[...]Vampire Ecology: Twilight vs. Buffy « The Oyster’s Garter[...]…

An idea which occurs to me is exactly what was described in Twilight. It is possible that maybe Darla ‘died’ as a human when she was fertile and so she was stuck like that, but then why had she not had a baby before? or maybe she had but it died before the foetus could grow strong enough.

Connor was a superhuman born from two very strong vampires, so maybe it’s more the genelogy, the combination of the parents than the baby itself that allowed Connor to survive and ultimately Darla’s sacrifice.

I hope this has helped, although the reply has come two years late.

But the vampires of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles are by FAR
the most well-rounded, evocative, and believable versions, in my opinion (assuming Vampires
exist in modern society).
For those of you who never read any Anne Rice books; read them, they are amazing pieces of art.
“Interview with the Vampire”, the movie, was done very, very well, though it did not include everything from the book.. “Queen of the Damned” was a freakin travesty. A terrible adaptation of
Anne Rice’s book of the same name.. The book is an epic story, spanning the world and many lifetimes of memories, feelings… The movie was so superficial and way way off. ONly the names and skeletal structure of the book-story can be found in the movie-story.

Blab blablabla abbala lbabalbalablablab

But you guys seem to have forgotten one thing:
NOT ALL VAMPIRE LORE/STORIES/MEDIA CONTEND THAT A VAMPIRE IS CREATED
SIMPLY BY BEING BITTEN.. Most involved other manners of vampiric procreation,
the most metaphysically accepted one being that the Vampire drains the victim
of blood to the point of near-death, and then quickly feeds the victim it’s
vampiric blood. Some time later, the person wakes up as a vampire, having gone through
the transformation..

This completely changes the rate at which Vampires would prospectively multiply. They would likely
be quite picky about who they want to give the curse/gift to..
