[Bottom photo] the opening page of actual published novel The Blood Vivicanti by Becket and Anne Rice
what fresh un-edited hell is this
omfg amazon: [Becket] has been working for Ms. Rice since 2005, and he has spent that time
learning from her the craft of writing. He is also the author of “Key
the Steampunk Vampire Girl and the Dungeon of Despair.” h elp i’m fucking wheezing what IS THIS SHIT
THANK U FOR SHARING THIS COMPARISON OMG i’m speechless. #A heartbreaking work of staggering genius.
DUDE I brainstormed alot, my blog was inspired by vampchronfic and vampire-chronicles-appreciation, so I wanted VC represented in the url prominently. I realized that “VC” rhymes w/ the “I want my MTV” slogan that MTV had in the 90s (and 80s), but “I-want-my-VC” didn’t quite flow right. “IWTV” had a better letter combination and here is a gif of the versions of my logo bc of reasons

2. What is your middle name?
DANGER. No. It’s *~Dorothy~*
3. If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?
I probly can’t get away with “vampire” for this one, since they probably make terrible pets… Cat-sized unicorn. Not very rational here, I should choose like the Golden Goose for infinite money, shouldn’t I? Okay, Golden Goose.
4. Favorite color? Depends on my mooooood but iridescence always catches my eye, especially in oily rain puddles.
Vampire Chronicles is my enduring addiction. Getting into the Avengers somewhat. Other than that, Real Life.
7. Why do you love tumblr? Fanworks and meta and such and so.
8. Tag your tumblr crushes! They answer the questions too.
I don’t wanna play favorites/crushes! I’m gonna tag some lovely people I’ve seen (or haven’t seen!) in my activity feed (this is a small sample; I appreciate you all! You keep my crazy blog alive!)(in NO particular order, and these are not necessarily even following me):
I find a vampire book in the library and of course it opens right up to Lestat.
NICE FIND.
Lestat should really be on the cover I mean like between Lestat and the Lost Boys’ David, which vampire wrote 9 books chronicling his ENTIRE life story, misadventures, and shared a unique vampire origin story? Among other things?
// that scene where Lestat lunges at Louie from off screen and starts to drink from him cracks me up because it reminds me so much of the R.O.U.S.’s scene from the Princess Bride hahaha
2nd draft: 4/1992 (I know I mentioned it before but for those who missed it)
Aaaaand this one is a wonderful fan-made painstakingly transcribed comparison script of what made it into the final cut of the movie vs. what was in the book vs. the script. (This person is on tumblr now and if they want me to credit them, I’ll be happy to do so, just respecting their privacy if they don’t.)
This person even has images from cut scenes like this one:
