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.

Hi! I was wondering if the deleted scenes of Interview with the vampire were available somewhere? I saw some pics and I’m dying to see it, if it’s even possible. Any pointers would be much appreciated!

The short answer is No. The long answer is Nooooooo. *frowny face*

There ARE, however, a few cut scene BITS like this one^ (and alternate takes) in the official trailer. I’ll try to gif them all out. But you can enjoy stills  I’ve collected of (and discussion about) cut scenes here.

So in this gif, Lestat is saying “-who never knew what life was-“ 

The line isn’t in any IWTV scripts I’ve seen online but in the trailer it’s: "You’re a vampire, who never knew what life was until it ran out in a red gush over your lips.”

BECAUSE in book!IWTV, Louis says to Lestat:

“ ’…It was only when I became a vampire that I respected for the first time all of life. I never saw a living, pulsing human being until I was a vampire; I never knew what life was until it ran out in a red gush over my lips, my hands!’ ”

Beginning of queen of the damned: ooh akasha is so cool After queen of the damned: -sobs, image shattered-

That’s fair. Hey iam-yourqueen, maybe you can field this one! 

What is coolness? Having Lestat as your hopelessly devoted personal boytoy would denote some level of cool, for sure, aside from the reason(s) WHY that is. Being able to fly, having pyrokineses, telekinesis, looking hot in vintage dresses, these are all pretty cool things!

Y’know, cool or not cool, I actually think Akasha is a really dynamic character. She was convinced in her own rightness all the way to the end. She couldn’t have any doubt in herself or her plan, one crack and the dam would burst. To admit she might be wrong would mean she was not a goddess. 

There are actual people like her (past/present/future) who try to take over the world “for the good of everyone.” But at what cost? 

do you have a post of iwtv rp characters on tumblr? id love to talk to a lestat :3

♛Lestat is here, happy to answer your asks, anonyme… be patient with time for response, as I am inaccessible during daylight hours.

ooc; Here are a bunch of other (more purely) Lestat RPers. Not playing favorites, just picking a few I can think of:

primusdux, gorgeous-fiend (on hiatus rn but fun to read anyway), leprinceinsolent, wolfkilling-prince, fiendofthedamned, from-fiction-into-legend, askthebratprince , monsieur-lestat , monsieur-le-rockstar, lestattheonetruepope (this one is not very active but hilarious).

Some VC RPers had put a tumblr together for that awhile back and unfortunately it’s sort of fallen out of use, but I think it’s still a good starting out point:

http://vcdirectory.tumblr.com/directory

Check these tags of mine, they have RPers in them.

  • #for rpers
  • #RP
  • #bump

I would make a masterpost of RPers but A) RPers do go inactive or change their URL, B) I wouldn’t want anyone to feel left out, in case I missed someone.

Once you find some RPers you like, check to see if they have Follow Forever tags, like this one, it usually makes a handy (tho possibly out of date) list there, too!

“How do you feel about the afterlife?”

merciful-death:

I don’t know.

Is there an afterlife?  I once thought near constantly of this subject.  Do those that I kill ascend to a heaven, or am I completely eradicating them from any semblance of existence?

Is there a hell, or perhaps might hell be on Earth?  If it were so, would that not make immortality a punishment?  It seemed fitting to me at one time, anyhow’ that feeling that my life might very well be hell, and some devil was at work prompting an endless cycle of death that I undoubtedly enjoyed, yet loathed that I did.

I became content, however, in the thought that there existed no higher beings, and everything that is simply “is.”  The appearances of Claudia’s apparition—if it was she that Jesse Reeves encountered in the first place—shook that belief that had given me a semblance of peace for years.  Yes, of course, if Claudia could appear as a spirit, that would mean there is, in fact, an “afterlife.”

Lestat claims to have seen God and the devil.  Perhaps he did.  Perhaps he was merely deranged.

I don’t know, and I suspect I never will.
