Really. This could solve a lot of problems I am having with an Urban Fantasy story I want to write. Right after I figure out how to start my fantasy novel. Ugg! I know the plot, I just don't know how to start it. The first book is all about stetting up for the rest of the series, so there's a lot of boring exposition I need to get through. The question is how to do it in the most natural way, and least painful way, possible.

[@timmeyer9191]

Unfortunately, the number 1 genre of novels is romance (thanks Nicholas Sparks🙄), followed by mystery. Tying your urban fantasy in with the elements of a romance novel is a sure fire way to hook those romance readers who still want romance but want it told in a new way. Who cares if it lessens fans of traditional urban fantasy in the genre. Like the Western, romance can lose its innovation and it's ability to evolve. But if writers of romance suddenly put their story in the setting of another genre, eyeballs take notice. You now have something to market to teens and hook another generation of romance readers. And don't get me started on what the fifty shades series was trying to tape into.

You actually forgot about the part where the main character bumps into a guy who tells her about the secret world that her parents had been hiding from her for her entire life for no reason except 'we wanted to protect you because we knew you are the chosen one so NOT training you seemed like the best thing to do.'. She then of course falls in love with that guy. By the end of the first book she finds out, that they are actually probably siblings (extra points for plot twist if the villain also happens to be part of their family). Still want to make them falling in love? No big deal: Someone can just tell them that they got lied to and actually aren't related at all. You can repeat this as many times as you want.

[@floatsyourgoats6200]

It can also be bonus points to have the guy who tells the hero they are the chosen one and trains them to be the actual villain at the plot twist ending. That way during the final battle he can have that cliche…I mean classic line of: "I've taught you everything you know. I know every move you're going to make even before you do. But I haven't shown and taught you everything I know. Now witness what true power looks like!" Then have the bad guy get some upgrades like he's a final boss in a video game.

The weak and oppressed humans beat the crap off of the vampires by random powers humanity has just discovered from nowhere and by the most powerfull weapons in every story where humans face an non-human thread, the legendary will,ingeniosity,friendship and virtue of mankind because It's impossible in the vast universe or the infinity of imagination to have an other race with those valors. In the end, humans show vampires how they're awesome by eradicated them all instead of finding peace between their kinds with diplomaty because we know It's for gays. Make sure too to make vampires all irredeemable. It's know everything who challenge mankind is pure evil to the core. Make them ugly and old because goodness come only from beauty and youthness. And the most important thing, make them all male or unisex! Because anything with boobs cannot be unlikeable. .....except if those vampires will join humanity cause. You can make them pretty and charismatic but at least one of them must be a female. And be sure to put the other ugly old vampires behind the group to not see them even if they join humans because....they're still ugly.

The biggest problem with adding magic to the real world is unless it has some generic insta-death spell, or lightning magic actually obeys what we know about lightning , all of offensive magic like fireballs are inherently weaker tools than guns, meaning that it would probably degrade into something to amuse the masses and/or illusionary or other support spells would grow in importance in combat roles since we haven't invented perfect stealth systems yet, and we're still trying to invent endurance and strength augmenters. Or we don't need to worry about that, nor our obsessive consumerism which should probably result in the mass production of regulated masses where offensive spells are a political hot topic like guns are, and political and religious movements against the employment of magic, or if magic is a select trait, we don't need to rewrite history where our arcane overlords ruled like the economically powerful did in our world and therefore have long past famous historical movements for the mundane/profane/[insert silly sounding and utterly illogical sounding name to describe non-magical people here] But that sounds too much like work so let's disregard all of those little bits of actual reality that should go in but are remarkably absent in everything I've seen

[@andreydoronin6995]

Actually, the "plot hole" that vampires haven't conquered the whole world can be explained (depending on the setting) by the biological rule of ecological pyramid. Simply put, the overall mass of specific organisms is much smaller (most of the time) than the overall mass of organisms they feed on. So, in no way the whole mass of predators would be larger than that of herbivores and the mass of herbivores would not be larger than the mass of plantlife. Applying that to setting with vampires, their population is hugely limited by their food - us. So, it would be more probable for vampires to become a ruling minority in a similar way to how it worked in the Aztec empire or the Apartheid South Africa OR they can rule from the shadows.

[@Macey88]

Wait wait this is all wrong... Your main character has too much personality.

That's why they use others people's blood. Still, any biologist would a real field trip if they tried dissecting one of these guys.

Vampires consume blood because it's their food source. Just eating doesn't give you muscle mass, does it? No, so it wouldn't with them, either. If anything, they'd look like patients who have edema: really swollen, to the point that it becomes difficult to move around. Goodbye hunk and hello balloon-man!

I just love how this video really slams the Twilight Saga for basically every single flaw the books had. I always couldn't help but wonder why the vampires in the Twilight Saga didn't take over; since they literally had nothing keeping them from doing so. I mean; the Volturi were the ones that made sure that didn't happen, sure, but it doesn't make sense why the Volturi didn't take over, themselves. They could have easily conquered the human race and raised them like cattle. They even could have convinced other vampires that it was for the best; given mankind's self-destructive nature. But no; they choose to keep the world from being conquered by vampires. Probably for morality's sake, if nothing else. I honestly can't think of any other reason why the Volturi wouldn't take over the world. And then there was the fact that Bella was a total Mary Sue when it came to becoming a vampire. I mean; upon becoming a vampire; all her human flaws simply vanished, she was incredibly powerful as a newborn vampire, and despite being new to the thirst; she was able to resist hunting humans as though she had at least a century's worth of resistance training. The first two details were kinda par for the course when it comes to Twilight Saga vampires; since all newborn Twilight Saga vampires are powerful and lose their human flaws, but being able to resist the scent of human blood; despite being new to having vampire instincts; it just doesn't make sense no matter how much I think about it.
