When I was sixteen or so (a few years before Twilight came out) I wrote A FEMINIST VAMPIRE STORY. (Not its actual title.) There was this woman, and she marries an estate agent and has a kid, and then she finds out that her husband is a vampire (and all estate agents are.) Then there’s some general kefuffle involving her cousin Annie and a part-time werewolf (long story) and my girl saves the day, her husband and her kid and at the end opts not to become a vampire because…well, she doesn’t want to. Everyone lives happily ever after, and the part-time werewolf gives up being a werewolf and marries Annie. IT WAS (semi-)AWESOME. But if I wrote it now it’d just be considered a rip-off of Twilight. :(
