Senpai!!! IS IT TRUE THAT THEY ARE MAKING A REMAKE WITH JARED LETO AS LESTAT??!!! should we accept this?? what do you think??

WE DON’T KNOW WHO IS CAST AS LESTAT YET THAT IS STILL SPECULATION, MY FANGED LITTLE TRASH KITTEN.

Josh Boone (who is adapting TVL & he intends to do two more after that) tweeted about that back in May of 2016* but there has been no confirmation or denial from Leto or anyone else about it. So it’s ~speculation~

It was just announced that Leto is in Blade Runner 2, so he’ll probly be all tied up w/ that and not in stepping into Lestat’s boots and red-velvet cape!:

“Leto will join Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, and Ana de Armas when Blade Runner 2 hits theaters October 6th, 2017.” [X]

*Although I may have acted somewhat excited about it a few months ago (and I don’t want to edit the post bc that’s a time capsule as to how I felt then), currently I don’t want a Leto!Lestat bc of the accusations against Leto, which you can google yourself bc I’m NOT going there. True or false, we don’t need that kind of baggage in our fandom, and there are PILES of younger actors out there who can play Lestat bc Boone wants this to be a trilogy w/ TV spinoffs and we need someone who can play 20 or 21 yrs old for a long time, and Leto altho he does not look like it is 44 yrs old.

U SWEET THING LET ME LOVE U!

I’ll be sure not to break the chain <3<3<3

No one can take away from me the mental image of Lestat at his own wedding dancing w/ Louis and singing along with the choir boys because he’d assembled the entire thing and absolutely to god knows every single little word… or at the very least at the alter tapping his foot and humming lightly while listening intently to Louis say his vows

Lestat is an excellent dancer bc he practices on corpses. As for the singing, well, he struggles with the desire to entertain ppl at the slightest provocation. It will be an issue at the wedding.

Do you know if fanfiction is allowed today?? I was going to post something I wrote, but then I learned about all the suing that had happened, and since I am a minor in terrified of placing my parents into a lawsuit

Short answer: Yes, fanfic is okay now. AR now “ignores fanfiction.” That’s her current stance. We don’t have her approval, we have her tolerance.

*~And AO3 has pledged itself as a safe haven* for fanfic writers to post their works!~*

But even with all that, I still would caution ppl from sharing the more hidden fics unless you are sure you are communicating w/ someone who is not a POTP, bc they have “poked the bear” by sending things to AR under the guise of caring for her, but it always feels like a thinly veiled attempt to provoke drama *grumbles* 

Just so you know: a lawsuit doesn’t happen immediately. She has to send you a C&D (Cease & Desist) letter first, and that’s a very scarily-worded letter that’s meant to intimidate you into taking your fanfic down, during the War on Fanfic™, ppl just complied, avoiding any further action.

I really should have an FAQ, sorry about, that bc I’ve answered this before 😛 I have more info on her stance on fanfic in these posts [X] [X], and in my #fanfic and #war on fanfic tags, if you want to more.

What do you think Louis role will be in the next book? ( also, do you think Anne will be mentioning the crossovers this time? )

Louis will probably spend a lot of time fawning over Lestat, there will probably be a wedding and he’ll probably get another gawdy emerald ring to add to the pile of them. IDK but apparently he can fly now, so he’s using his vampiry gifts finally! Hopefully we’ll see some more of that.

[^X] AR has said, at a booksigning I went to in Oct. 2014, that she didn’t think the Mayfair/VC crossover aged well over time. @daniel-james-molloy has a theory that we’ll see Taltos in PLROA. We’ll see!

“I’ve been asked often: will there be crossover books involving my vampires and my werewolves? Will we see more crossover books with the vampires and the Mayfair witches? — As I see things now, no, I will not be doing crossover books again that involve two different series. The simple reason is: I’ve discovered from experience that each series has a certain texture, a certain ambience, a certain dominant set of aesthetic rules; and crossovers seldom do justice to the series involved in this regard. I’m proud of the hybrid vampire/Mayfair novels (Merrick, Blackwood Farm, and Blood Canticle and appreciate very much those readers who enjoyed them), but these books have not aged well in my mind and heart. I also think many readers were confused by them, especially Mayfair readers who did not especially care for the vampire books I wrote. But I would never say never to anything now. I love to experiment, break new ground, take twists and turns. Who knows? And I do appreciate the questions on this very much.”

I really loved Interview With The Vampire, but can I enjoy it as a stand alone book? Are there other stand alone books in the series? I’m really busy and don’t exactly have the time to read 12 books. Should I just read the first three? I need advice help

You can enjoy IWTV as a stand-alone book! You can do whatever you want! It’s your life.

However, The Vampire Lestat is a response to that story, it’s all the things Lestat wanted to tell Louis but couldn’t, and it only really mentions IWTV briefly. TVL is almost a standalone book but it ends on a cliffhanger, so it makes you want to go on to the next one. And the next, and the next, so that’s sort of why I read all of them. 

I would always recommend reading at least the first 3 bc those are generally, fandom-wide, considered the best.

12 books is not that many when you have a lifetime to read them. I’ve re-read all of them except Vittorio (only 1x for him), so they’re more like 36+ books for me. I read them for different things when I re-read them. People read the Bible over and over and look for different things in it.

Just about any of the books could be stand-alones, you can pick based on which characters you like best. The Vampire Armand could be a stand-alone book, he goes deeper into his story, which he gave in previous books. Some books give a different perspective on previous events in the series (what we call the “unreliable narrator”).

Most stand-aloney:
The Vampire Armand
Blackwood Farm 
Prince Lestat 
Pandora 
Vittorio the Vampire
