SIGN THIS PETITION TO KEEP ROLEPLAY ALIVE.

TheSOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) bill has resurfaced and is once again trying to be passed.

The link attached will take you to a petition. Unless this petition reaches 100,000signatures by next week, this will happen:

  • All websites containing media that refers to or is owned by a company that hasn’t given its permission for the media to be displayed can and will be shut down. This means sites such as Tumblr, Wattpad, Pinterist, fanfiction.com.
  • People who post such media can and will be fined, with a maximum sentence of five years in prison. This includes, but is not limited to, people who own/post the following: fanfiction, fan art, roleplay blogs, fan blogs/accounts and movie streaming sites.

“The legislation would allow copyright holders and the Justice Department to seek court orders against websites associated with copyright infringement. SOPA, the House version, applies to both domestic and foreign websites, while PIPA targets foreign websites. If that court order is granted, the entire website would be taken down. Internet users who typed in the site’s URL address would receive an error message, and for all appearances, the site would never have existed. Importantly, the court does not need to hear a defense from the actual website before issuing its ruling. The entire website can be condemned without a trial or even a traditional court hearing.”

This is not a joke.
This is real.

We need 100,000 signatures by next week. Make one of them yours, or all these things that make you happy will disappear.

THIS ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES TO DO, I TIMED IT. 

Sorry to post smtg non-VC but it threatens i-want-my-iwtv! Don’t you love VC fanart/fanfic, and my VC memeythings? And RPers? Please help. I won’t beg for reblogging, but that’d be nice, too *u*

Don’t think “Oh, someone else will bother with this.” You’re the someone else 😦

92,214 signatures still needed after I signed it. 

Here’s a Lestat for a little demotivation. I won’t be able to share these anymore if SOPA passes *cries*

SIGN THIS PETITION TO KEEP ROLEPLAY ALIVE.

are fans already saying the new book won’t be so good?o: i don’t understand

Yeah, there’s worry out there bc of how she handled certain many all the characters in the last 5 VC books. I don’t want to spoil anything but… insanity happens.

We don’t have to accept it as canon, you know! Alot of the VC fandom doesn’t consider anything past #4 to be canon. What I’m most excited about is that it’s awakening the fandom, bringing fresh people in, and maybe getting the other books considered for film/graphic novel/etc. adaptation. 

merciful-death is taking one for the team, much praise, so grateful!

ooc; I am actually scouring Anne’s Facebook for all of her posts related to VC throughout the past year and a half or so because of this new book that I’m still very fearful of.

This fandom had better love me; I feel masochistic listening to her talking for an hour and then delving into her Facebook page.  I hope I come back with my sanity in tact and not like Lestat in Blood Canticle.  I’m such a martyr for VC fandom.  Wish me luck.

I LOVE U FOR THIS ♥u♥ Not that I didn’t before. But this… this is truly taking one for the team!! *bows before u*

OH, MY GOD. I’M RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED.

DITTO. There’s alot of mixed reactions out there but I waver between cautiously optimistic and ridiculously excited. Maybe I’m just easy to please and hard to disappoint. 

It can’t be as bad as the train wreck that was the movie of Queen of the Damned. It just can’t be. 

Also, if it’s bad by hardcore fan standards, at least it’s not poisoning the water for adaptations of the series in other mediums like QotD did.

Yes, good point. I would LOVE adaptations of the series in other mediums. Perhaps this will draw Hollywood’s attention back to the possibility of working the Dark Trick on TVL into a film or series.
