Note: We've taken the alt.vampyre.faq, as a place to begin with our own Vampire forum FAQ. Where you see 'newsgroup' or 'group', this refers to our forum or members collectively. As a living FAQ, the parts will expand with questions as recommended and approved based on our Vampire Discussion forum.

Update: Part 1 and Part 2 is currently completed.
Other parts will follow, as I finish them. We will open them up for replies once I've finished and we will allow you to help us update these to correct inaccuracies and contradictions. Thanks for your patience. Once the FAQ is completed, I will finish outlining what will be expected of Vampire Discussion and Real Vampires. -- Sire

DO NOT post these questions in our vampire sections, or your account may be terminated. They are here for a reason. You may reply to these, and your post will be reviewed. If considered appropriate and information to the question thread, it will be approved.
