About Damien Daville



Greetings..

I am a 49 year old primarily empathic vampire now living in Norfolk, Virginia in the States. I also like elemental sources, and am a sanguine vampire with the right donor. I first learned of my vampirism as a teen in high school around 1970, and have developed its needs and abilities ever since. I have worked in some way helping others understand real vampirism for about thirty years. I came to the internet about 1995 and worked online in the few vamp forums around. I founded the Darkfear Network in early 1997, and then the Vampire Church in 1998. I also founded Web Alliance. In 2001, I founded the Texas Vampire Association, to better bring real vampires together in the state of Texas. Then in 2003, I founded the MidAtlantic Vampire Association to do the same thing in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and in Delaware. I spend most of my time now, working in the offline vampire community and in the public, helping other people to understand real vampirism. The Vampire Church is active both online and offline.

Greetings..

Well, since I started the Vampire Church E-lists about five years ago, I have seen many come to our forums and many leave. As for the General E-list, I have seen it go from 0 to well over 1500 now with it continuing to grow. I have learned much from the diversity of people there over many years. I have found that I am now a better listener of people and their problems, and I take more time to be more open and non judgmental about differences. I have also found that due to the amount of growth of the Vampire Church, much of my time now goes to managing the programs and the website, and less time is available to answering questions and discussing topics that are on the General List. I never thought that would happen, but I have realized that I must depend on the help of others to take the time to answer questions as well as help with topic education.

As for the Vampire Associates List, I have enjoyed meeting and interacting with the real vampires there who have come along in my life. I better understand myself as time has gone on just from knowing the people here. The Vampire Church's Associates List is now at about 23 people and there is more of a bonding of people there who help each other with problems and understanding real vampirism. The sharing of experiences there has enriched my life and enabled me to help others. I have been influenced to help many who have come to me over the years that the Vampire Church Lists have been there to bring people together. Since much of my time goes to managing the Vampire Church, my time has become more limited with interacting with people on all the E-lists of the Vampire Church. Many who have come and gone have influenced how I look at people and react to the diversity of people, I am much more relaxed now with talking to people than I once was years ago, and maybe that is also due to my age and time working in the community.

Dark regards,
Damien Daville
