ooc; I don’t believe she’s ever stated they watched HoW. She did mention True Blood though.
One of my fav things as a fan of both VC and Hell on Wheels is that Anson Mount (actor behind Cullen Bohannon) is also a fan of VC. Which, btw, everyone should watch Hell on Wheels because it’s such a great series.
“You would not believe the laughter in this house when vampires come to watch True Blood on HBO. They think it’s hilarious.”
I feel like I’ve seen fanart of them all squished onto a couch together for tv/movie night, but I can’t find it ;A; If anyone has this fanart – or wants to draw it – please gimme.
Hah well I’ve drawn it, it’s on my DA-it’s not very good though XD;;
OMG THIS IS THE ~E X A C T~ PIECE I WAS THINKING OF THANK U SO MUCH FOR LINKING! BUT I NEED IT PHYSICALLY ON THIS POST RIGHT NOW sorry if you didn’t want that level of exposure but i say it is adorable and so sayeth the masses i am sure:
LOOKIT THIS CUTE PILE OF FANGED LITTLE TRASH MONSTERS and like Marius is all “I am not watching this shit, tell me when there’s a commercial break I will watch that.”
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.
THIS IS THE MOST LESTAT THING THAT HE HAS DONE SINCE HE ACTUALLY PLAYED LESTAT ONCE UPON A TIME. THIS IS MORE LESTAT THAN ANYTHING THAT LESTAT DID IN THE MOVIE.
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 ❤
