Right now, the sentiment runs strongly throughout Hollywood (and, pretty much, the global entertainment industry at large) that vampires are the "it" thing.
With three major, popular vampire series in existence right now - that is Twilight, True Blood, and The Vampire Diaries - the fanbase communities for these series are vast and capable.
That capacity has been exhibited with Twilight fans, for instance, in response to the crisis in Haiti and with the Twilight Fandom Gives Back efforts for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.
So, for fans of the three series to join hands for a good cause, real progress is possible . . . and that's exactly what they're doing.
A new cross-community campaign has been initiated by fansite administrators for the three series entitled "Starve a Vampire, Give Blood."
The aim of this grouping is to encourage fans of the three series to collectivize between March 1st and March 14th to donate blood to the American Red Cross.
"If we all join forces, we can make this drive really count for people that need blood every day," says one participating site.
So, to participate, simply call your local American Red Cross (or, if you happen to be from Canada or another nation, your local blood donation venue) and set up an appointment on some of these dates.
Great to see fans working together for a great cause once again!
