We have, in our gracious graciousness, decided to extend the sign up deadline to Thursday, 12/3, at 11:59pm CST.
… We actually have enough people for a lively gift exchange, but we both decided moar gifts is always better 😉 I’m telling you, I’d be thrilled to receive a gift from any of the people who have signed up so far.
Once signed up, we will be arranging the givers/receivers and will send out assignments 12/6. Due date for gifts will be 12/23, 11:59PM CST.
If you’re unfamiliar with this exchange, this is the second annual virtual Secret Santa gift exchange for the entire Vampire Chronicles fandom. It works just like your ordinary Secret Santa, where each person is assigned someone they must gift to and remain anonymous towards until the final day of the exchange. The difference is, this exchange is entirely virtual, and thus requires no sharing of any physical addresses. All of the “gifts” are fanworks, be it writing, art, graphics, fanmixes, etc.
And feel free to reblog this post. The more people that join, the more awesome stuff we all get to enjoy on the 24th! Our turnout is looking awesome thus far. 🙂
As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are – what others say is irrelevant.
If anyone is interested, I’ll start taking commissions 🙂
RULES:
No more than 3 charas per drawing. You can ask me anyways if you´re very interested, but maybe I´ll charge more.
Backgrounds are free if you ask me for a very simple thing. Very complicated and detailed backgrounds will be charged as an aditional character,or even more.
Payments via Paypal ONLY. I won´t draw until I receive the payment. Payment should be sent in EUROS. Please,notify me with a note or an email when you send the payment.
NSFW is welcome . But I would charge +10€ for very explicit artwork. I won´t draw certain themes as: explicit shotacon/lolicon (pedophilia), rape, extreme violence, guro, furry, bestialism,etc… I won´t draw anything I might find offensive.
I won’t draw my own OCs in any case.
Commissions will be discussed vía email! Please send me an email tofuzzypinkmonster@gmail.com if you’re interested
Only digital commissions. You’ll receive the high res illustration, and the process sketches. You can take a look to my DA account to see old commissions and artwork. Thank you!
Taking commissions again because I really need the money U:_>
She seemed dimly fascinated by all of this, but it didn’t really matter to her. What mattered to her was what lay before her now. And when her death was finished, she was unstoppable. There was no wall that she could not climb, no door she wouldn’t enter, no rooftop terrain too steep. It was as if she did not believe that she would live forever; rather she thought she had been granted this one night of supernatural vitality and all things must be known and accomplished before death would come for her at dawn.
They gather together and be sociable! There’s an ugly sweater contest, just to irritate Lestat (it really does!). Daniel usually wins bc he is willing to spend hours hunting second-hand stores to find the VERY WORST, and most authentic, tacky holiday sweaters. In fact Louis lets him choose. Without fail, Lestat has to rush Louis home to tear off such an abomination.
#Your headcanon may vary on this, but Thanksgiving, being an American holiday, is probably ignored by most of the coven. Lestat has thrown feasts for small groups of gangsters bad guys, however, just to really enjoy drenching them in the finest alcohol so he can sample whatever’s in fashion. Sometimes Armand, Daniel, Marius, or others, join him in this.
Marius, too, throws feasts for mortals, but when he’s hosting, they’re as safe from him as the most of the Palazzo boys were; he loves the chance to argue things like politics and the current trends in cinema with collegiate people.
Xmas, too, may not be celebrated by all the vampires since most are secular in their beliefs, but they all like to do some measure of decorating for it. Lestat goes all out, with the biggest tree he can fit in the Rue Royale, layering it with ornaments and tons of tinsel (the poor cleaning crew are still finding bits of it 6 months later), and Louis has become very enamored with LED string lights. The fountain and plants in the courtyard is thoroughly threaded with lights in several pastel colors by December 1.
Awww, that’s so cute! Which island do you live on? If you don’t mind sharing.
(I admit it’s pretty cool living in New York, a place that’s often mentioned in VC. We even have St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Memnoch the Devil locations.)
(AND I AM GOING TO NEW ORLEANS THIS THURSDAY awww yisss. Such bragging.)
AS FOR YOUR QUESTION: Someone else may have the answer, but if I recall correctly, I don’t think the island is ever mentioned by name because Marius doesn’t want Lestat trying to follow him after being expelled for Doing The Thing. I did a quick scour of TVL and B&G and didn’t find anything more specific than this:
“And then as the 1700s commenced, I prepared to make a daring move to an island where I would rule supreme in the Aegean Sea, surrounded by mortals who would easily accept me as their lord, in a stone house which I had prepared for me by a host of mortal servants.”
“…I was on the terrace of this new house, gazing out at the sea and over the many small islands that surrounded me,” – Marius de Romanus, Blood and Gold
So it’s in the Aegean Sea, and it’s an island surrounded by many small islands.
Alonnisos seems to fit that description, although it isn’t SURROUNDED. It’s one of the few that has a bunch of islands around it in more than one direction. IDK what his definition of “small” is for an island, they all look pretty small to me.
There’s also Siros, which is also surrounded by a number of small islands and is, itself, in the Aegean Sea.
[X] Not that I tried to read it ok i cracked the spine and skimmed it a bit but that was the best I could do for the initial exposure, but Anne Rice has a werewolf series going now. It made that Wiki list above.
