Howdy, thanks!
One thing that inspired me to write Modern!Vampire was the way I write metafiction itself - the characters treat their roles in fiction as day jobs, but their jobs are to act out their own roles inside their story, almost like a Reality TV documentary show. So the question is, what happens when a character reads the end result? I figured it might be something like an actor watching his own movie, and of course if the role was really bad, they might not like it. So that's where I got the ideas for those two clowns.
Since Modern!Vampire and FanFiction!Vampire are applied across a very, very wide spectrum of fiction, I left their descriptions intentionally vague, as well as left out the other characters' names to preserve the generic feeling of the characters and make it easier for the audience to insert or attach their own meanings to them. Definitely a stab at Twilight though!
Glad you liked it.
