I don’t know if you are the one to ask but do you know if there are any ff of Lestat, Louis (and possibly the rest) reading ff about themselves? Because it would bee too meta and I love meta. Who should I ask if not you?

Ahhh… that is a tough one! They definitely like the fanart of themselves.

[^X Digging up an oldie from the archive which I have tidied up a little for ya and I would just like to mention that the above was screencapped from the ACTUAL TV screen so there is interlacing and whatever I don’t care it adds to the charm, oui/oui? but HEY it motivated me to improve my graphic skills for y’all and I DID]

The only writer that immediately comes to mind is our very own fandom treasure @gairid, who has a Through the 4th Wall, Darkly series which does something in the vein (pun intended hehehe) of what you’re looking for, feels meta. It’s mostly the characters discussing Lestat’s ghostwriter: “Really, Lestat, you need to have a talk with her. It’s getting out of hand. What sort of biographer makes everything up without the slightest regard to the truth?” *giggles*

Gonna open this up to the group and ask anyone to reblog or comment on this post if they know of fic that does this!

Cut for length.


There is another current writer I know of who does more of what you’re looking for on a regular basis BUT she doesn’t post publicly ;A; I will try to nudge her onto AO3 in your honor ;] To be honest, the interaction of the VC characters w/ fanfic of themselves is usually described as their being amused and/or creeped out, as most ppl who find out about RPF of themselves seem to be.

Lestat would be hella flattered and in fact…. he has written really shmoopy fluff of himself and Louis, which he has not-so-subtly tried to get Louis to read. Louis reads it and makes grammatical corrections and hands it back. Secretly, he’s very touched.

Louis loves the fanart but is mildly creeped out by the fandom’s fanfic of himself, partly bc he thinks the writers spend too much time glorifying his appearance, and/or he’s written out of character.

Louis: “Why do they all think I’m sunk in this, this deep depression all the time? I… do things… I go out.” 

Lestat: “How much of the evening do you spend outside if I don’t drag you out?” 

Louis: “Well, I have to go out to feed.”

Lestat: “And that takes, what, 30 or 40 minutes?”

Louis: “Yes, about.”

Lestat: “So you go out, on average, 35 minutes a night.”

Louis: “Depression is not defined by the lack of amount of time spent outside!”

Lestat: –

Louis: –

Lestat: –

Louis: “Shut up.”
