Why are may vampire novels set in New Orleans? what made it such a haven for the undead?

there s a simple answer to that question thorn. as i see it there is no normal. if normal is like one person the rest of the world is wierd. If normal is a certain group then that too means that the rest of the world is weird. People say the word normal when they should problably say not the same as me. normal is a unatainable system of nothingness that some people spend there lives trying to reach and inevitably die trying wishlesshollow www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/think.gif[/IMG] *well that is what i see it as anyway*

while there have been many stories involving vampires and new orleans, you cannot argue there has been more still about New York and large cities such as that... as well as Paris.

I am always hearing my friends say stuff like "I wish I was more normal" ...or... "why cant I be normal like everyone else" .. I keep trying to tell them that there is no such thing as normal because no one is the same.. normal is just a perception that we have of people we dont completely know.. because how can you know what goes on in someone elses life unless you are there living it.. There are people who are more out there than I am and so maybe I would be considered normal by them.. ? This is why I try not to judge people on how they look or what they do because what is normal or abnormal to me is totally different to what someone else thinks is normal or abnormal...

Well, I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is only an hour away from New Orleans. New orleans has many superstition and cases of the weird of what people have said. New Orleans has the most hauntd houses that i have known of. I lived there once. When I lived there I ventured out alot. It made me very curious of what was out there. I'm just makin a comment of what I have seen when I have lived there. That was before I even wanted to become a vampire. I saw or heard things and when my family found out they got scared and had me and them moved out. I don't know what scared htem so much..but I love the streets or New orleans. Just putting out my comments. Hate & Love, Toni
