Hi! So when I get obsessed with something, instead of trying to get my friends to read or watch it, I just tell them the whole plot. And with all the weird different time lines and stuff it’s kinda hard to explain vc, do you know if someone maybe made a timeline with all the events in order or something?

Hey! I’m really enjoying your VC fanart. Keep it up! 

So, spoiling ppl with plot points, that’s one way to drag fresh blood into a new fandom ;D I know I love being spoiled, I want the plot points before I read a book, so if your friends want that info… I have a few timelines, Idk if any are the definitive one, try my #timeline tag.

One timeline AR published is in the Vampire Companion, but it’s not up to date, but it’s through books 1-5 and you might still be able to find it online or on Amazon or somewhere else.

I like being spoiled a lot of the time because it gives me a chance to mentally and emotionally prepare for what might be coming. It also lets me get right in there with appreciating the bits of foreshadowing and seeing how the gears of the plot are turning.

I agree, @audacityinblack, that’s very well-put re: it also lets me get right in there with appreciating the bits of foreshadowing and seeing how the gears of the plot are turning. For me, it’s not as much about the plot points as how a story is told, and so I get something different out of the story every time I go through it. 

But I have to know in advance who dies! I’ve always skipped ahead for that.

I get why ppl would NOT want to be spoiled, too. I don’t personally think either approach is better, just different strokes for different folks.

Oh BTW, @42sunberries, I forgot to add, I have a silly tag for VC plot points, it’s #always reblog vc synopsis which has such gems as:
