Why is it that when couples make a new human life, it’s ‘beautiful’ and ‘miraculous,’ but when I make a new human life alone in my basement, it’s ‘a crime against nature’ and ‘morally abhorrent’?
Don’t we all? *blows kiss* You are welcome to all that I can provide here! Y’know, the “I” is meant to be for anyone who likes this blog, not just the fabulousness that is its mastermind, ~Mater Fabuloso~.
…Except Lestat. He doesn’t want any more of THAT version of the story, lol.
I totally understand your confusion, IIRC, it’s not explicitly stated in QOTD. Here’s the section heading in TVL that shows us the year for the concert:
“Lestat de Lioncourt In the year of his Resurrection 1984
Dionysus in San Francisco 1985″
The SF concert, 10/31/1985, was gonna be the first stop on the tour. Daniel is turned the night before that first concert. So there’s your info!
This is backed up by the fact that Daniel interviewed Louis sometime between 1973-5 (it was published in April of 1976), and then had a… well… let’s call it a ~long and drawn out courtship~ with Armand for some 10-12 years:
10 years ago: ”And what would a mortal lover matter then, a human who’d been no more than a toy for a decade?” -QOTD
12+ years ago: “…an old crumpled royalty check for the book Interview with the Vampire, which he had “written” under a pseudonym over twelve years ago.”
