Vampires Writing Prompts

Vampires cannot enter a house uninvited. Turns out, they invented Welcome mats to bypass this rule decades ago.

The Distant Future. The vampires have risen and taken most of the world. Humanity's last refuge is Africa: where the rain itself is holy water, having been blessed long ago by the vampire hunters of Toto.

A fairy invites a vampire into her home. Vampires have dominion over whoever invites them to their home, and fairies have dominion over anyone who violates the laws of hospitality. The vampire is trying to maneuver himself to eat the fairy without the fairy being able to declare him a bad guest

You are a vampire. If one of your victims isn't completely drained of blood, they reanimate as a newborn vampire, which by law, you are now responsible for. You have always carefully avoided this, until one morning you notice a sticky note on the door of your apartment: "I lived, bitch."

A master vampire owns the building, the alpha werewolf owns the restaurant. The Hunters Guildmaster is here, sword out. Other guests have fled. But your pasta had a distinct tang of gluten and were those peppers? Are they trying to kill you? You are Karen and you want to see some managers.

Traditionally, vampires could not see their reflection because mirrors were silver-backed. With the invention of aluminum-backed mirrors, a vampire sees their reflection for the first time only to find out they are the ugliest thing they have ever seen.

The reason vampires don't have a reflection is because mirrors were originally made with silver which cannot hold an image of an evil creature. When a vampire wakes up for the first time in 1000 years they find a modern day mirror without silver and are surprised by what they see.

You are an old African priest tired of watching your people being terrorized by vampires. You saw the weather forecast, and you know your job. Today, you'll bless the rains down in Africa.

You, a newly-turned vampire, are thrilled to discover that you CAN eat garlic, walk in sunlight, and see yourself in mirrors, all while being immortal. You are much less thrilled to discover the one major drawback that none of the legends ever got right.

Humanity discovers that supernatural creatures such as vampires and werewolves exist. Instead of attempting to exterminate them, some countries attempt to offer them lucrative jobs that they could do better than a human.

Panic spreads amongst the African Vampire community after Toto blesses the rains.

You're an immortal vampire who looks like a 20 year old. When someone learns that you're a vampire they always assume that you're hundreds of years old and want to hear about all your adventures, though you're actually 53 and you're always too embarassed to correct them.

As a vampire you've always found an Open House as an easy opportunity to cross a threshold to feed on foolish mortals. But the place is charming, the master bedroom is lovely, the colors look great against the hardwoods, the neighbors seem nice, and the house is suprisingly within your budget...

Sometimes children get born with weird diseases like vampirism or lycantrophy. The effects of these uncurable illnesses only get detectable when the kid is around 8 years old. Many parents then abandon their child. You run an orphanage for these children.

You've just become a vampire. On the downside, finding fresh human blood is hard in the apocalypse. On the upside, being a vampire makes you immune to zombie bites.

Because of their immortality, vampires pick up really strange hobbies. You've met a vampire that's been making a stop-motion movie using bonsai trees since the 70's, and another that's been helping a now massive lobster out of its shell for the past 850 years.

A vampire may only enter a building if he's invited in. Knowing this, vampire hunter Van Housing developed a suit of armor that is shaped like a house on which he can curl like a hermit crab and become immune to attacks. It's ridiculous...but it works.

A secret cabal of vampires is actually trying to fix the world's problems. Not because they're good people, but because modern Humans are so stressed and unhealthy and filled with pollutants that it makes their blood horrible to drink.

"You're a...Vampire!? Are you going to suck my blood?" "Ew no. I'm a vampire not a cannibal. Just like regular humans, Vampires are all different. The one the old stories were based on, was just weird. He was a psycho before he was turned too. Tea?"

Most vampires spend their immortality spoiling themselves and living lavishly. Instead, you've been working the night shift at a Waffle House for 70+ years with no intention of leaving. One of your coworkers asks why.

You have Vampiric Blood running through your veins. However, that blood comes from quite a few generations back, so all it really means is that you like eating meat, can't swim, get mildly annoyed by religious architecture, and get sunburned really easily.

You fell in love with a vampire. You married her on the condition that she would never bite to convert you. Life is good. You get to keep both your love and your humanity. However, you forgot to account for your teething baby daughter biting you.

You hear a soft squeaking coming from a nearby tree stump. When you lean down to take a peek, you find a bat with a torn wing. You take it home, since there are no vets for miles around. Little do you know that it is a vampire bat who is struggling to turn into his human form.

An ancient vampire has Turned you. As you are coming to terms with your new reality, they explain that they did it because want their crypt to have internet access and wifi.

You are the first ever completely ethical vampire: you post the terms and conditions of trespassing, make it clear in the memo that said people are subject to be fed on... You can safely say that humanity's stupidity has kept you alive for thousands of years.

You were happy with getting an A+ on your "vampire myths" essay, with a comment about how you did excellent research, but you thought that was the end of it. A few days later, though, you open your door to find a vampire and a vampire hunter on your porch.

Not only did your best friend find out you're a vampire, but he/she wants you to turn them. You try your best to explain the less obvious downsides to this curse.

Vampires can only enter your home if you invite them in because... Consent is important in vampire culture.

Vampires exist. They sleep for 10 thousand years to let the human/livestock population grow before waking up and harvesting our blood. They wake up today, assuming we are still cavemen like

“Mom…Dad…I’m…” “Gay? We know sweetheart. And we still love yo—-“ “No I’m—“ “Trans too? Oh don’t worry dear we always kind of knew…” “No for the love of god I’ve been turned into a vampire!!”
