3:07 am vampwriter25: @vampteam Of course?!?! Where else would I be? #dontwannagotoeditinghell #teamvamp
3:07 am vampwriter25: @stratfordsj Hello! #teamvamp
3:07 am VampTeam: @stratfordsj Hey there Sarah Jane – thanks for visiting the coffin! Hope all is well! #teamvamp
3:08 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam I bet you have some items…. whatcha got? #teamvamp
3:08 am VampTeam: My first topic/question is: I noticed over the last week that there are others out ther who use #teamvamp, which is totally fine>> #teamvamp
3:08 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam is it really fine, I am sure we can gang up on them 😉 #teamvamp
3:08 am VampTeam: >>but some of them are very vulgar or insulting each other, so im wondering if we should change the chat to #vampteam instead of #teamvamp
3:09 am stratfordsj: @VampTeam great to take a break from ancient Rome to be here! How’s tricks? #Teamvamp
3:09 am VampTeam: They’re not any of our bloody little coven … and it’s not anybody I recognize or follow from any of my accounts #teamvamp
3:09 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam How did ya find this out?? What’s up with the # tag?! #teamvamp
3:10 am VampTeam: @stratfordsj Doing good – been on a #zombie trip recently, but happy to be back with the vamps! #teamvamp
3:10 am vampwriter25: #vampsrock :0)~ #teamvamp
3:11 am VampTeam: Well… I use tweetdeck, and #teamvamp is one of my columns – and even tho we weren’t chatting I could see others using it #teamvamp
3:11 am stratfordsj: @VampTeam Yay, vamps! #Teamvamp
3:11 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam Really? That’s crazy. #teamvamp
3:12 am VampTeam: We can gang up but I think it’ll be hard for us to lay claim sole ownership to something that is so broad #teamvamp
3:12 am VampTeam: #teamvamp chat live at the coffin happening now #teamvamp
3:13 am jterzieff: RT @VampTeam: #teamvamp chat live at the coffin happening now #teamvamp
3:13 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam but do you know that #vampteam isnt in use? #teamvamp
3:14 am ChrisRivan: RT: @VampTeam: #teamvamp chat live at the coffin happening now #teamvamp (If you like dead leech writing.)
3:15 am vampwriter25: @ChrisRivan Hey now! Don’t knock vamps, dammit!!! #teamvamp
3:15 am vampwriter25: I think there’s someone else we can gang up on!! hahaha #teamvamp
3:15 am VampTeam: @ChrisRivan thanks for the support man – i know it’s not your thing!! #teamvamp
3:16 am VampTeam: As far as I know #vampteam is NOT in use @ZyraZyra can’t find anything on twitter using that, that is not associated with my acct #teamvamp
3:17 am VampTeam: @vampwriter25 *snort* be nice to @ChrisRivan – he’s showing support for us writers, even tho vamps are not his thing #teamvamp
3:17 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam well we can always use it but I would assume that eventually it would also be used by others. No way to prevent that #teamvamp
3:17 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam Hahah… well… I’m just sayin… don’t knock it til ya try it. #teamvamp
3:17 am VampTeam: *sigh* you are probably right – no way to stop anyone from using any hashtag really @ZyraZyra #teamvamp
3:18 am ZyraZyra: RT @vampwriter25: @VampTeam Hahah… well… Im just sayin… dont knock it til ya try it.—>I second that! #teamvamp
3:18 am VampTeam: So should we stick with #teamvamp and ignore the odd tweet from others, or go to #vampteam ??? #teamvamp
3:19 am vampwriter25: @ZyraZyra Hahaha… thanks *winks* #teamvamp
3:19 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam I am good either way. #teamvamp
3:21 am VampTeam: Ok, then point number two from me? Ning is about to start charging for its services … I’m content to wait and see how much>> #teamvamp
3:21 am VampTeam: But if anyone out there has any bright ideas on moving our little community elsewhere, I’d love to hear them #teamvamp
3:22 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam you could always set up a facebook fanpage, but there is so much less you can do with that. #teamvamp
3:22 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam I’ll admit… I have no bright ideas. HAHAH #teamvamp
3:23 am stratfordsj: @VampTeam Is Ning the only game in town? #Teamvamp
3:24 am juLii_Ro: iVamp :)RT @RELLVAMP: I guess might as well say #TEAMVAMP
3:24 am VampTeam: I have no idea to be honest — we need a tech person! @stratfordsj #teamvamp
3:24 am RELLVAMP: RT @juLii_Ro: iVamp :)RT @RELLVAMP: I guess might as well say #TEAMVAMP
3:25 am vampwriter25: Uh… #teamvamp
3:25 am VampTeam: Yeah, thought of that — but I like the Ning because everyone can contribute what they want @ZyraZyra #teamvamp
3:25 am ZyraZyra: those must be the odd ones you were talking about #teamvamp
3:25 am vampwriter25: @ZyraZyra hahahahaha… yea, that’s what I was thinkin… #teamvamp
3:25 am VampTeam: Yep!! *snort* at least the language is tame this time! @ZyraZyra it’s kind of funny actually! #teamvamp
3:26 am ZyraZyra: well you can tell, they put theirs in all caps we are all lower case #teamvamp
3:26 am VampTeam: Well, I’ll ask my tech guy in Thailand (if the darned demonstrations ever stop creating chaos in Bangkok) #teamvamp
3:27 am VampTeam: So…. on a broader topic …. was thinking as I was wandering the streets of New Orleans last week #teamvamp
3:27 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam You’re so cool… you have a tech guy in Thailand… so awesome. #teamvamp
3:27 am VampTeam: Interview with the Vampire series reinvigorated the vampire into pop culture, most of Rice’s characters had the same limits>> #teamvamp
3:28 am VampTeam: >>charactetistics that we “normally” associated with vampires (eg. sunlight). Now in the age of Twilight vampires are different #teamvamp
3:29 am VampTeam: Is there a vampire tradition you think is holier-than-holy and should never be changed? #teamvamp
3:29 am VampTeam: *snort* it sounds cooler than it is! (tho Thailand is gorgeous!) @vampwriter25 #teamvamp
3:29 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam Fangs #teamvamp
3:29 am ZyraZyra: and blood #teamvamp
3:30 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam Uh… you mean other than the obvious… blood drinkers. #teamvamp
3:30 am vampwriter25: Yeah, fangs… of course. #teamvamp
3:30 am vampwriter25: Immortality… that’s huge (for me, anyway)… that’s my favorite trait. #teamvamp
3:30 am VampTeam: Fangs – interesting. I would have always thought so except that I like the use of Ankh in The Hunger @ZyraZyra #teamvamp
3:31 am VampTeam: Didn’t hurt that it was Sarandon and Bowie …. yummy!!! @ZyraZyra #teamvamp
3:31 am VampTeam: Wellllll some of the vamps in True Blood don’t drink blood – they drink that manufactured stuff right?! @vampwriter25 #teamvamp
3:32 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam Fangs are a defining trait I think is necessary #teamvamp
3:32 am VampTeam: And if a vamp is drinking manufactured blood, does it still count? #teamvamp
3:32 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam but its still “blood” its not as if they are living off cheesburgers #teamvamp
3:32 am vampwriter25: And I prefer vamps that can ‘feed’ (mmm… bite) without killing/changing the human #teamvamp
3:33 am VampTeam: Yeah, I would tend to agree on the fangs — and I think The Hunger is the only time I’ve seen it done and be passable @ZyraZyra #teamvamp
