Yet, we’ve experienced it again, and again, no matter how hard we try to ignore it. This thing is there, it’s real, and it’s affecting our lives significantly.Read More »
Cautionary Measures in Donor-Sang Relationships
While the process of “hunting” for a new donor can be both daunting and exciting, there are several cautionary measures that should be taken by both Seeking Sang and Delicious Donor (said Lovingly, of course.)
Syrf Chase: A Tribute
Syrf Chase, a good friend of mine and writer for this site, passed away at the end of May. This may not be news to some at this point.

I first came across the Online Vampire Community in 1999, while researching the Therian and Otherkin communities as a child.

The Red Cellar – An Introduction
I would like to introduce and welcome everyone to The Red Cellar. The Red Cellar is a sister site to Sanguinarians.com. The Red Cellar’s focus will be practical advice for sanguinarians. The topics can range from the technical aspects of blood collection, social dynamics with donors, and strategy for engagement with members of the medical community among other things. This site will allow for more creative freedom in writing, whereas our sister site has sharpened its focus on the latest in medical speculation. You can still find the latest in medical speculation and personal reports with the scientific community at http://www.sanguinarians.com.
A place for those who enjoy a nice, dark place for a vintage red.
A Sanguinarian Treatise: An Argument For Partition From The Vampire Community
By CJ!
As the long-awaited (by all nine of you) sequel to “A Sanguinarian Treatise” is now in review stage, I felt it was appropriate to repost and reintroduce the original for those to reconsider after a few years of life experience as well for those who have yet to read it. “A Sanguinarian Treatise” was written in late 2009 and made public in 2011. I hope to see respectful debate and lively engagement with the piece.
Sanguinarianism and Me
By Alexia
Our experiences differ. Our condition means something different to each of us. I figured one of my first posts should be to share mine. All experiences and opinions below are mine, and mine alone.
