A Vampire AU is a type of Alternate Universe story, similar to the Elf AU, in which vampires exist (in the case of vampireless canons) or in which a non-vampiric character is recast as a vampire (regardless of whether vampires appear in canon).
Vampire AUs can appear in any fandom. For example, Vampire!Hobbit stories were popular enough in the Lord of the Rings fandom to get their own archive, Anklebiters!,[1] and Bandom had a plethora of fics based off of the music video for the Fall Out Boy song, A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me".
