In which I tell you what I'm going to tell you

The beauty of the internet is that it can bring many people from diverse backgrounds together, and let them celebrate or commiserate about some commonality. Sadly, this blog is oriented toward the latter.

The target audience of this blog is fellow vampires, or those who wish to know more about them. First, a vital clarification. When I speak of vampirism in the context of this blog, I am referring, not to the supernatural dashing rogues of fiction (I wish... except for the whole people-trying-to-kill-you thing), but to people who have a disorder which is a subset of pica, or something like such a disorder. Pica is the consumption of unusual items, frequently with no nutritional value. Vampirism is the consumption of blood. It's possible to be more-or-less okay with this, so long as the cravings are minimal, as I was for years. But, as of late, my not-quite-pica (I'll explain why what I have isn't exactly pica, in my estimation, later) has been acting up more and more. I decided that I needed a support group, to help me cope. Since I couldn't find one, I decided to make one myself.

I honestly don't know how many people this will help, but I figure it has to be better than nothing.
