“And why should the people listen to YOU?” – Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Well, know that I’d been following your VC blog before I decided to return to tumblr this year. And apart from all these wonderful things you do for this Fandom (Us, People off the Page), what I so much love about this blog is your absolutely fantastic sense of humour with which you approach the VC!!! Happy Birthday, You Creature of Wonder!
!ohmahfrickittyfrackettyharpsichords, I’m so touched, you hit me Right in the Feels in such a very good way! *attack hugs*
It continues to be mutually beneficial, as I have had to learn how to do new things in order to do them for THIS BLOG, like making gifs, and it’s also made me question my own ideas about the characters, and get to know all these people I never would have interacted with if not for our fandom, and so much more <3<3<3 Dare I say that it’s a huge part of my life? That’s probably obvious ^_______^
WAYYYYY back when I started this thing, I was afraid that I was offending our fandom with my sense of humor, as can be seen in one of my early memeythings:
Yeah, it is applicable to her situation gdi Claudia stop eating all your handlers or so help me but it was also my concern whether anyone thought I was being just offensive and not funny at all… clearly the People Off the Page (I love that you used my word for us, too, btw) convinced me that they really enjoy my brand of silly and now I go alot farther, still with the intention of keeping it tasteful (PUN INTENDED):
(Sometimes when I get an idea for one of these things I actually make myself laugh just thinking about it until I can get home to make it)
The Importance of Sex in the Vampire Chronicles
…just a personal observation based on the years (1997-2006) of experience in the field of reading….the online vc fanfiction… 😉
… although the author’s approach has changed a little in this department, no? Vide: Prince Lestat
All my Fandom is here….
Out of boredom, and as usual the seasonal outburst of my deep affection and sentiment for the Vampire Chronicles, I decided to give it a second go and ferret about in the tumblr world.
And apparently, all my fandom is there. And by “mine”, I mean the heretics who simply said “hell no” to “Mater’s” a) church and god preaching, b) The threatening of her own fans (at that time mostly teens!) because of fanfiction, c) her new literary directions so far as her own characters are concerned. And, of course, there are more…bu oh well…The force is strong with this Fandom.
Yes, it is!
^ duendology’s ReadMore is an accurate description of what happened to the VC fandom to split between People of the Page and as I like to call ourselves ’People OFF the Page,’ but really, it’s just the actual real VC fandom. I don’t include People of the Page as being in the fandom, they’re usually the worst at remembering/understanding/spelling the most basic names/events/etc. from canon ffs.
Tumblr is not really the best platform in terms of fandom discussion, but yeah, watch the RPers and ask them questions, you might find very good headcanons about the characters you might not have considered otherwise. You’ll find AU characters like female!Lestat queenofthesavagegarden! You’ll find fanfic (many really good VC fanfic writers have posted their stuff on AO3 and they mention it here). The VC fanart (I put a link to my tag for it, follow the artists you like there!) is here and it’s thriving. There are artists who even take commission for VC fanart.
To not feel like you’re standing on a highway with so much going by, you have to realize that in Tumblr, THAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN. Let it go. You can’t see/read everything that goes by. It’s okay to miss things.
Your tumblr experience is yours to make, tho, so if you feel lonely, reach out, contact people, and the ones who respond may turn out to be your best friends ❤

if you haven’t seen it already, you should definitely watch “The Vintner’s Luck”. He plays a strange angel there who has a particular interest in…wine and wine maker as well.
OuO thank you! Added to my list.
Edit: atsumistress: Don’t watch the vintner’s luck – read it!!!! The film completely altered the plot and missed out the most important part! It is a fantastic story!
Noted!
