“… two wet shriveled things that had been alive, mother and daughter in one another’s arms, the murdered pair on the kitchen floor. But these two lying under the gentle rain were Madeleine and Claudia, … the hand that clutched at the child was whole like a mummy’s hand. But the child, the ancient one, my Claudia, was ashes.”
– Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
I’ve been incredibly nostalgically feeling Vampire Chronicles lately since I’m reading Prince Lestat (which I’m actually enjoying & haven’t finished yet) and where there is VC feelings, there is feelings for Armand, the love of my life.
It’s nice to be able to draw him close to how I see him in my head. I didn’t have the tools to do that at 13.
For some reason in my mind Lestat is some kind of a pervert xD And after all this time without Louis this is the first thing he was waiting for Lestat: I missed your backside, Louis!! Louis: … -.-# Screw you…

I’m trying to find this great graphic I saw ages ago about types of fanfic, where, say, the source text would be a continuous line, and an augmenting fanfic would be a line that takes off at at angle, or an AU would be a line separate from the canon line—does this ring a bell with anyone?
THIS. Is one of my favorite posts re: fanfic and I am so glad I found it again to reblog it here. Such accurate description of what fanfic is/seeks to achieve in its many forms. I’m sure someone out there is thinking it’s incomplete, and maybe that’s true, but I love this for what it explains anyway and so HERE IT IS.
I would add that Drabbles and Additions exist within canon, filling out interstices of the overall story.
And I also find this diagram creatively inspiring. If you’re stuck, you might find a way through by choosing a different route based on these diagrams.
