I started reading the Vampire Chronicles and I’m at The Queen of the Damned but I’m wondering if I should stop there? Or should I read on? I don’t to want get caught up with the ‘crackyness’ later on, you know?

You started with The Queen of the Damned, or with Interview with the Vampire? Definitely read the first 3 books in the series, those are are good. 

The “crackyness” that we make fun of it for sort of happens at book 4, Tale of the Body Thief, which is still a great story (especially compared to the later books)…

I think you should read it all. Especially if there are certain characters you’re beginning to feel more of an attachment to. If you love Armand, for example, you should read The Vampire Armand. If you love Marius, reading Blood & Gold would be of interest to you. 

I think any VC fan should read them all, read lots of fanfic, and decide on their own what they consider to be “the real story.” Your headcanon may vary from mine, but that doesn’t make you a lesser/greater fan. You can ignore the crackyness.

Loving the characters makes you a fan *u*

i-want-my-iwtv: YES they smooched in the new book.

EDIT: CORRECTION: That quote was from Tale of the Body Thief. But you know those two idiots kissed in Prince Lestat, whether explicitly written or not, bc of reasons.

Wow, I’m glad I’m not the only one with mixed feelings on Prince Lestat. It was better than Blood Canticle, but I am disappointed that there was so much exposition and that previous characters like Bianca and Eleni got over shadowed in favor of new characters. And we are not even starting on how my favorites died or how mad I am at the lack of Daniel/Armand

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. NOTHING TO ADD OR CORRECT HERE. 

to be honest most of the time reading PL i thought ‘anne i KNOW that already’. I’m only half way through but the constant talk about who is related to whom and the explaining of things is so tiering. All I wanted is to read a new exciting story about our beloved but instead theres all this boring talk and new-old characters i don’t frigging care about. UGH

Yeah I know that feel, Anon… at the booksigning, AR said that this book is meant to also serve as a stand-alone for ppl who are just starting the series. Hence the constant talk about relationships and the handy glossary and index of characters and so on and so forth but still….

I would NOT recc PL to anyone as the start of the series bc it has such a very warped view of EVERYTHING. For one thing, Lestat actually writes:

“So much of what I thought about us, our minds, our souls, our moral evolution or devolution, was just wrong in the books I wrote.”

NO. He was NOT wrong about ALOT of that stuff. The Lestat of Prince Lestat, so far, is way more wrong about so very much. 

I just wanted to reiterate to all the VC rp’ers and everyone else in the fandom, thank you for believing in and rescuing the characters from the questionable canon!

You’re right, we really need to be strong together in the face of this new book, thank u for reminding all the RPers that their writing keeps these characters alive and safe. 

Hey! I loved you prince Lestat fan gifs and I was wondering if you could post them but just till the part where Louis says “I don’t read trash” and Lestat is trying to holding together..I mean you don’t have to do it but I’ll really loved to ❤

Sure thang, I aim to please! [As requested] I’m curious to know who might have asked for this… 

Everyone has permission to repost my gifs/memeythings, whatever, as long as it’s reposted in good taste, but I’d love to be messaged or hyperlink-tagged so I can see where my fanwork has gone *u* 

You also sorta made me think about revising this one so it would loop better, which I did, so thanks for that 😉 It actually works as a stand-alone: is he repressing tears of sadness, joy, something else? Lestat loves crying after all. There Will probably Be a ton of L. de Lioncourt Blood tears in Prince Lestat (see what I did there??).
