It is indeed pictures of her cat, Sugarplum. hahaha…
And other things, too. It’s kind of interesting tho, bc you get to see where she travels, and visit inside her house this way… she’s always made Lestat (and other characters) quite fond of sumptuous but tasteful interior design.
If L/L had a pet, I think a kitty like this one would be a good choice.

Does she do instagram? Send me the link, I didn’t find hers. She has twitter but it just feeds from/to her FB posts.
It’s weird, she has this role now at the helm of her divided fandom, both feared and adored. She has a kind of presence in social media now where she shares recs for things that interest her, and she speaks out for gay rights and other causes, which she really didn’t bother with before social media. She has these People of the Page who unconditionally adore her and everything she says/does, maybe that’s why she voices her opinion on things. She must have some idea of how fun fandom can be, bc I don’t think she needs to do it to sell books at this point!
…And then people on the other side of that, Off-Pagers (maybe there’s a better word for us) who are grateful for what she’s created, but also sort of afraid of her for the nuclear warheads of Legal Whoopass she broke out on us in the 90’s. That’s why everyone thought the VC fandom was dead; we weren’t, we were scattered and hiding our fanworks from her for a long time.
I went off on a little rant there, it’s not like I’m defending her at all, but she may see this blog someday, so I try to be diplomatic when I mention her. Fortunately for the whole VC fandom, it seems she’s less concerned about fanworks now, and even likes some fanart.
The vampire for me is a metaphor for the outsider, the outcast, the predator in all of us —- the lonely one, the heart and soul that feels immortal even when it knows that we all die. Vampire characters help me to talk about reality. They always have. When I’m with Lestat, and Armand and Louis, and Gabrielle, I’m in the real world. All colors blaze bright and music soars to Heaven and I’m not lonely for a while, I’m safe. And that’s why I write about them and through them and with them.

When she writes things like this I can’t help but love her somewhat (despite all the reasons not to), because when I/we read the VC, all colors blaze bright and music soars to Heaven and I’m not lonely for a while, I’m safe. And that’s why I read about them and through them and with them.
You know what I mean? She’s brought us together with this fantasy world, and if that isn’t magic in itself, to create a fandom and bring together friends (and lovers!) for life, or even temporarily, I don’t know what is.

This makes me so happy :’D
Marius is groaning about the idea of a Lestat vampire finishing school.
Omg. Making me think of “Murder 101” by the Wallflowers…
