>Chinese Vampires
Only in the loosest sense of the word. They're not vampires like the European ones popularized by Bram Stoker's Dracula. Whereas a vampire like Vlad Tepes III was said to be, a Jiangshi was more or less just a reanimated corpse in the Qing Dynasty.

They were also created differently since their entire existence is based on Daoism and the belief in the "hun" and "po" concept of the Soul. Each human has three "Hun" and seven "Po", and when they die the "Po" festers inside the corpse, eventually turning it into a Jiangshi if not stopped.

Now, the whole thing with the blood sucking is purely a method of convenience since blood is the most bountiful and quickest way for Qi to be transported across the body. But unlike the European vampire, a mature Jiangshi doesn't even have to touch you to get it. They've been shown in popular media to use hemomancy or suck it straight from their victim's skin pores, leading to a pretty graphic and painful death.

Succubus are also traditionally vampires since they absorb the life force of their victims through sexual contact (Or in the case of ManyEyedHydra's works, their semen after H-Space magic somehow makes their innards and somesuch converted into protein ala semen and they end up like a guy from the 1999 movie The Mummy). I mean, if you REALLY wanted to go so far, a Pharaoh using sunakinesis would be able to dessicate her enemies as well. After all, Vampires are just parasites who feast on life energy because they themselves are lifeless.

>I once thought about asking fellow writefags here, but I'm pretty sure the ones who would help probably won't.
Not to sound rude, but have you thought to give your balls a tug and ask you fucking pussy? There's literally four or five writefaggots in the /mgt/ discord who, outside of headpatting memeing and shitposting have nothing better to do with their time. Or you could just ask writefaggots here. But you'll literally never know the answer to the question if you never ask it. Hell, you could even end a post with your story's link in it with "Any feedback to help me git gud would be appreciated" and I'm certain people will actually have some feedback/advice of substance. Don't just come off as the thread never offering you help like that stupid faggot Shoggocks, because that's a quick way to get told 'fuck off' whenever you appear.

That being said, some general tips:

>Avoid said bookisms
This is basically the most important one. Purple prose is one thing in small doses, but pummeling it absolutely violet is revolting.

>LEARN YOUR PRONOUNS
Not so much a joke about idiotic gender studies as letting you know that if you do a same-sex scenario (i.e. Corruption or Yuri like a Liliraune) you're going to run into a problem of differentiating the characters without changing the PoV to 1st or using adjectives to tell them apart.

>Learn the lore and anatomy of the Monster Girl, but most importantly, the human body
You don't have to get overly scientific with it, but at least know the difference between the vulva and labia. Please. I'm begging you.

>Learn from both successful and unsuccessful writers, both popular and amateur like on 4chan
Published authors, especially people like Stephen King, got there by knowing grammatical rules and how to form sentences. You don't have to read him, but the more exposure you get to fiction the better. That way you at least have an idea of how to write stuff down and communicate it better.

For amateur writers, these are the ones I'd personally use ( From TFT, This place, /d/, and even Literotica ) to see how good stories can be written:

Beardicus (TFT)
Belgianon (/d/'s Erotic Fiction Thread; Formerly /tg/; Mileage will vary)
ELH (/mgt/)
Iron-Beast (TFT and /mgt/)
LDR (TFT; Formerly /mgt/)
Losenis (TFT and /mgt/)
ManyEyedHydra (Literotica; Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here)
MarshAlien (Literotica; Predominantly MILFs)
ParkedBuggy (RIP /mgt/)
Peterdnzl (/mgt/)
Snekguy (Same as Belgianon)
Tarrek (RIP /mgt/)
Thunderbrother (TFT and /mgt/)

Writers I'd say to avoid are as follows:

Bob (TFT; Formerly /mgt/)
Bollocks (RIP?; TFT and /mgt/)
Knuckles (MGE Wiki)
MachineAnon (LITERALLY AN ASSHOLE /mgt/)
NegaWalker (RIP /mgt/)
Sukiru Ikeda (TFT)

Those are just people I've read and therefore don't reflect the entire all-encompassing bit.

OKAY SO HOL' UP. THIS IS THE REAL DOWN LOW ON LOKI.

SO THE GODS OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY WANTED TO FORTIFY ASGARD, AND THIS GIANT SAID HE'D DO IT IN THREE SEASONS. BUT ONLY IF HE COULD MARRY FREYA FOR HIS REWARD AND GET THE SUN & MOON.

SO THIS FUCKER NEARLY FINISHES IT ON TIME, AND FREYA GOES TO ODIN AND SAYS "IF I MARRY THIS GUY, I'M FUCKING KILLING YOU", SO ODIN TELLS LOKI "IF SHE KILLS ME YOUR BITCH ASS IS NEXT"

THEN WHAT DOES THE LIE-SMITH DO? HE TURNS HIMSELF INTO A HORSE, NOT A MALE HORSE, MIND YOU. HE'S A REAL SEXUAL DEVIANT. THIS FUCKER TURNS INTO A MARE.

GIANT AND HIS HORSE ARE GOING THROUGH THE WOODS. HORSE SEES LOKI-MARE, CHASES AFTER HIM/HER. CATCHES UP TO LOKI-MARE. GIVES HER THE D FOR THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS.

BADA-BING-BADA-BOOM. SLEIPNIR IS BORN AND BOB'S YOUR UNCLE. EIGHT LEGGED HORSEPUSSY FOR EVERYBODY.
