Canon…and Fanon • Josef Kostan keeps a “harem” of freshies at his house, on call day and night. All of whom are (with few exceptions) devoted to him, personally. • Mick St. John swore off freshies around the time he rescued the child Beth Turner from his ex-wife, Coraline, in 1985. • Freshies are young, beautiful, and generally kept as pets for a few years, then dismissed. • There are clubs where vampires and freshies, or potential freshies, hang out to make connections.

• In addition, there agencies, much like escort services, where vampires can call and arrange for freshies. Freshies who are employed by the agencies view the arrangement as work, and receive excellent pay and benefits for their willing blood donations. • Some freshies are freelance (the fanon term is 100% freshie), more interested in the “bite” than anything else, but some are exclusively contracted to a particular vampire. • While some vampires are not averse to having intimate relations with their freshies, for the most part, the vampires do not have sex with their freshies.
