Hey Burnadette, do you or your followers know of any fanfic featuring Petronia? She’s such a great character that the other night I found myself considering re-reading Blackwood Farm just to spend more time with her, and that was a bad book that did badly by her. Sigh. I’d appreciate any pointers!

Petronia is a great character! That would be a good reason for a BF reread.

I haven’t seen any fic featuring her, myself, so I’ll throw this out to the fandom.

BTW thanks for that Hannibal/Lestat crossover fic link! It’s gr9!

specialized bindings with spikes in the interior to spill blood of drained vampires if they tried to feed and rejuvenate. Has anyone thought of that yet.

EDIT: obsessional-ram​ added: Yes I am sick, lestat. But I dont use these ideas to hurt ppl so give me a gold star. And Armand dont be getting new ideas im not thinking about a cactus roller. And being human is hard enough being undead prob sux harder by fifty times fifty

I haven’t seen anything like that in canon, or fic, or discussion… there are body parts detached/reattached in the series, though. Who knows what kinds of torture the Children of Darkness subjected those vampires that were being punished, other than simple solitary confinement? 

Vampires feel pain like no other creature. You have a pretty unique and gruesome idea there, obsessional-ram. Write us some horrific fic!

Desperate Measures

vagabonddaniel:

[This is a ficlet thing requested by i-want-my-iwtv based on my post here. It got a little longer than I expected. It’s Daniel and Armand fighting over giving him the blood. It’s about 1,200 words.]

By my thirtieth birthday, Night Island had started to feel more like a tomb than a palace. Thirty isn’t old, but you have to remember, I was living with a vampire who didn’t age. He’d died at seventeen and could pass, maybe, for twenty-three on a good night when he was dressed in sharp clothes and cut his hair short.

And yet I was spending more time in front of the mirror, plucking tiny gray hairs from my head. I was losing my stamina: staying up all night started to cost me in ways Armand could never have understood. My body ached in strange places. Recovery from whirlwind travel or a massive drunk took longer and longer. Tiny lines etched themselves across my face. The gap between our appearances widened.

Oooh! Will sneakily read this during work patiently wait till after work to read this read it sporadically during work ANYWAY!!!

~*~ VC Family Tree ~*~

VC Fandom request: Can someone make a new Family Tree based on the info from Prince Lestat? I’m 40% into that thing and Holy hell there’s a lot of family tree info!

I have this one from ages ago:

It’s useful for fic and such… If we are to believe any of the PL stuff is canon… We can pick and choooose.

I agree that there are too many new characters BUT it does open up the canon for fresh pairings and stories… and the RP/fanart/fanfic that goes with that.

Reading fanfiction is the worst because you start out with “I’ll just read this cute one shot” then suddenly it’s four am and you have 12 tabs open and you’re crying again because THEY DESERVE TO BE HAPPY WHY CANT THEY JUST BE HAPPY

This is nothing…in our fandom you have to wade through mountains of crap only to be once again let down. That’s why we write it ourselves—-at least sooner or later the myriad ‘ships unite on some level.

^PREACH.
