About Damien Daville
Greetings..
I am a 48 year old primarily empathic vampire now living near the Austin area of
Texas 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 it's 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 of 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. 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.

Question: Do you feel that revealing and teaching about your
vampirism online is easier than doing so in the offline world? In
your experience, is it difficult to find others near you who are
afflicted with vampirism?
Greetings..
I do much of my work in communities offline such as organizing
meetings, doing workshops and classes, and doing interviews with the
public. I have found that the face to face contact is much easier for
me to explain my vampirism and teach it to others as I have learned
it in the past thiry years. The online world is useful to bridge the
distance among people, but I have found that it is more difficult and
sometimes cumbersome to explain the subject to people from a keyboard
than the face to face experiences I have had where conversation can
flow smoothly especially with the contact you have with someone who
is in front of you. I have found the internet to be a great way to
find other people with real vampirism. This is why I started the
Organization of the Vampire Church and gave it an online presence.
The Vampire Church also works offline in a lot of ways through the work
I do offline. So the internet has helped me find real vampires near
me, especially through an Organization I founded called The Texas
Vampire Association, or TVA which helps people to find each other through the
internet and then helps network people for meetings in communities
where they live near each other.
Dark regards..
