"So, given a choice between being dinner, and becoming a vampire (standard pros and cons; very strong, getting stronger over time, almost unkillable, unless someone has a pencil or holy water, continued existence unless killed, funny sleeping habits and not very good reaction to direct sunlight), what would you choose?"
Um, I believe some conditions were not mentioned: what incentive in Anne Rice/Buffyverse is there for choosing to become the dinner? Is there some sort of higher calling or reincarnation to superior existence for those who are virtuous? I understand that you say God is distant, but does that cause good to go unrewarded? Is this in other words a purely Neitzschean nihilism, or are there indications of some attainable Nirvana by right living?
Fangs for the memory; would you become a vampire?

Has anyone here ever heard of Laurel K Hamilton? She writes about Vampires in St Louis, Mo. I thoroughly enjoy her books. Plus, her storyline takes place in my home town. Now THAT is cool!! Vamps, right down the street.
I also appreciated when Anne Rice sent some of her characters into St Louis.
Oh, and I would definately go for being a vamp.

Since I was a kid, I have loved vampire and monster movies. I always thought it would be neat to live forever here on earth. (One reason being a JW appealed to me!) The only thing that I thought would be sad would be that ones close to you would die unless you turned them into a vampire also.
Then I saw the movie Blade and thought, Cool! You could marry a vampire and have your own vampire babies and you could all live forever and keep your identity to yourself. Just have to make real safe investments or you'd end up working forever, LITERALLY!

GAH...Reb, reb, reb....man....
Don't see the attractiveness of the creatures of the night, huh? Not feeling those 'undead' vibes?
Me, I'd pick the Anne Rice vampires. And I'd vampire-kick yo ass!
