#Why would u do dis #oh gawd #HE DIDN’T BLAME HER #AND HOW HE LOVES HER #cries forever #;A;
#like he is apologetic here and seeking warmth from her right as she is about to try to assassinate him #she has the knife already tucked into her outfit #;A; #might he have changed her mind if he had played this moment just a little differently?

Fanfic?? there’s no such thing as VC fanfic… pfffft. What are you crazy honestly??!
^Lestat is laughing bc he knows I is sarcastic.
In short, Anne Rice had waged war on VC fanfic in the mid-90s, sic’ing her lawyers on many fanfic writers, eventually breaking apart fanfic sites (“speculative fiction” or “spec” archives/communities) and driving many of these writers to stop writing altogether or do so in a more underground way.
Currently, she’s had conflicting stances on fanfic, but hasn’t made outright war at nearly that level. We try not to tag her in discussions of it, basically, we don’t try to provoke her by making our caches of VC fanfic known. Especially on Facebook, where she’s very active and might see it. She posted this on her FB in 2014 (I think):
Archive of Our Own (aka AO3) should satisfy you. Lots of good things about that site, one of which is the ability to bookmark/download/comment/kudos fics. They also have a mission statement about protecting these fanworks from copyright infringement arguments.
There’s also fanfiction.net, which I haven’t really tried, ppl say it’s good.
You can try my #fanfic tag here, in which I’ve collected some that have made their way to tumblrland.
Also, explore the VC RP community here on tumblr, their threads are a form of fanfic. We don’t really have a wide-spread active VC RP directory but you can start with the vcdirectory (not updated currently, but there may still be some blogs on there to peruse), vcpositivity, and withinthesavagegarden.
OMG
My boyfriend just looked at this and went, “That’s Claudia… and Lurch standing behind… and Ed Milliband sitting.“
Yeah, I think something went wrong with this cover… kind of interesting, though, that the blurb was so up-front about the erotic quality of Claudia’s attraction for Louis.
Merci beaucoup mon pamplemousse! Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland ^______^
What a lovely thing to say *flails* Hard to believe this blog is a top google result, that is some kind of accomplishment indeed! The truth is that the VC fandom has been alive and well for a looooong time, but hiding from the light of day due to AR’s war on fanfic during the 90′s. We’ve all slowly come up out of the woodwork and Prince Lestat encouraged even more of us to step into the light, it ushered in the fresh blood, too: ppl who had seen one of the movies or read a few of the books AND NOW WE ARE ALL FRICKIN’ GATHERING HERE. TOGETHER AT LAAAAAST.
We really do have some unbelievably talented VC fanartists, writers, thinkers, RPers, cheerleaders, musicians (yes musicians, too!), etc. I consider myself an addict of all of it, and I curate it all so we can all squee over it, be inspired by each other, and most importantly, MAKE MOAR.
What a great platform this is, with the ease of fanwork sharing, whether it’s fanmix, fanart, fanfic, meta discussion, RP, VC news linkage, and so much more. What an incredible time to join the fandom, right when it’s having its greatest renaissance in the fandom’s history ❤
Messages like yours keep this blog a-thrive. See what I did there? omg i am the Queen of Cheese. WHATEVER IT’S CUTE AS HELL & I AM CUTE AS HELL
Bonjour Felicity! Thank you for such lovely compliments *u* YOUR PARENTS got you into this mess? omg I am so jealous, I tried to get my parents to watch IWTV (they actually did read books #1-2 and seemed to like them) but they were basically:

Actually, Louis doesn’t need to wear any clothing at all to be a work of art. Mother Nature (and I) made him that way *smirks*
Whether he cares to or not, Louis actually looks stunning in black. Especially distressed black jeans, or black leather pants… *licks fangs*
