I found this article on Elenari.net an otherkin website having mostly to do with Elenari elves.

On Elves and Vampires
by Ashran
I have seen a few examples of people who are at their core elven, but by all outward signs, patterns, and behaviour appear as blood vampire. In essence, unless you were very good at picking up on people's core pattern or could just recognize elves, you'd never pick them out of a vampiric lineup.
The one case that I know the full history of and the little I have learned of the others has led me to the following theory: When an elf violently denies their own nature, and especially their aspect as a Lifegiver, their energetic system can turn in on itself, and create an identical drawing energetic pattern to that of a vampire. Which, by the path of least resistance, leads to the vampire's solutions to the problem and !Voila! you have an elf trapped into the vampiric cycle of incarnation for as long as their energetic system remains out of whack.
One of the key defining traits of an elven energetic system is a constant life-force 'leak' into the environment around them. Turned on its head, this almost perfectly matches the same life-force 'suck' to be found within all vampires. It has seemed to me that one of the Laws of Being Fae is that it is comparitively easy for the fae to step across the mirror and became their reflection. The change from the Seelie into the Unseelie is far more than a change of mood, but it is deceptively easy for many of us. In my experience, pixies and satyrs all too easily become the most depressed and moribund of us all. And many dragons I have known progress through distinct periods of effortless wisdom and power to periods of ridiculous self-aggrandizing delusions and dramas. ("I created the astral plane. No, I didn't help. *I* did it.")
We have always been creatures of extremes, but here it seems these extremes are often in conflict with each other. (I have often wondered if it is a symptom of the world we're in. As if somehow, this world acts as a mirror in which we find many of these distorted flip-side reflections.) From this perspective, it would only make sense if an elf were capable of taking on his reflection as a vampire. It would also make sense out of a few things. Like the almost always intense feelings between the two races, be it love, love/hate, fascination, etc. And why elven blood specifically is so intoxicating to vampires, far above even those who have as much or more life-energy within their blood, such as dragons.

This caught my eye because I have known for a few years that I am otherkin (but not elenari), but recently I have been questioning whether I am a psi vampire. This article seems to present a logical explaination, but I don't really know what to think, never having known any otherkin in person, aside from myself.
As far as the last part about elven blood being more intoxicating, I don't know about that, since I don't drink blood and I don'tknow whether my blood is any different from any one elses. But that is not really the issue at hand.
What are your thoughts on this?