3:33 am vampwriter25: Umm, not sure, haven’t seen True Blood yet (i’m lame, no hbo) #teamvamp
3:33 am VampTeam: I think immortality is every1’s fav trait! (tho there’s something to be said for not having to pay credit cd bills) @vampwriter25 #teamvamp
3:34 am vampwriter25: Wait, what do you mean ‘manufactured’? #teamvamp
3:34 am VampTeam: Oh God no – could u imagine?!?!? Vampires eating cheeseburgers??? @ZyraZyra #teamvamp
3:35 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam stick with #teamvamp
3:35 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam I think it would kill the vamp appeal for so many #teamvamp
3:35 am VampTeam: @vampwriter25 hit Blockbuster and get the videos — True Blood is a great show (there is a drink for vamps they can consume) #teamvamp
3:36 am VampTeam: Hey! @bdmiller3132 thanks for popping in!!! Yeah, I think sticking with #teamvamp gets the nod! #teamvamp
3:36 am vampwriter25: What do you think about vamps that can survive on human food? Or at least, can consume it too? #teamvamp
3:36 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam Yea, I was sent the link to watch true blood online, haven’t had a chance yet #teamvamp
3:36 am VampTeam: It’s the fang penetration thing right? @ZyraZyra I know I always find those descriptions to be, ummmmmm, appealing …. #teamvamp
3:37 am ZyraZyra: @vampwriter25 eh why? I can understand drinking fine brandy perhaps, but why consume food? #teamvamp
3:37 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam mmm yes, one of my faves #teamvamp
3:38 am vampwriter25: @ZyraZyra I agree… I prefer vamps that *literally* only need to drink blood… why bother with food. #teamvamp
3:38 am VampTeam: *snort* @Beekeeper12 has no computer and would like us to “kill me now,” he says — doesn’t he realize who he is talking to?!?!? #teamvamp
3:39 am VampTeam: @Beekeeper12 *snort* I told the gang of ur predicament — expect a nocturnal visit soon BUAH-ha-ha-ha-ha #teamvamp
3:40 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam That can *very* easily be arranged… @beekeeper12 #teamvamp
3:40 am VampTeam: RT @vampwriter25: @ZyraZyra I agree… I prefer vamps that *literally* only need to drink blood… why bother with food. #teamvamp
3:41 am VampTeam: No, no time for tours. @bdmiller3132 was in N.O. for work, but managed to get to the voodoo museum. it was CREEEEEPY #teamvamp
3:42 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam you know what i miss about todays vampire, their lack of fun with their food #teamvamp
3:42 am VampTeam: what about reproduction? should vamps be able to have children? #teamvamp
3:43 am ZyraZyra: @VampTeam I can, have. But I can’t turn humans into vamps. #teamvamp
3:43 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam Well, male or female vamps? Or should there be a difference? #teamvamp
3:43 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam true blood has fake blood, twilight are vegans. Where is Lestat when you need him #teamvamp
3:43 am Wookiesgirl: @VampTeam Some vamps are able to reproduce. Some species are born not made.. #teamvamp
3:43 am VampTeam: you mean a la Lestat yes? @bdmiller3132 God he was so nasty!!!! I felt for Louis, I really did #teamvamp
3:44 am vampwriter25: @bdmiller3132 Mmm… I agree! #teamvamp
3:44 am VampTeam: Right @Wookiesgirl but SHOULD they be able to? I asked what people think are the holier-than-holy vampire traits #teamvamp
3:45 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam reproduction is a hard issue. I guess it depends on the vamp. #teamvamp
3:45 am vampwriter25: I like using a lotta vamp myths in my book… and then make it *humorous*… and sarcastic. (if you can imagine that from me) #teamvamp
