3:07 am | VampTeam: | We have the rare luxury of being able 2 chat about whatever our hearts or thirst desire 2night – tho I do have a couple items #teamvamp |
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 |
