Coming Among Us

We’re a free society for a free breed.

That being the case, the idea of formal membership into the Order of Maidenfear seems a little silly. You’re affiliated with Maidenfear by your own choice and your own acceptance. You don’t need to belong to an order, a house, a coven, or any kind of group to be a true vampire, and we recognize that. If you’d still like a kind of freelance participation, the Order of Maidenfear welcomes you.

Nice, but what do we have to offer folks who would prefer a more formal induction into the Order? We understand that people may value this kind of membership, and so we would like to extend the possibility to those of you who may be seeking a tighter kind of belonging. Hey, it’s all right. We all need different things.

Maidenfear membership is open to the vampire community online, vampires who like our ideas and philosophy and need to participate from a distance. Please note that online membership is in no way inferior to other Maidenfear positions.

But why join the Order of Maidenfear?

1) In joining us, you remain an individual. You are one vampire whole unto yourself who is part of a group without the group dictating your identity.

2) You can participate in some of the most progressive research projects in the vampire community.

3) You can create and propose your own theories and philosophies of vampirism which will become part of a greater body of vampire wisdom.

4) You will never need to worry whether you have done something wrong, as accidents are expected and any path explored is a contribution to wisdom.

5) No one will exalt themselves above you, nor will you ever need to feel inferior.

6) You will never be asked to do anything with which you feel uncomfortable.

7) YOU WILL RETAIN ALL OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF AN INDIVIDUAL WHILE ENJOYING THE BENEFITS OF BELONGING TO A GROUP OF LIKE MINDS.

Of course, you can have all this as an independent as well. Maidenfear offers a collective of like minds with a direction and a purpose. Ultimately, what we’re saying is that whether you formally join or occasionally contribute, we respect you as a vampire and value your participation.
