Yes, I know, I know. Two posts on vampires in one day?! What is wrong with me?
Well, I thought I’d share I Heart Vampires, stylised as I < 3 Vampires, with you.
I discovered it many years ago by accident, but thought ‘why not?’
It was created by Take180, but I can’t seem to find out whether they’re still going – somehow I think not.
Essentially, it was a weekly web show consisting of short videos of roughly 4-8 minutes, where the viewers had to ‘tell’ the cast what to do next. Nothing like a show that gets the viewers involved, hey?
I’ll throw you a carrot though, so bear with me.
The show starts with two friends who LOVE vampires. They run their own fan site, a.k.a. vlog. When the chapters of the latest Confessions of a High School Vampire are sent to Corbin and Luci, Corbin decides it’s a good idea to post them on her vlog – by the way, NOT a good idea. The author then announces that she will not be finishing the book, so Corbin and Luci set out to find her and apologise in the hope that she’ll finish the book.
The show consists of two seasons, as well as a couple of side videos of other cast members.

I actually still enjoyed watching the series over again after so many years. It’s a shame that it didn’t last longer though…
The acting wasn’t too shabby either, it felt like ‘real people’ in a weird situation.
Have a watch. What do you think?
Perhaps I should start up a web series myself, as a writer and all, I’ve got that covered…
