Description
Took me about 4 hours, but I loooove how this one came out. Seriously.ok, the whole, 'Twilight is awsome' Bullshit has gone on looong enough, there are BETTER and COOLER vampires than Edward Cullens, and there are better vampire stories than Twilight (hell, any vampire book is better than the Twilight series in my opinion)
Here is my favorite character from a series I personally love.
It is the Darren Shan, Cirque Du Freak Saga, by auther Darren Shan (yeah, the auther has the same name as the main character, but the story is awsome)
I dont remember how Darren was described in the books (I havent read it for a while) but this is how I always pictured him.
Loved the series, and Darren Shan was a cool character.
The series itself had more character development in one book, than the whole Twilight saga did all together.
Plus, the characters were far more diverse, and more interesting, Vampires werent made into this 'God-like beauty' (in fact, a majority were described as ugly or plain) and it gave vampires a unique mortality that other authors didnt. It gave vampires a lifespan, meaning in this book, vampires are not immortal. They just have longer lifespans than humans.
I really loved how the twelve books in the series were fleshed out and how they were written, and the ending of the series? Probably one of the best ways I had ever read a book series end. It really left me fully satisfied.
For those curious, there is a man in the moon (mostly blocked by Darren tho'
For those curious, I intended 'the man in the moon' to be Desmond Tiny (Mr. Tiny, Des Tiny, ect)
Edit: Someone pointed out that it didnt seem like I refranced Mr. Crepsely in this. I actually did. Darren's red coat is Crepsley's (or at least, how I pictured it)
Long live REAL vampires!!!

It's a really great manga series if you're into a lot of blood and gore, plus, it makes other vampires look like complete push overs. Especially Edward.
Edward isn't a vampire by the way. He sparks, lives in a forest, and doesn't eat people. He's clearly a fairy.

Such a good series, i wish the movie had been better/more faithful to the books. I dont know if the next three book's in the series will be made into a movie which is a shame D: they deserve it more then twilight.

I have issues with Twilight that span sooooo long (if you troll the comments on here, you'll see a comment by a Twilight fan who only saw the movie for the Darren Shan saga who was pissed at me becouse I had a different opinion than them. Yeah.)

Sorry, I can't say I see it that way, granted, I only watched the movie. but oi! Darren Shan is very hard to like. He is a snivelling (male)damsel in distress that cries when he has to go away from his sister! Does this kid even have balls? Steve I liked. I thought Darren was a perfect example of a Gary Sue. Clearly this character is being forced on us as admirable. He has "good blood". I guess. So the vampire can't turn the passionate strong friend who likes vampires. He has the "bad blood". No he has to turn the big baby who likes spiders. Who even likes spiders? They aren't pets, and can't even tell one human from another. They just think we are big shadows. Also, this whole aging slowly and "very refreshing" sipping from humans thing just struck me as phony. Thats not a vampire. I guess a lot of people think sparkling is funny, but at least the vampires in Twilight aren't interested in teenage boys, and don't sip with their fingers. They act like vampires should. If you had a near eternity to spend with someone would you choose a beautiful young woman, who is dignified and strongwilled, or a teenaged boy who cries because his mommy isn't there? Im just saying, maybe if I was thirteen Id like Vampire Assistant. I do find it very childish.

You havent read the book series and you are complaining about my opinion?
Good luck with that, Person-Who-Looks-Like-Total-Ass-And-Is-Also-A-Dweeb.
Read the damn book series before you try to contradict my opinion which is BASED SOLEY ON THE BOOK SERIES.
People like you who only watch the movie and never read the book piss me off. Dont talk like you know everything about the series JUST becouse you watched the movie.
Seriously, the book is way better than the movie (Darren kicks ass in the book)
Until you read at LEAST the first book, dont make comments like that. Seriously.
Makes you look like a prick that doesnt know crap.
I refuse to watch the movie for the sole fact of what I've seen in the comercials (they fucked up EVERYTHING I saw in the comertials for the movie, so I wont even waste my money or my time seeing it)

Ill take a sparkly vampire over one that wants to hang out with a teenage boy, sips with his fingers, doesn't even have blood lust, and uses phrases like "very refreshing". Ugh. At least the Twilight vampires act like vampires should. If you were a guy and had near eternity who would you choose? Kristen Stewart, or this Little League drop out? Yup. Wanting a young boy to be around you, thats real normal.

Thanks. The Twilight series really pisses me off. They arent even vampires! (not in my mind) plus, the whole book series contradicted itself.
The Darren Shan saga is probably one of my favorite vampire series in the genre

But vampires that age slowly, and have cousins that are purple and call themselves vampaneeze, and sip with their fingers. Now thats MUCH less silly then sparkling. Yep.

angelofdeath234 In reply to Lollipop-fop [2009-10-25 06:09:23 +0000 UTC]
It is FAR more believable than the Twilight Saga (they werent 'cousins' though. It explained in the book that they were the exact same actually. The vampaneeze only got their coloration due to drinking their victims to death, where as the other vampires did not.)

exactly! ive never actually read the darren shan saga (nor heard of it) but it sounds interesting, for me my kind of vampire is the kind that loves to kill, drinks HUMAN blood, AND DO NOT GLITTER!!........ glittering is just to weird

Come on, the Twilight vampires look like they lost a fight to glitter for christ sakes! Who wants a, supposedly, straight guy who looks like a lost a fight with glitter? (I have a hard time believing some of the guys in this book are straight, execially Edward Cullen)
Edward and Bella's relationship is INCREDIBLY shallow (not to mention ABUSIVE) and Bella is as big a Mary Sue as you can friggin get!

I like the way you made Darren's eye peak out from his coat. Believe it or not, a random guy told me about the CDF series, and a year later I saw the series at Barns & Nobles and I thought "I don't really like books about the circus but why not?" Best decision of my life... seriously....
