What a roller coaster ride! If you would have come to me a few months ago and told me that I would be part of a world wide phenomenon discovering that vampires are real AND they want to come out of hiding to be part of our world then I would have told you to seek counseling immediately.

But that’s exactly what did happen and I almost can’t believe it myself. It all started with those strange markings that began to show up around the world, Roger and I immediately jumped in and began Bloodcopy.com as a place to gather and sort all the rumors. And before we could blink an eye we had helped to uncover a secret that humanity never really wanted to know: That vampires walk among us.

Roger and I are proud to have been a part of that but we couldn’t have done it without your help. You folks picked up the baton and ran with it becoming our investigative reporters and spies and helping to uncover all the amazing and frightening details of this life-changing event.

When this all began vampires were just the stuff of legends. But now they have introduced themselves to the world, fought for the same rights as all of you and are “living” among us. It’s crazy to think that you can buy synthetic blood at the local store (not sure why you would want to) and then turn on the tv and see vampires on the nightly news standing next to famous politicians. This story is gonna keep going but I feel like my part and Rogers part has run its course. The more we talk about it the more we are realizing that there must be other mysteries (and other creatures) out there and we want to be the first to find them!

As you know we have already turned over our forums to the HBO site for safekeeping and beginning next week all of BloodCopy will go to HBO’s site. Those guys seem really in tune with all the strangeness that is happening here in Bon Temps so we feel confident they’ll take care of you guys and keep you up to date.

I would just like to say thank you to all of you who have joined us on this amazing journey. Keep an eye out for us on the road as we look for the next world-altering event to cover.

Andrew & Roger

BloodCopy scored this exclusive and quite frankly scary interview with Bon Temps first genuine vampire. We caught up with “Bill” at Merlotte’s bar, which seems to be a hub of activity more and more these days.

I would have thought that actually meeting a vampire wouldn’t be such a big deal after following the saga from the very beginning but I was dead wrong. I was stumbling all over myself and wondering why the heck I thought this was such a great idea. Anyway here he is . . . Bon Temps very first vampire, Bill Compton.

 

We took a camera around Bon Temps again and asked some more of our neighbors their views on vampires - that is, when we could get them to stop gossiping, er, speculating about who is moving into the old Compton place. Small time life is so exciting sometimes.

Anyway, here’s Tara Thornton and Maxine Fortenberry on vampires in Bon Temps:

 

Guess they’ll be moving into their Armageddon Fortress sooner than planned.
