsism, the terrors of epilepsy and chorea, the
hierarchies of caste, the unfathomable magnitudes of dementia. In a
single red corpuscle were sufficient enigmas to confound all the
colleges of science. In blood were men born and in blood they died.
Blood was potent, fecund, magical. Blood was an ecstasy of pain and
beauty, a miracle of creative destruction, a particle of the divine
essence perhaps the essence itself. Where blood flowed life ran strong.
Where there was song there was blood, and where there was worship there
was blood. There was blood in the sunset, in the flowers of the field,
in the eyes of maniacs and prophets, in the fire of precious gems.
Everywhere where there was life and song and drunkenness and worship and
triumph there was blood."

No, this is not a preview of what is to come.  It is a list of what I would

feel free to contribute:

Lestat:  The same guy who was in Highlander, I forget his name.  Anyway, his

Louis:   Don't take this the wrong way, but I think ANYBODY could play Louis.
         However, I can see this one being Michael Keaton.  Kinda a cross
         between his *Pacific Heights* character and *Mr.Mom*

Claudia: Drew Barrymore--hands down.  Who else could play a five to seven year
         old body with the mind of a seductress?  She lived this!  Course, to
         get her to look that age again would be impossible.  But we can't have
         everything.

Armand:  The kid who played in Terminator 2.  I can't remember his name either.
         But he is young enough to look the part, and old enough to be quite
         convincing.

I leave all the others to you to fill in.  Any future casting directors out there?
