However, most writers tend to favor only one side, or choose not to include the other species. If they are included, it's almost always on a "Good & Evil" basis. Or, war basis if anything.

I think it would make an interesting challenege to see other writers come up with a piece about a relationship between two creatures of the different species. It doesn't have to be romantic of course.

Any "Middle Ground" relationship would take time, unless both parties were friendly beforehand.

Wouldn't be too halloweenish though, would it? Or Supernaturalish either.

Just pure Drama and storytelling.

But then again, you could twist in a few events to make it truly supernatural.

I could see a "middle ground" being they just exist together...i dont think they'd like each other very much, but they allow each other to continue living...for what reasons i dont know...maybe to keep the humans in check.

Just a bit of rambling for you all :)

Has there never been a movie were Vampires and Werewolves are just good friends and not on one side or another? I've seen one or two fanfictions were there is an all powerful child that is half Vampire and half Werewolf, but that seems a little odd. To me.

I am more partial to Vampires, but I think most people are. That is purely because they have gotten more publicity. Also, Vampires are nowadays seen as highly sexual creatures. When Nosferatu came out, he was seen as hideous, with long nails and rat like teeth. Now they are seen as smooth talking, smooth walking beings. They mostly have black hair, liquid black eyes, and an impeccable european accent. Werewolves, on the other hand, haven't changed much. They are, I think, still seen as uncivilized, hairy, violent, and despicable. Which they really aren't except on the full moon.

I'd be interested to see what you come up with in terms of a Vampire/Werewolf relationship. I'd like to be notified when it comes out. So now I've put in my two cents (which deviate a bit), and mainly, I say YES to a Vampire and Werewolf relationshi.

Sadly, up until recently werwolves have been pretty ugly. I haven't seen an appealing looking werewolf until Van Helsing or Underworld Evolution. Have you noticed that before these movies they looked more like rats?

As for the relationship between the two. I believe that a half-vampy/half-wolfy hybrid sounds very cliche, even if its rarely done. A long with the romeo and juliet cliche, it kind of makes me sick. Why can't they be on the same side? What was the reason that they were against each other in the first place? I'm writing a fiction about a (gonnabe) werewolf whose close friend happens to be (also gonnabe) vampire.

I say yeah to the Wolf/Vamp relationship, platonic or romantic, I agree with both.

My vampires are often similarly pathetic as well, suffering from old folkloric tics and issues, such as having to travel around with graveyard dirt or a condition similar to severe OCD where they will randomly have to count things (this actually is based in folklore). I also deal with the myths say vampires are heretics or excommunicates who can't find rest and who really would like to die but can't unless they're forgiven by the Church.

That's how I avoid conflicts between werewolves and vampires. The two don't have to be enemies if you change the context and the background rather than going with the Hollywood versions. My weranimals are too busy trying to figure out smells and reach a higher state of consciousness to fight with vampires and my vampires are too busy twitching and counting pennies and pipe-bombing monastaries to really worry about each other.

Another way to look at things is another peek at the animal kingdom mainly that of the pecking order. Yes vamps and were-thingies are both predators but think of it this way - both require different parts of the human body to survive, so you could have a simbyotic relationship where they coexist taking turns eating from the meals? Or am I just whacked here.

"No. I'm trying to say the world is gray area."

They aren't enemies. There are no natural enemies. All are a victim of their environment, but we have a choice. A good idea would to have a werewolf that was adopted at a very early age by a neutral family of vampires. Change the environment, change the symptoms.

In my story 'The Awakening' the vampires and werewolves (as well as other supernatural creatures) must work together to overcome the war with the Silencer and the humans. The most of them don't like each other, but they are able to put that aside for a while.