3:45 am VampTeam: i’m crazy – @Wookiesgirl I was in New Orleans last week and it got me on an Anne Rice-how-did-we-get-to-Twilight thought process #teamvamp
3:46 am VampTeam: What?!?!?!?! @vampwriter25 YOU? sarcastic?!?! no, never! #teamvamp
3:47 am VampTeam: BTW, we’ve got more authors/agent guests in the coming weeks — but I miss the wild vampire guests so will get some of those in #teamvamp
3:47 am VampTeam: You know, the vampire guests can be a little challenging to get — they demand a high blood price *snort* #teamvamp
3:47 am vampwriter25: As far as reproduction, I see them as ‘dead’ or ‘vamp-insides’… not human. SO, can vamp-insides reproduce if they’re ‘dead’? ehh #teamvamp
3:48 am vampwriter25: Umm, I can *get* one… tho she’s a bitch, so… #teamvamp
3:48 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam wild vampire guest you say #teamvamp
3:48 am VampTeam: Louis DEF has issues; but, ultimately, so did Lestat (i always loved Armand) @bdmiller3132 #teamvamp
3:49 am VampTeam: RT @vampwriter25: As far as reproduction, I see them as ‘dead’ or ‘vamp-insides’… not human. SO, can vamp-insides reproduce if they’re ‘dead’? ehh #teamvamp
3:49 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam I know I didn’t answer a Q there, just went round and round… #teamvamp
3:50 am VampTeam: RT @VampWriter25 Umm, I can *get* one…tho she’s a bitch, so… #teamvamp >>>ohhhh boy, that’s dangerous – but ask her, see whats her price
3:50 am stratfordsj: Hey all, was on the phone & must get back to Rome, but am amused re: vamp reproduction! #Teamvamp
3:51 am VampTeam: Yes @bdmiller3132 – sometimes, when we’re lucky (and I can spare the blood) we have vampire guests. #teamvamp
3:51 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam do you really want a bitch vamp on here? #teamvamp
3:52 am VampTeam: No worries! @stratfordsj thank you for popping in! (and Rome — as in Spartacus, or research?) #teamvamp
3:52 am KattyVamp: @VampTeam Juliette, you’re lucky you’re not a man… that’s all I’m gonna say. #teamvamp
3:53 am KattyVamp: @bdmiller3132 I’m not that bad… ok I am… but, you should just ignore my writer. #teamvamp
3:53 am stratfordsj: @VampTeam Writing & research. Much fun! #Teamvamp
3:54 am vampwriter25: Oh hell… #teamvamp
3:54 am Wookiesgirl: @VampTeam I think again.. It depends on what type of vamp you are dealing with. #teamvamp
3:54 am VampTeam: you know, actually, we’ve had a few …. @bdmiller3132 … oh crap, I think we may have attracted one with our chat! #teamvamp
3:55 am bdmiller3132: @Kattyvamp how bad can it really be? #teamvamp
3:55 am VampTeam: Nice!! @stratfordsj you’ll have to fill me in when you get a breather (like, 2019 or so …. LOL) thanks again! #teamvamp
3:55 am KattyVamp: Well… I may just have some special insight. Maybe *winks* #teamvamp
3:55 am KattyVamp: @bdmiller3132 Oh, not that bad. She’s just exaggerating. #teamvamp
3:56 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam I saw that #teamvamp
3:56 am VampTeam: *shaking, reaching up to type from underneath the chair* How goes it @KattyVamp ? #teamvamp
3:57 am VampTeam: Would you be willing to take on the coffin next week as a vampire guest @KattyVamp as we’re almost up on our hour tonight? #teamvamp
3:57 am KattyVamp: @VampTeam I’m wonderful, though I wish my writer would let me out a bit more. She’s even been ignoring my story… *pouts* #teamvamp
3:57 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam *snort* #teamvamp
3:58 am KattyVamp: @VampTeam This whole ‘editing’ thing she’s always on about is a joke. I’ve got more to tell her, book two… *giggles* #teamvamp
3:58 am KattyVamp: @VampTeam Of course I will. #teamvamp
