I chose Atlantaya because I can’t draw architecture from my imagination for the life of me lol. This place is way cooler for me to draw personally, and even though it’s kind of a crummy sketch, I think you can tell how I imagined it when reading kapetria’s tale haha
Yep it was on FB. @kittyslover (one of my ARFB Deputies!) sent me the link to AR’s post from 9/24/16 [X], here’s confirmation that Armand is there:
And bc of the lengths I go to for you ppl, I read all the relevant comments and screencapped these for you (I cropped out icons so the text could be a little larger).
She also had to describe vampire shipping again. *sigh* I JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS FFS #your headcanon may vary.
Characters in PLROA:
– Old characters:
– Louis for sure:
–
New characters:
Hit the jump for more. Cut for length.
– in Great Peril:
– Amel is back:
– Viktor:
– Cyril:
NOT in PLROA:
She also answered these which didn’t fit above:
AND that this incorporated the older Atlantis novel she had been working on:
PRAYS TO GOD THAT ATLANTIS WILL BE TREATED AS A LOST CIVILIZATION AND NOT AS SOME UNDERWATER WORLD
ANNE SAID SHE WAS WRITING A BOOK ON ATLANTIS YEARS BACK WHEN SHE RELEASED WOLVES OF MIDWINTER.
SHE DIDN’T SAY IT WOULD CROSS OVER WITH VAMPIRE CHRONICLES.
HAVE U LEARNED NOTHING FROM UR LAST CROSSOVER ATTEMPT?
ok mermaids aside (no, I’m not going to stop with them, ya all gettin Armand-Ariel soon) I’m actually up for Anne babbling about lost ancient civilisations? I mean, it will be bad, it will be crack, it will be kitchy and completly over the top AND I’M 100% UP FOR THIS.
it will be Memnoch, it will be Servant of the Bones, it will be Lestat going on a spiritual journey to discover ancient vampires of Atlantis knowing the secrets of the Savage Garden. Amel was born there, he was not Egyptian to begin with. There are vampires older than Akasha.
Lord help us
PLROA Prediction: Princess Ariel herself will appear and claim to be a lost Mayfair bc #GINGER WITCHES FTW
… also Amel was the soul of Ariel’s dead mother so all the vampires are actually descendants of a dead mermaid and Amel was female all along #girl power
I was working on a novel called Born for Atlantis, and I just couldn’t get it to work. I thought, “What if I could somehow combine this with Lestat and the vampires?” And it was like, everything worked. Something happens to me when I write from Lestat’s point of view. There’s no question about it. By the time I was done, it felt inevitable, like it always had been…. It was a rare experience.
So, @roselioncourt brings this article to our attention, and I think the relevant quote is above, but there’s a little more about AR’s interest in Atlantis in there.
The relevance is that AR had been working on this Atlantis book and added VC into it later. We’ll see how well that works, but this is an answer to the question, “Atlantis… what?”
“Oh, I’m interested in exploring Atlantis. I’m working on a novel now—I was working on it before I broke off to do The Wolf Gift—and it’s called Born for Atlantis, and it’s about several immortals sent to the planet during the time of Atlantis and it tells the story of what happened. They’re now still alive in the modern age and they’re facing a crisis. I’m also working on something to do with aliens.”
Anne Rice
So I found this very WTF quote in an article from 2011, so maybe this project has been moved aside, or MAYBE THIS IS PART OF PRINCE LESTAT, either way, OMFG, had to share it.
