For People Who Like A Bit Of Science With Their Vampires

[kidcyclone]

dwyld thought this deserved sharing- it's a population model of projected vampire feeding ratios and their effects on populations that I found when I was procrastinating doing research. Some ficcers may find the statistics come in handy for their writing. The question is, how much sparkle will be scattered about after Angel(us) and Spike get finished

I love it! There is, however, a fundamental flaw in the reasoning: many vampires feed without siring their victims in the Whedon model, on occasion in the Harris model and in what we may reasonably call the Modified Stoker Paradigm. (As developed by Hammer films, for example.) Thus the rate of vampire reproduction is significantly slower than suggested in the axioms. Another concern might be the rate of attrition of non-Slayer humans, most of whom seem unable to cope with an unexpected vampire attack

That is very entertaining. They obviously make a number of assumptions when deciding their constants, some of which I would have tweaked a bit differently, but there is no doubt it is an enjoyable read. Thank you for the link.
