do you ever read a fic that is so much better than the actual canon that you get angry

Welcome to the Vampire Chronicles fandom, my friends.

…yes…

I have a tag mentioning fanfic that’s more about fanfic than actually sharing links because we don’t want CERTAIN PEOPLE knowing where the fanfic is because those people like to sue fanfic authors and so it’s generally frowned upon to share links to fanfic, unless you are the author.

HOWEVER, an exception to this is AO3. Great IWTV and VC fanfic. AUs and crossovers! Ao3 defends their authors on real legal grounds, so… that’s a start.

More can be found elsewhere… if you can earn the trust of people who know where it is 😉

How do you feel about the possibility going around about Robert Downy Jr. playing Lestat?

^That sorta sums up my feeling on the matter! But actually, I/we had a whole discussion about that almost a year ago omg how time flies bc apparently RDJ was AR’s pick for Lestat in 2010. Article here.

Thinking about it now, since you ASKED, I feel like RDJ is too old to play Lestat, don’t you think? Lestat’s supposed to be about 21. And built a little differently – lean, mean, hunting machine with maybe a *little* softness from 6 months of fine Parisienne bread and wine, and less exercise. 

However! I would love RDJ in another role. Maybe as the Marquis de Lioncourt? Or Raglan James (who’s supposed to be much older, but whatever). Maybe as Memnoch the Devil in his “everyman” appearance. 

Side note: Don’t RDJ and Louis look adorable together? Louis/Tony slash anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

A tool to use for find Synonyms: Synonym Finder.

This is a great, unique little tool I found by browsing for writing resources. It’s name speaks for itself: it’s a synonym finder.

The site is clean cut, has soothing colors, and to-the point results for any word you look up.

For example, when I look up the word “romance,” I get this:

Synonyms: romance, romanticism
Definition: an exciting and mysterious quality (as of a heroic time or adventure)

Hypernyms: quality
Definition: an essential and distinguishing attribute of something or someone
Usage: the quality of mercy is not strained—Shakespeare”

I had no idea what a “hypernym” is. Apparently it’s a word with a more general meaning that a more specific word fall under. Like, color is a hypernym for green.

On the right corner there’s a button to make graphs! So you can trace each synonym from it’s root word, and see how far the other synonyms connect in comparison to others.

I really like it, so I’m going to definitely bookmark it on my writing tools list.
