Well, I was gonna do a rambly fanwank about Slayer's blood and vampires, but snickfic inspired me to open it up to a poll about vampire fanon. Thanks to her and stormwreath for suggestions.

There's lots of fanon about vampires in the Buffyverse. Some is based on canon. Some is not. Here's a poll on it.

Just a run down of the options. The first choice is "canon for all vampires". This means you think this trait/ability is available to every vampire in every circumstance or situation and that this is backed by something in the show.

There's also "canon but not for all vampires". This means you think that the trait/ability is available only to particular vampires (of a certain order or age, maybe) or in special situations, and that this is also backed by canon.

The third option is that it's "not canon but I accept it as true". This just means that, while there's no canon evidence for it, you take it as true in your interpretation of the Buffyverse vamps.

Then there's "no, not at all", which means to you, it's not canon, not true, and not a part of the Buffyverse mythology.

And then there's "Not sure/Other". For when you just can't decide.
