Well, a common theme is the exploration of identity. In Vampire Diaries, the vampires are constantly trying to figure out who they are in relation to their human pasts and their vampiric natures. In Star Wars, characters like Anakin struggle with their identities as Jedi, Sith, or something in between. Love is also a theme. In Vampire Diaries, there are complex love triangles and relationships. In Star Wars, there are love stories too, like Han and Leia's. And there's the theme of destiny. Characters in both think they have a certain path they must follow, whether it's the vampires in Vampire Diaries or the Jedi in Star Wars.
One idea could be a vampire Sith Lord. Imagine a character who combines the dark powers of the Sith from Star Wars with the immortality and blood - sucking nature of a vampire from Vampire Diaries. Another could be a Jedi using their powers to protect a town from vampires, like how they protect the galaxy in Star Wars.
You can start by looking on fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own (AO3). It has a vast collection of fan - created stories, including those that combine elements from Star Wars and Vampire Diaries. Another option is FanFiction.net, which also has a large number of fanfictions in different categories.
Sure. One popular Vampire Diaries fanfiction is 'The Redemption of Damon Salvatore' which delves deep into Damon's character development in a new and interesting way. For Star Wars, 'The Jedi Apprentice's Secret' is quite good, it follows a young Jedi's journey full of mystery. Another Vampire Diaries one is 'Elena's New Path' where Elena makes some unexpected choices that change the whole story. There are many more out there, but these are a great start to explore the fanfiction world of these two great franchises.
One popular theme is alternative universes (AUs). For example, stories where the characters are in a modern - day high school but with a supernatural twist different from the show. Another is character relationships. Fans often explore different pairings, like Damon and Bonnie, which might not be as prominent in the original series. And there are also time - travel themed fanfics, where characters go back in time to change certain events in the Vampire Diaries timeline.
Goodreads also has a section for fanfiction sometimes. Although it's not as well - known for fanfiction as the other sites, it can still be a source. Look for groups related to The Vampire Diaries and see if anyone has recommended or shared fanfictions. Also, keep an eye on Reddit. There are subreddits dedicated to fanfiction in general and The Vampire Diaries specifically where people post and discuss their favorite stories.
Isolation is also a theme. Many Star Wars vampire fanfictions depict vampires as being outsiders, either because of their nature or because they are hunted. This is similar to how some characters in Star Wars, like the Wookiees on some planets, can be seen as different and isolated. The vampires' isolation can then drive the plot as they seek acceptance or try to dominate the galaxy to end their isolation.
Vampire Obi - Wan in fanfiction is a really creative concept. It combines two very different elements - the noble Jedi Obi - Wan and the often - dark and mysterious vampire. This could lead to some great stories where Obi - Wan has to hide his new identity from his fellow Jedi, fearing their reaction.
One possible plot in a vampire Obi - Wan Star Wars fanfiction could involve him struggling with his new nature while still trying to uphold the Jedi Code. He would have to deal with the thirst for blood, which could be seen as a parallel to the temptations that Jedi already face, like the dark side. Maybe he would try to find a way to use his vampire powers for good, protecting the galaxy in a different but equally important way.
Well, it depends. While some fanfiction can be really great for exploring more of the 'Vampire Diaries' universe, there's also a lot of poorly written stuff out there. But if you find good quality fanfiction, it can offer new perspectives on the characters and their relationships. For example, you might get to see different pairings or how a character would react in a completely different situation than in the show.
