Happy New Year from the staff of MyVampFiction We hope you have a safe celebration tonight and check back tomorrow for details about our super-special “Love Spelled Backwards is Love” Valentine Fan Fiction Challenge…you won’t want to miss it!

I love books.  I love the way they feel, I love the way they smell, and I love the magical worlds they contain.  I have more books than I know what to do with and have traded in so many at the used bookstore I have enough credit for a small country.  However, when I [...]

Hello MVF readers!  We have some exciting news for you. MyVampFiction is adding to their writing staff! We have been hoping to expand to our list of writers and contributors since we launched the site 2 months ago.  Today, we are excited to announce 3 new staff writers who will be contributing regularly to the [...]

Do you have writer’s block? Do you want to overcome it?  Try a WC. What is a WC, you ask? It’s a Word Count chat and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I have been writing Finding Forever (yes, I’m totally going to pimp my own story, and you can read it here) since [...]

Betas – The saviors of the fanfic world.  Part two in a two part series. In this first part of the series, we focused on what a beta should be able to expect from you as an author.  This week, we’ll talk about what you should expect from your beta.  Again, I’m keeping the snark [...]

The Dark Visions Series, by L.J. Smith reviewed by Saluki The “Dark Visions” series by L.J. Smith is comprised of three books, “Strange Power,” “The Possessed,” and “The Passion”.  In these books, a totally different type of vampire is explored: a psychic vampire.  These vampires aren’t out for blood, instead they crave energy.  However, their [...]

I’m gonna screw up Sue’s post about not having anything new up until Tuesday, but it’s Christmas Eve and I wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone! Christmas is always bittersweet for me. Growing up in a broken home, we rarely had the storybook holiday you see on TV.

MyVampFiction would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. We will be taking this time to celebrate and will resume posting on Monday, December 28th. We hope you have a blessed holiday and we send our best to you, your families and friends.

Today’s Wicked Wednesday feature is brought to you by the letters P and G, and the number 13.  Sirenastarot is taking a break, so I, SusanAshlea, PG-13 writer, am writing this week’s column.  What in the world is a PG-13 writer doing writing a column about lemons?  Well, I wanted to tell you my story: [...]

PG-13? Yes, Please! by SusanAshlea Ah, the lovely ratings system. Without it, our children might see too much gore, hear too much bad language, or see too much about sex before they are ready. They might also be subjected to lemony fan fiction stories that are geared only towards readers old enough to buy Hustler. [...]

Born of Night, by Sherrilyn Kenyon reviewed by Meesh Sherrilyn Kenyon is one of my favorite authors. She writes the Dark Hunter and Dream Hunter series, so when I saw she was writing a series called The League, I quickly bought the first book, Born of Night. Because I have read almost all of the [...]

Blue Bloods, by Melissa de la Cruz reviewed by Saluki For those of you who haven’t read the Blue Bloods series by author Melissa De La Cruz, all I can say is that you should add them to your must read list.  I have read all four books in the series, but today I will [...]

So here I am, Julie aka Jules, writing an introductory blog for MVF.  I could write pages upon pages about how I ended up here but I’ll try to keep this to the point.   Growing up, I read all sorts of books.  They provided an escape to different worlds.  I can remember reading the [...]

by SusanAshlea I was originally scheduled to write a character discussion on Elena Gilbert from the Vampire Diaries for today’s Character Crypt.  Well, I forgot.  When I realized today was the day it was to be posted, I also realized I had slacked and hadn’t re-read the second, third or fourth books in the series.  [...]

This week’s Wicked Wednesday blog is brought to you by ME, SarahBella, as Sirenastarot had to go out of town unexpectedly.  So I thought, hmmm, what topic have we not covered yet?  And thanks to lizabella, I came up with this. Pushing the Envelope And by the way, this blog is rated NC-17.

One day four years ago, I was surfing the internet for Wentworth Miller fan sites.  At the time, I was hooked on Prison Break and the hot guy that played Michael Scofield.  I started posting on a message board, never imagining that the person who would quickly become my bestie best was also on that [...]

The Fever Series, by Karen M. Moning Character & Theory Discussion by SusanAshlea Who is Jericho Z. Barrons? Well, isn’t that the $64,000 question!  As a dedicated reader of this series, I have been waiting four books to find out.  Ms. Moning is master of suspense and redirection, and she must have a brain the [...]

Sunshine, by Robin McKinley reviewed by Saluki “Sunshine,” by Robin McKinley is a quirky, heart-pounding, vampire novel unlike anything I’ve ever read.  The author takes you on a journey through a world where “Others,” live amongst humans and vampires threaten to take over the planet within the next century.  The SOF (Special Other’s Force) works [...]

Let the Right One In by Meesh I’m not sure what I was expecting when I started “Let the Right One In”. I knew it was a foreign film, and I knew it was artistic, especially when compared with my typical vampire fare. Other than that, I just knew I wanted to see this movie [...]

Beta’s – The saviors of the fanfic world.  Part one in a two part series. In this first part of the series, we’ll be focusing on what a beta should be able to expect from you as an author.  In my years (teehee) in fanfic I have been both beta and author, so I think [...]
