I would watch Alan as a fearsome little vampire girl. I'm sure he could pull it off easily.

I think the thing about human blood is that when someone is turned, the blood that was already in their body just becomes vampire sustenance. So it's like they've already drained a full-grown human, and they start out with that boost.

Oh man, Breaking Dawn is messed up. It has the most gruesome birthing scene I've ever read. I can't wait to see how they translate those parts to the screen. I hope it's gorey as hell.
