But is this even plagiarism of Terry Pratchett? Every reply seems to mention different books and that it’s not from them. Unless this is a quote from Terry Pratchett it isn’t plagiarism. Two pieces of media can be similar and not be plagiarism.
I’d start with either The Watch, or The Witches. Both are great, I’d avoid The Unseen University initially, his writing gets significantly better so the early books are harder to read.
The Watch subseries mentions vampires quite a lot, and is a really good read. IIRC, the fifth elephant and thud! Have them as more than just ‘extras’ and names mentioned.
While you can pick up most any discworld book as a first one, and have a good time, a lot of people recommend reading at least the sub series in order, the watch series starts with Guards! Guards! And is really enjoyable all the way through, and a great place to start your discworld journey.
This is just stolen from a Terry Prachett Novel.
And I would have not read it if it was not “stolen”.
Then credit the author. That way people who enjoy it can know where it came from and may wind up reading his books.
So, yes. It was “stolen” as in plagiarized, since it does not provide appropriate credit.

Not sure, but I was mostly outlining how dumb that person’s argument is.

Intellectual property is the fangs of IRL vampires, you know it’s true!
The author was plagiarized by copying the genes of two parents. Credit the parents.

Lmaoo
It was also stolen (referencing?) Tomska’s Let Me In sketch
Which one? I’ve been meaning to give his stuff a shot. Something like this sounds like a fun place to start
Carpe Jugulum has vampires who ‘reform’ and integrate into society (but I won’t spoil anything else)

Replied to wrong comment
I think it might be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Truth_(novel)
It was somerhing with the https://wiki.lspace.org/Ankh-Morpork_League_of_Temperance
I see Terry Pratchett, I upvote! GNU
Come on man. Bury the hatchet, with Terry Pratchet.
Its not really stolen from Discworld. I mean I could argue it was “stolen” from Myth-adventures as much as it was “stolen” from Discworld.
Pratchett takes the piss on a lot of ‘norms’.
Yes there is a vampire temperance league and there is a side character who is a vampire who talks like that, but it’s just background pretty much.
