Money absolutely does buy happiness. You are probably just spending it wrong give it to me I’ll show you how it’s done
Thanks to @sherlockspider for sharing this with us!!
My favorite VC FanFiction website disappeared and I’m so upset! I don’t know if it’ll come back either. Do you know of anywhere good to go?
Fanfic?? there’s no such thing as VC fanfic… pfffft. What are you crazy honestly??!
^Lestat is laughing bc he knows I is sarcastic.
I have some drabbles and links to fic saved with other characters in my #fanfic, and #damn you and your perfect headcanon perfection tags here. There’s also some fine stuff in the @vcsecretgifts archive.
Archive of Our Own (aka AO3) has a mission statement about protecting fanworks from copyright infringement arguments, so I feel pretty safe recc’ing stuff that’s on there, too.
The site you’re talking about, if it’s the one I think you mean*, does go down sometimes, but it’s usually a renewal fee for the domain, or the mods are tinkering with the layout.
This is a good reminder that you should always download the fanart and fanfics you like! You never know when a site could go away forever, or an artist/writer could take down their works. That’s part of why I made this blog in the first place, it was just supposed to be my collection of fanart and stuff, but now that it’s become what it is and gets so much attention, my blog is definitely not a safe archive anymore, it could get taken down.
*I don’t want to put the name of it or link out here bc we still keep some fanfic places hidden. As you probably, know bc I’ve mentioned it SO MANY TIMES, our fandom experienced a war on fanfic like no other, and many great works were lost forever ;A; The secret fanfic places that remain, well… you have to earn the trust of someone who knows where they are bc altho AR’s stance has changed (in that she tolerates the existence of fanfiction), it doesn’t mean she wouldn’t change her mind and slam writers with legal action at some other time.
I’d love to just link things out here so that ppl can enjoy them but I can’t :-
i made a thing. let me know how long it takes you to win. I’M STARTING NOW WITH TALE OF THE BODY THIEF, I’LL LET YA KNOW KIDS. 4 BOXES ALREADY JUST FROM THE PROLOGUE.
This is brilliant!
Epic
#perfect just perfect!
damn boy are you the terms and conditions because i don’t give a fuck what you have to say
hey i was wondering, have you seen the person recently (not sure i should link or not) where a critic is analyzing the series in order? if so what did you think? they seem to have been in the fandom a long time like you, are you friends?
You probably mean @vraik!
I’ve been following Vrai Kaiser for awhile now, but never reached out… Because of your ask, I finally did so tonight and we chatted a bit tonight! ^_____^
I’ve read some of their IWTV analysis here, and over on their blog, Fashionable Tinfoil accessories. Here’s the tumblr masterpost of their IWTV review.
One of the things we talked about tonight is that different ppl engage with fandom in different ways. Some ppl engage with canon by making fanart, fanfic, cosplays, etc., some ppl do it by examining the text, considering it on its own and also re: the cultural impact it has on its readers.
Vrai presents some intriguing opinions with a really good sense of humor in their writing style, and they have great pics from various sources (w/ fun captions!) to break up the text, definitely worth checking them out ;D
[^X one of my memes, it’s Neil Jordan, certified vampire therapist]
Reading through Vrai’s reviews, this was something I grabbed onto and I really like it, re: Louis as an unreliable narrator [from The Consulting Analyst – Interview with the Vampire (Part 2)]:
I know I keep coming back to the fact that Louis lies and leaves things out of his story above and beyond his own ignorance of others, but it’s a crucial thing to return to in parsing out some manner of “truth” from the events we’re being told about. Between this account and Lestat’s own bitterness-tinged declaration that follows is an actuality, and the ambiguity of what defines that “truth” is very much at the heart of what allows these books to survive from one generation to the next. Even as parts become antiquated, you can always read a truth behind the bluster that speaks to you in a way Anne’s writing wasn’t able to cover. The ideas of these outsiders outlive the frame.
For a final touch on the subject, here’s an important moment from a little bit earlier.
“But you mustn’t be afraid to ask me anything. If I held something too close…” And when the vampire said this his face darkened for an instant. He frowned, and as his brows drew together a small well appeared in the flesh of his forehead over his left brow, as though someone had pressed it with a finger. It gave him a peculiar look of deep distress. “If I held something too close for you to ask about it, I would not bring it up in the first place,” he said.
So Louis as good as admits that he’s hiding things. It’s our job as readers, from here, to suss out where those lines get drawn.
When I was in middle school, I couldn’t cook to save my life. I ended up in a Home Ec class where the teach was determined to make me a ‘proper lady’. Needless to say, I wasnt okay with that. Needless to say, she failed and I lost kitchen privileges.
♛Well sometimes teachers do fail, it’s a sad fact of life.
We tried to find the very best for Claudia, but regardless of their ability to teach they had a shortened life expectancy, unfortunately for them. We ended up homeschooling her to a certain extent, and you have to ask yourself whether your parents are talented enough for that bc I CERTAINLY WAS.
