This evening I wrote a 1,800 word review of ’Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis’ that quotes Rousseau, which was some distraction from the headachey fatigue at the tail end of this damned virus.

I am pleased you’re distracting yourself and feeling somewhat better – long may it continue – and very pleased you’ve posted your review here, because I wanted to share it with @i-want-my-iwtv and this makes it easier. It’s a very well-written review!

Oh cool! Thanks @katzenfabrik. I enjoyed @bluestockingcouture’s review, even tho I haven’t finished reading PLROA myself (I love being spoiled tho, so no worries there). 

Yes, ppl, send me links to your PLROA reviews, I want to make a masterpost. 

Hey Burnadette, do you or your followers know of any fanfic featuring Petronia? She’s such a great character that the other night I found myself considering re-reading Blackwood Farm just to spend more time with her, and that was a bad book that did badly by her. Sigh. I’d appreciate any pointers!

Petronia is a great character! That would be a good reason for a BF reread.

I haven’t seen any fic featuring her, myself, so I’ll throw this out to the fandom.

BTW thanks for that Hannibal/Lestat crossover fic link! It’s gr9!

what if hannibal told cheesy jokes instead of implying cannibalism? 

The Vampire Lestat would appreciate the hell out of those jokes, that’s what. 

if one could maybe be induced to eat the other? i might watch this show

#i’m guessing vampire chap could win against Dr Lector in a fight

I reckon so, but Lestat might be inclined to play with him for a while first, and Lector wouldn’t make it easy for him.

Dammit, I’d pay money to see/read this. Where is the fanfic on this topic? AO3 only has this, which isn’t quite what I’m looking for but does include the following lines:

“Look, Dr. Lecter, I checked you out.  You are an expensive psychiatrist so you must be good. I needed an appointment right away and you were all booked up, so I improvised. Did you hear me say I was a vampire?”

“Yes, I’m Lithuanian, not deaf.”

and:

Hannibal fumes silently. He needs to be careful until he knows what this disturbed and disturbing creature has done with Will. Hannibal no longer doubts he is indeed sitting across from a real vampire. He also
acknowledges since Lestat is already dead he won’t even taste very good…

ok, what? that sounds amazing.. vampire fop needs an appointment asap, so he books himself in, and Dr L just snarks at him? excellent

“And you are stressing me out, Doctor Lecter. Do you really want to antagonize a stressed out vampire? What is to be done about that?” – Interview with a Cannibal or Appointment with a Vampire

THIS IS GR9 I LOVE IT!

The body is Anglo-Indian.

katzenfabrik replied to your post: anonymous said:So, David is an or…

I think the body’s original owner is described as Anglo-Indian, a term that makes me think of the British Raj, though Wikipedia says it’s still in use today.

he was either pakistani or indian
the body belonged to the son of indian immigrants [if I am not mistaken. idk, read that book a month ago but not very carefully]

Does anyone remember the first time it’s mentioned? If you don’t mind sending me a quote, just curious. Just can’t find it myself 😛

Fan Questions for Lestat: yay or nay?

katzenfabrik replied to your photo “Another QUESTION FOR LESTAT answered:  Lestat here: I want to answer…”

You’re doing the lord’s work.

Thank you, glad to know someone appreciates these efforts!

How do you all feel about this new development? I’m sort of mixed on these Fan Questions for Lestat, bc on the one hand I should be thrilled that “Lestat” is actually interacting in social media after 20+ of only interacting through canon…

…AND YET these answers read somewhat out-of-character to the point where I just *facepalm* so….

Oncle Julien

cloudsinvenice:

Okay, heads up: katzenfabrik and I have made an important scientific discovery in the course of re-reading Blackwood Farm. We suffered to bring you this.

Fact 1: ghosts in Anne Rice’s world manifest by gathering atoms of nearby material to themselves.

Fact 2: Oncle Julien manifests while hosting hot chocolate tea parties.

Therefore, the ghost of Oncle Julien is made of chocolate.
