Oh get the kids, didn’t you hear ? It’s Bon Jovi’s birthday today! 53! He’s getting over turning age too :(

♛*chews at knuckles dramatically* Are you TRYING to torment me??! Plucking
at my very heartstrings! So inconsiderate. You
KNOW how much I adore that man. That creature of magnificent beauty and talent.
He might be my very spirit animal. He’s also a darling in person. *sighs* You
don’t want to see my LENGTHY wishlist of musicians, actors, writers, composers,
etc. that I would scoop into my arms and protect from Death. Unfortunately, one
can’t “people the world with vampires,” rockstars or no.

Besides, claiming anyone in
this manner does not guarantee that they will be happy about it afterwards. The
procedure is still not an exact science, it can lead to a fate worse than death.

This reminds me of an opera
singer… it might have been La Divina (Maria Callas) who, I believe, retired
from professional performance at the height of her career for a number of
reasons, among which: that her audiences might remember her at her best. That
is something of a beautiful thing to have the courage to do.

Thanks for the forward.

Probably best to hang onto your soul.  Unless my Paypal account now takes those.  You can give it a try.  Otherwise, I think I just got inspired to create a Team Armand fanclub.  

You can get different stuff for different levels.  Like an autographed picture for the standard.  Deluxe can get you one of the many appliances he managed to fuck up throughout the years in limited edition quantities.  Premium you can nab both items plus attend a yearly dinner hosted by yours truly where he may or may not (probably not ever) show up.

If souls are now payable currency?  Hell you might earn yourself all those plus one of those really creepy body pillowcases with his picture on it for all your oddball purposes I probably don’t what to know anything about.

Should there be enough interest in this idea?

…You guys scare me more than I even wanna admit.  In a good…you guys are nuts but I love you anyway—way.

I think..  ha!

Lestat, sorry to burst your bubble, but Bruce Springsteen is now 65. Might be past turning age.

♛ Well time is running out, then! Each day that ticks by is one too many *begins searching for an agent contact for Springsteen for a private performance*

The Dark Gift does work wonders on people of a certain age, ma petite fleur. Mother Gabrielle was quite physically improved in at least one area that I devoted no small amount of description to… in color and shape and size, her “girls” improved! I could go on, of course, but you’ve seen her, you know her beauty is second to none. (ooc; paging viaticumforthemarquise <3)

I also find that older gentlemen bring something to the table that the bright-eyed and taut-fleshed of youth lack; these others have a sensual comfort in their own skin, a deeper rumbling in their voices, and more, earned through a lifetime of experience. 

I won’t go into the further romantic advantages in detail, but suffice it to say, David missed out on a grand-little-adventure-within-our-adventure. His loss, entirely, to deny sharing himself with me in that way. Fortunately, he has made it up to me, (and continues to do so) over time >;} (ooc; paging the-gentleman-chronicler <3)

Hello, I was recently searching for ️Louis/Lestat fanfiction and came across someone saying that Anne ordered that there be no VC Fanfics online and I was wondering if this was true or not. If so, when did she say this and is this still in effect? Also, I write VC fanfics on Wattpad and you can find me @thevampirechronicles (: Also, I freaking adore your blog!

Hellooo there, thank you for the compliment! Fanfic?? there’s no such thing as VC fanfic… pfffft. What are you crazy honestly??!

^Lestat is laughing bc he knows I is sarcastic.

In short, Anne Rice had waged war on VC fanfic in the mid-90s, sic’ing her lawyers on many fanfic writers, eventually breaking apart fanfic sites (“speculative fiction” or “spec” archives/communities) and driving many of these writers to stop writing altogether or do so in a more underground way.

Currently, she’s had conflicting stances on fanfic, but hasn’t made outright war at nearly that level. We try not to tag her in discussions of it, basically, we don’t try to provoke her by making our caches of VC fanfic known. Especially on Facebook, where she’s very active and might see it (and definitely don’t send her any links to fanfic!!)

There are a few fanfic sites where ppl have been writing freshly!!, one of my faves is Archive of Our Own (aka AO3). Lots of good things about that site, one of which is the ability to bookmark/download/comment/kudos fics. They also have a mission statement about protecting these fanworks from copyright infringement arguments.

I checked out your wattpad collection, didn’t have a chance to read any in full, but you’ve got unique ideas and crossovers. I’d suggest reposting to AO3, it seems to be a more heavily fan-trafficked site.

I love your blog! I was just wondering, what tips would you give someone who is just starting a yaoi side blog.
