Letās brace ourselves, folks. This one is gonna be a bumpy ride. Iāve already read enough about Tomās moaning as Jonathan Harker in this 2012 radio play from BBC.
Oh, this is going to be FUN.
Already pre ordered, canāt wait for tomorrow š
Do I know anyone who has ordered this??? Iām on the fence about it! I disliked the style of Dracula but itās David Suchet and Tom Hiddleston, soā¦ Please help! š
Author’s name is SirGhirahim and it’s on AE3. Please dont answer to the previous ask because I dont want the author to see my opinion and feel sad or unadequete in writing. If you have anything to say please say it by this ask. I love your blog <3
(Thanks for the love for my blarg!)
(^Iām using this pic again in less than a week bc why not? its coolĀ In case anyone else wants to take a stab at it, this is the scissor fic anon asked me about: Alternate Versions of Lestat’s Piano Scene)
So I think I did read this one before, itās vaguely familiar, I must have blocked it out. There is a time and a place for scary fic like this, and some ppl wonāt be able to handle it at all, others might be at least impressed at the plot points.Ā
The anon wanted my opinion on it and my opinion is not to censor fic, no matter how scary.Ā
Beyond that, I donāt want to critique it, the author didnāt ask me to beta it. Anon, if you have ideas on how to improve it, you could write your own scissor fic! This writer is not the first to use them as a weapon.Ā
Same anon here! Okay, thanks for the answer! Guess I’ll read them patiently in order then ;–)
De rien!
On a little further reflection, you can skip: *possible spoilers under the cut*
Pandora – Is mostly about Pandora, and Marius, and their relationship. Pandoraās not really in PL much and their relationship doesnāt have much to do with how Marius is in PL.
Vittorio – This is technically not a VC book, and he has a different origin story and is not part of the VC vampire group.
Blackwood Farm – This is mostly a story told to Lestat and heās not very invested in it, I donāt think many (any?) of the new characters introduced in this book make any more than a mention or brief appearance in PL. It is also fairly cracky.
Blood Canticle – AR said that PL deviates from canon in that it does not include the hybrid VC/Mayfair Witches stuff, but I think she meant this book specifically, which has Rowan Mayfair, who does not appear at all in PL. It is also very cracky.
Where is that pic you posted for the vampire body hair ask from?
[Anon refers to this post] I donāt remember! I donāt remember where I get some of my stuff. Sometimes ppl randomly send it to me w/o a source, and sometimes itās stuff that was hosted on a website thatās since been taken down. Iāve been collecting it for 20 yrs and didnāt really think about sourcing back when it was only for my own personal collection.
Itās not like I have a password to a super secret online archive and Iām only leaking out little bits to you! Well, I do still have my own personal collection, but I post the things that are worth sharing.
Hopefully weāll get this kind of stuff for sale or handed to us w/ the new adaptation(s), since thatās a more common thing to do these days!
Most often, Iāll be digging around the interwebs looking for a better quality version of a production still and land on a dead forum, in another language, with a bunch of pics posted, and Iāll go into a userās account there and find another gallery of their collectionā¦ I get lost down the wormhole for a few hours that way, and sometimes find nothing new, sometimes I find smtg I havenāt seen before.
Thatās one of the majorly frustrating things about this fandom, a huge difference for us vs. more recent fandoms, is that the more recent fandoms often get a lot of great behind-the-scenes vids, info and pics. The ppl behind movie!IWTV didnāt give us much in terms of behind-the-scenes extras on the VHS, DVD, or BR releases, and we didnāt get a gorgeous illustrated book like the Crimson Peak fandom got š¦
I think the combination of intense secrecy they needed before & during filming (so as not to spoil anyone), plus after the movie came out, the fact that it had so many societal taboos in itā¦. it pushed the envelope for its time and everyone was quick to make fun of it. Maybe the producers doubted that anyone would want behind-the-scenes materials. Ā
I donāt remember it being as common for all movies at that time, anyway, to share behind-the-scenes stuff. Getting a big behind-the-scenes treatment was more for movies like Titanic or Star Wars.
we-called-it-our-conversation:
Some VC Advertising for you and your blog, in connection to our yesterdayās conversation.
This here is all your doing.
No regrets.
This means SO MUCH to me ā¤ I love it when my blog inspires ppl to buy/read/watch more VC. Filed under:Ā #Free VC Advertising/ #VC Free AdvertisingĀ Ā You guys, new tag for this: #my shelfie. I want to see your VC section on your bookshelves. Tell me if this blog (or any other!) inspired you to add to it *u*
Seeing the series all lined up like that, itās like seeing old friends, in such spiffy new covers, no less! Lestat would be impressed that theyāre all in such good condition.
– Hey Raph –Ā
My friend shared this joke with me the other day and I couldnāt resist xā-)Ā
I really loved Interview With The Vampire, but can I enjoy it as a stand alone book? Are there other stand alone books in the series? I’m really busy and don’t exactly have the time to read 12 books. Should I just read the first three? I need advice help
You can enjoy IWTV as a stand-alone book! You can do whatever you want! Itās your life.Ā
However, The Vampire Lestat is a response to that story, itās all the things Lestat wanted to tell Louis but couldnāt, and it only really mentions IWTV briefly. TVL is almost a standalone book but it ends on a cliffhanger, so it makes you want to go on to the next one. And the next, and the next, so thatās sort of why I read all of them.Ā
I would always recommend reading at least the first 3 bc those are generally, fandom-wide, considered the best.
12 books is not that many when you have a lifetime to read them. Iāve re-read all of them except Vittorio (only 1x for him), so theyāre more like 36+ books for me. I read them for different things when I re-read them. People read the Bible over and over and look for different things in it.
Just about any of the books could be stand-alones, you can pick based on which characters you like best. The Vampire Armand could be a stand-alone book, he goes deeper into his story, which he gave in previous books. Some books give a different perspective on previous events in the series (what we call theĀ āunreliable narratorā).
Most stand-aloney:
The Vampire Armand
Blackwood FarmĀ
Prince LestatĀ
PandoraĀ
Vittorio the Vampire
