Fangs, fangs, everywhere. Will vampire fever ever simmer down? Did anyone see the good/evil switcheroo on The Vampire Diaries tonight? (Don’t do it Stefan!!!) Just when you think you know a blood-sucker… Attention fans of the L.J. Smith books: how does the show stack up? Is it a good adaptation?

Now that we’ve been completely inundated with vampy goodness, I wonder who everyone’s favourite characters/books/movies/shows are… One of  the many versions of Dracula since Bram Stoker’s original? Vlad the Impaler (Stoker’s inspiration)? Irma Vep? House of Night? The Hunger? Lestat? Vampire Academy? Vampireology? The Vampire Diaries? Marked? Buffy/Angel? Nosferatu? Vampire Hunter D? Twilight? The Lost Boys? Fright Night? Or…you know…this guy:

Ah, friends. Where would we be without them? And where would some of our favourite books be without them? From Frodo and Sam to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, fiction is filled with wonderful, inspiring friendships.

Over at the Whimsical Fic-ery blog, they’re talking about platonic boy/girl friendships in YA fiction.

likesbooks.com has posted a book list that might interest the romantics among you: ‘Friends in Romance’ (naww).

Penguin’s Vampire Academy site features some nifty wallpapers and widgets of besties Rose and Lissa here.

And…speaking of friends, you can join us over @ the MDP group on Goodreads here.

So which are your favourite literary pals? Which fictitious friendships have inspired and delighted you? Do any parallel your own?
