I like it when vampires are quiet about their past, and frequently spend time observing situations. It would seem to me that after a few hundred years, I would stop talking so much. I like it when the older ones play games with people, again, that seems like a reasonable way to be after a while. I like them surly.

I like the ties of sex and food, I like the erotic side of them. I also like the politics of it all, they'd have to have a strong system to have gone this long without being caught.

I'm not a particular fan of seeing too much scientific explanation of how they got to be that way. The "virus" idea doesn't really work for me. I could come up with other ideas, but I think that might be just better left unsaid. It's fiction, not science fiction, IMHO. On the other hand, I don't like it when they go too far, especially when it comes to probability statistics and the whole idea that being bit by a vamp makes you a vamp.

I like it when there are some myths that aren't true, like the "of course we still have a reflection" thing. I have fun discovering that every time I pick up a new world.

I've read a lot of books lately where one or more of the supernaturals are "out of the closet". It's a fun concept, but seems really common right now.

I like it when the interact with other supernaturals. This sometimes has a Star Trek feel to it, where each different world or group takes a part of human nature and that becomes there defining characteristic. Klingons are werewolves sort of thing. I like how that examines humanity.

It's important to me what happens when a vamp dies. I'm not a fan of TB the series, with the overly gory death. I like the ones where the vamp immediately decomposes to whatever level their body would be at if they'd died when they were turned.

That's all I can think of for now