3:58 am VampTeam: Great thank you @KattyVamp I’ll bring the “food” #teamvamp
3:59 am KattyVamp: It would be *nice* if Ahres popped up… I do love looking at him… mmm… #teamvamp
3:59 am VampTeam: Well, small gathering tonight but as always, lots of blood and gore (fun) in the coffin #teamvamp
3:59 am KattyVamp: @VampTeam Yum… boys please… *winks* #teamvamp
3:59 am Wookiesgirl: @KattyVamp Let me see if I can find him for you #teamvamp
4:00 am VampTeam: and yes, @KattyVamp, we’ll see if we can entice @Ahres_Guardian to make an appearance next week to tag-team you (I know u like it) #teamvamp
4:00 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam Small group, but QUALITY! :)~ #teamvamp
4:00 am VampTeam: Thanks love! @Wookiesgirl – if you find him, can u ask him to *gulp* reach out to me for next week? (that’s reach, not bite!) #teamvamp
4:01 am KattyVamp: @Wookiesgirl *giggles* Well, ya know… I don’t wanna be the only vamp here next week! #teamvamp
4:01 am bdmiller3132: @TeamVamp I agree with @KattyVamp with the boys. YUM #teamvamp
4:01 am VampTeam: RT @vampwriter25: @VampTeam Small group, but QUALITY! :)~ #teamvamp
4:01 am Wookiesgirl: @VampTeam Well @KattyVamp you may want to stick around.. @ahres_guardian may show up #teamvamp
4:01 am KattyVamp: @bdmiller3132 Boys are better… taste better, that is. #teamvamp
4:01 am VampTeam: Well, pshaw, if he’s coming now I’ll stick around a few! #teamvamp
4:02 am KattyVamp: @Wookiesgirl Oh? Really? Hmm… #teamvamp
4:02 am MistressTamara: #teamvamp shit. I am too late?
4:02 am vampwriter25: Oh hell… come on…. #teamvamp
4:02 am VampTeam: Got back door channels open with couple of our “boyz” so hopefully they’ll put in appearances next week @bdmiller3132 @KattyVamp #teamvamp
4:03 am VampTeam: Hey there! @MistressTamara actually we’re up on the hour, but hanging around to see if Ahres_Guardian will pop in #teamvamp
4:03 am Wookiesgirl: @MistressTamara You could always stay and play on the reg stream #teamvamp
4:03 am KattyVamp: @VampTeam Wonderful… it’ll be quite interesting then. #teamvamp
4:03 am VampTeam: We’ve got author/agent guests lined up for the coming weeks, but next week @KattyVamp is going to take on our male vamps #teamvamp
4:04 am bdmiller3132: @VampTeam I plan on it #teamvamp
4:04 am jterzieff: RT @VampTeam: We’ve got author/agent guests lined up for the coming weeks, but next week @KattyVamp is going to take on our male vamps #teamvamp
4:04 am KattyVamp: @VampTeam *licks lips* Take them on? Not a problem… at all. #teamvamp
4:05 am VampTeam: Ok, so I am going to “officially” close the coffin lid – but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep playing inside *winks* #teamvamp
4:05 am MistressTamara: RT @WookiesGirl @MistressTamara You could always stay and play on the reg stream #teamvamp – I may have to take you up on that.
4:06 am Annarkie: @VampTeam Ooh, are we doing a #teamvamp chat now, or did I miss it?
4:06 am vampwriter25: @VampTeam You really shouldn’t egg her on like that, she doesn’t need encouragement to be naughty. #teamvamp
4:06 am Annarkie: Oh, I did miss it. Damn my timezone. #teamvamp
4:06 am VampTeam: Actually it just ended @Annarkie but people are still around and playing #teamvamp so feel free to join in

4:08 am VampTeam: No worries! @MistressTamara that just means i get a discounted blood price next time i need a favor from you *winks* #teamvamp
4:09 am Sparrowbug: @Annarkie LOL. I was writing about mortals in a story that classifies as Literary Fiction. Oh the shame! #teamvamp
4:09 am VampTeam: No prob @Sparrowbug – but we missed you Wendy! it was a good chat! next week should be bloody! @KattyVamp ‘ll have her claws out! #teamvamp
