This is the discussion related to the wiki page On The Common Vampyre.
Good article. While at rare times its explanation of basic vampire tropes was a little boring, the analytical approach was, for the most part, original and creative. All the extra details make it shimmer. Plus, the perspective switch at the end, where we learn we're actually hunting the vampires, is a nice twist. +1
Mm Mm Good
I literally research vampire folklore and cultural lore as a hobby because I'm brainweird like that and everything here felt so right to me! Not in the sense of "matching" any "real stuff", it made me feel at home with how well the topic was executed. Great job!!!
Like Elogee said, this manages to be engaging while not really doing subversive with what constitutes the typical portrayal of a vampire. I enjoyed the hunting section towards the end the most, and the immersive spelling quirks (capitalization of nouns, 'vampyre') is a great touch. Overall, a brief, fun read. I'd love to read more 'monster hunting'-esque entries written in this style, particularly for more uncommon creatures.
I actually really enjoy this. It feels mystical and brings new things to a concept hundreds of years old which has been driven into the ground. I'm glad it was preserved and it deserves first entry on the site.
I really enjoyed reading this, I love reading about any sort of mythical creature, and this is very well written. Plus i really liked the twist at the end where we are hunting the vampires.
Great job keep it up.

Well, at the time of writing, it’s been almost a full year since I started reading from this site. And I think that this is the perfect introduction to the site as a whole. Happy Anniversary to the first story I ever read from this blessed little site.
I'm glad it was your first introduction :D
I love how I've been here for nearly a year and I haven't even tried to read the first one on the shelf. This is really good!
My entire life has boiled down to this moment. This keyboard. What I write to you now is my blood, shed for your amusement.
I'm extremely inactive on this site and due to that I can only judge this by how good of a read it was to me. I personally feel it achieves what it set out to do.
I can't write in a clinical tone to save my life and while I can stand to read it, it depends on how much detail the article dives into. I'm very picky when it writing like this, but you managed to describe the vampire enough to where I don't feel you are leaving out details you could have dived into and you didn't go into a monologue either that left me skimming half-way through your article. Congrats, you have satisfied my perfectionism. Applause from me.

Just a high schooler who thinks he is good at writing. Likes working on a lot of stuff, ranging from writing for the Backrooms Wiki, to providing critique, and reading. ~ Pen.
