Bite Me! is a now complete humorous webcomic/novel set during the French Revolution involving a group of vampires and a werewolf working together to save the rest of their coven. The cast include Claire, a humorously crazy bar wench with pro-Revolutionary sentiments; Lucien, an intellectual Friendly Neighborhood Vampire, Ginevra, a snooty aristocratic vampire who's pretty much The Baroness; Luther, a grumpy and cynical werewolf who is an old friend of Lucien (both characters appear somewhat differently in the webcomic Family Man); and Audric, the de facto leader of French vampires, who is a whimsical Bishonen described on the cast page as an Evil Overlord. Not to be confused with the web original series Bite Me- The Gamer's Zombie Apocalypse.
- Bilingual Backfire: Seen here, as Luther's habit of insulting people in High German backfires, when it turns out Claire (of all people) speaks the language.
- Book Ends: Vive la revolution!
- Fur Against Fang: Averted, since Luther is a good friend of some of the vampires. However, in terms of personal style/appearance, the comic plays the Slobs Versus Snobs of werewolves and vampires pretty straight.
- Hurricane of Euphemisms: For beheading, many of which are actually historical.
- Innocent Innuendo: Lucien uses his sword.
- Late Arrival Spoiler: Claire becomes a vampire pretty early into the comic. Also, reading Family Man after this kind of spoils that series. While that is Alternate Continuity, you'd know immediately that Lucien is a vampire and not just a guy who happens to be disliked by dogs and who avoids sunlight.
- Locked Into Strangeness: Supplies the page quote for that trope. Becoming a vampire made Lucien gain a Skunk Stripe and made Audric's hair turn completely white. Audric claims that pre-vampirization, Ginevra was a man, but he turns out to be just joking.
- Noodle Implements: Here, in which Claire lists the things she needs to create an instant riot and it's heavily suggested she's no stranger to doing this kind of thing. Don't forget the spoon.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Claire is a lot smarter than she looks.
- Our Vampires Are Different: They're Stoker vampires with all of the classic weaknesses and even lack some of the strengths (while they can do a Charm Person, it's not shown whether or not they have a shapeshifting abilities).
- Parody Sue: The reveal of Claire's backstory here probably makes her this.
- The Reveal Prompts Romance: Lucien's reaction to Claire's backstory seems to be this.
- Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness: While played for laughs, the vampires here are probably pretty low on the scale. They are explicitly described as/describe themselves as servants of Satan and need blood to survive (although they probably don't always need to kill victims).
- Vampires Are Rich: All of the vampires shown fit this except Claire, and even that's ultimately arguable. For those whose backstories are given, they were aristocrats before becoming vampires.
- Vampires Own Nightclubs: as seen here, Ginevra ultimately fits this in the present
- Where Are They Now? Epilogue
- White-Haired Pretty Boy: Audric
