The NWF is one of many organizations working to provide Gulf oil spill relief and Vampire Support has launched its first online auction of vampire merchandise to help raise much-needed funds.

Some of the items up for bid: autographed photos of Michael Trevino and Charley Bewley (Twilight), autographed unofficial companions/guides to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Bood, and Vampire Diaries, a slew of Vampire Diaries merch (including t-shirts and limited edition bags), and a Vampire Diaries poster autographed by Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder.

Watch for more items to be posted as Vampire Support is staggering what they post to keep interest high. Head over to eBay right now to start bidding for this invaluable cause! We wanna see some HIGH NUMBERS over there.

According to HitFix, The Vampire Diaries is holding steady in the ratings, averaging an audience of 4.21 million viewers for last night’s episode. TV By the Numbers has the half-hour breakdowns.

UPDATE: CW press release, via TV By the Numbers – The CW’s Vampire Diaries sinks its teeth into first place among young women.

The CW’s freshman smash THE VAMPIRE DIARIES won the 8:00-9:00p.m. time period among women 18-34 (3.1/9), females 12-34 (2.8/9) and female teens (2.1/8), according to preliminary live plus same day Nielsen ratings for Thursday, Nov. 5, 2009. VAMPIRE DIARIES ranked second in adults 18-34 (2.3/7) and persons 12-34 (2.1/7), just 0.1 behind #1 CBS in both demos.

Just So You Know interviews Zach Roerig about the show’s success, whether Vicki’s fate is truly open-ended (or way final), and the minor panics that come with each new script (laughed so hard):

JSYK: Congrats on the show’s success. It just got picked up for a full season?

Zach: Yep, a full 22. Now I just have to hope I don’t get killed off before then.

JSYK: Do you think that is a possibility?

Zach: You never know. Every time I read that script and it says, “Matt enters the room and Damon follows” I’m like, ‘Oh my God…’

 
And finally, a big shout-out to fellow (mega!) fansite, True-Blood.net, who asked Vampire-Diaries.net to contribute to their True Blood-hiatus column, What To Watch. Guess what’s featured? Read what they (and we) have to say about The Vampire Diaries and stake your claim on a chance to win some cool Vampire Diaries goodies! Big thanks to Mel and Liz for asking us to participate (we’re fans of True Blood, too, so it was our pleasure).
