Following True Blood characters on Twitter

If you are a fan of HBO’s series True Blood like I am, you probably have been missing the show since the first season ended in November.

Well, I’ve been following the True Blood characters on Twitter — including Bill the vampire, Sookie, Sam, Eric, Tara, LaFayette, Arlene and even new vampire Jessica.

Please note these are not the real actors and are not affiliated with HBO in any way, but a group who has chosen to act in character so we, the fans, "feel" like we are right there in Bon Temps, Louisana, waiting to be served a good meal at Merlotte’s.

On Twitter, you can only have messages that are 140 characters or less, so the notes between the characters are pretty short.

In fact, most of the messages revolve around Merlotte’s as if you were right there in the restaurant watching all of the characters interact.

Sookie is taking drink orders, LaFayette is making "no AIDS’ burgers. Sam is worried, as usual about Sookie. Bill is his normal polite self. The Eric on Twitter heavily flirts with Sookie. It’s almost like fan fiction.

If you have a Twitter acccount, you can interact with the characters as they will "talk back to you" a little.

My handle on Twitter is Newtotvblogger if you want to follow me as well.
