Actually, I think getting together for drinks and doing a dramatic reading would be perfect.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I am digging the LHotP thread.
Me too! Hey, I bet I could get them from my library for my Nook. Lemme check.

WHAT. Just ... what. NO.
That's it. Everyone out of the vampire genre. No one gets to write vampire books without me approving them first. t /still waiting to ascend and become Vampire Witch Queen of the Universe

Yes, everyone seems to have jumped on the "supernatural romance" bandwagon. Although some are jumping onto the "steampunk" bandwagon, with similar results.
And they get so ... creative ... with the names.

I wish I had kept a list of all the horrible names we got in submissions. Drakko was a big favorite. Cinnamon Sienna.
But if you checked half the paranormal and/or erotic self-pubbed romance out there, you could make your own list.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The endorsement by Patricia Briggs makes me want to give the book the benefit of the doubt, but it does sound pretty bad.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Vampires and zombies have gotten way out of hand. Ninety percent of the young adult aisle at Target is occupied by vampire series.
I would vote to put Jilli in charge. I'd also vote that vampires must meet at least some classical definitions, such as 1) Unconscious during the day 2) Can be killed by a stake to the heart, beheading and sunshine 3) Must carry their native earth with them 4) Don't sparkle 5) Are Evil.
Deviations from these standards should require an explanation, such as gypsy curse.
