Oh… about my issues with my fandoms… Is because there is so much love and I can handle everything… and hurts my kokoro ;__; Is something like… “I HATE YOU, BUT I LOVE YOU, BUT I HATE YOU! and so…. #DramaQueenModeON jajajajajaja And…. please… do you have idea where I could found all those pictures of the deleted escenes from IWTV ??? Some one ask me, and I have not Idea… so I came here to ask you… You Master Wizard of The VC Fandom <3

Yes, indeed, the VC canon and fandom will hit you #RIGHT IN THE FEELS ;]

Master Wizard of The VC Fandom? Wow, such title, much appreciate! No, I’m just lil ol’ Mater Fabuloso, at your service *curtsies*

OK so, Where TF are the pics of the deleted scenes??! 

There are a few cut scenes/shots or alternate takes on the IWTV DVD, in the trailer for the movie. I’ve pulled a few out as gifs. Here’s a fresh one for you! 

1st one is the alternate take, second is the shot used in the movie.

Where are the deleted scenes??? 

I have asked that myself for years. As far as I know there isn’t one place and none have been released on any DVD or Bluray edition, but I’ve collected many pics over time like this one:

They’re in my #cut scenes tag. That one and these, which you might also like, have stuff from other movies, too:

A silly question, but would I be considered any less apart of the fandom if I haven’t read all of the books? I’ve read the main ones but many of them, especially the later ones have pretty bad reputations and I am just unsure whether I should either bother with them? I have read the first 3 A LOT and some others, too.

Not a silly question! There are 11 VC books now (13 if you include the New Tales’ Pandora and Vittorio) THATS A LOT OF STORY (just imagine this gif 11-13 times bc I don’t wanna actually throw it in 11-13 times not aesthetically pleasing)

What is being part of a fandom? 

  • Everyone’s idea of this is different. 
  • The short answer is simply: You’ve read enough to be part of the fandom! Welcome! I, Mater Fabuloso, decree you worthy.

As far as the later books having a bad reputation…

image

Yes! Some of them are so crazy and wildly cracky! That’s why we also call them the #Vampire Crackicles. It’s a term of endearment. The crazy is a big part of why we enjoy it. Dysfunctional vampires! The first 3-4 books in the series seem to be the more highly regarded, VC-fandom-wide, maybe bc the crazy was better woven in.

If you liked the first 3 – and some others – enough to reread them, you must also enjoy the sense of humor that’s mixed in with the angst, the love, the overall crazy! The bad-reputation VC have some silly/angsty/etc. quotes and scenes that are not to be missed (like that quote about Lestat’s foot size insecurity pfffft).

Short answer is: give it all a chance, skim if you must, and decide for yourself, it’s meant to be fun, it’s not a religion, there are no chants to memorize, you will not be quizzed next Monday ;]


Personally, and I hope this goes for others, I welcome anyone into the fandom who loves any of the characters. Maybe someone’s gateway drug was movie!IWTV. Maybe it was Claudia’s Story (graphic novel). Any combination of VC books/media counts!

I think the more VC you read, the better-informed your “headcanon” (let me explain you a thing about headcanon if you aren’t familiar with the concept) will be, as you choose which parts of (or scenes within) the series feel believable to you. 

I sound like a broken record bc I write this SO OFTEN: my idea of being “part of the fandom” just means engaging in discussions about the series, making fanworks, and making friendships with ppl who share your interests. I don’t know how other fandoms behave, but that’s a summary of my positive experiences in the VC fandom.

“Such a messy eater.”

“It’s only lipstick, Cherie, I promise.”

My offering to the vc fandom and it’s queen ( i-want-my-iwtv ), a quick Lestat, pose referenced from a photo of Marilyn Monroe. I’d like to clean it up and color him eventually…

You’re the Queen of tags. ;)

vcpositivity:

“Shoutout to merciful-death, vagabonddaniel and i-want-my-iwtv who are like mom, dad, and uncle Lestan for our community. They’re super nice people and great roleplayers, I want to thank them for the time they put on being pillars of our community, organizing stuff, leading discussions, creating content and in general being awesome and keeping us together.”

Awwwwww! What a lovely message! 

♥u♥

I think I can speak for all three of us *~parental figures~* when I say all we want is to enjoy this fandom together with u all! 

~ ♥ ~

Personally, I love getting impressions from ppl just starting reading the series, as well as ideas from ppl who have already read and reread some or all of the VC. The headcanons ppl share are inspiring and the fanartists breathe visible life into these characters we all cherish. The silly stuff, the meta discussions, the RP… it’s a gift that keeps on giving to support such a fandom. 

So thank you for following us, for sharing back with us, and if I could quit my job and just do this for a living I WOULD DO THAT IN A HEARTBEAT so much fandom love back to you, and the original writer of this lovely sentiment.

We’ve been getting pings and @’s all morning about ebooks-tree.com who seem to be scraping/taking stories off of AO3 and hosting them as PDFs and mobi downloads on their site; the site seems to be pulling from UrBookLibrary as well. They’re not reading your “do not copy/duplicate” notes on your AO3 fic; their bots are pulling things directly from AO3, without AO3′s authorization or assent. It looks like they are pulling from Wattpad too, again without authorization or assent. 

While the Ebooks-Tree DMCA page seems to imply that you need a lawyer or other “authorized person” to submit a takedown notice, you don’t; you can do it yourself

As we’ve posted before, fanfic writers hold copyright in their stories, although not in lines/quotes from the works they’ve been inspired by, and because of that, fanfic writers can submit DMCA takedown notices, or have someone do it on their behalf. While this post isn’t legal advice (none of our posts on FYC are), you might want to consider using this template (well, the bolded bits) in telling ebooks-tree to take down your content

Your Name and/or Pseudonym as an e-signature (or the name of the person you’ve authorized to submit this request, with a slash before it and after it):
Link(s) to the unauthorized works (link to the pdf, the mobi and the page hosting all of it): 
Link(s) to an authorized version of your work (whether on AO3, tumblr, LJ or somewhere else): 
An email address of the submitter (include it again even if it’s in the header): 
This statement: I have good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
This statement: The information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

That’s it – that’s all they need to know – you can submit all the info via http://www.ebooks-tree.com/info.php?contacts with DMCA Complaint in the subject; you may wish to submit the same content to Google via this page, or to BING via this page

(Fwiw, even though they claim that they comply with the Copyright Act, they aren’t compliant with the DMCA Safe Harbor rules, as they aren’t listed on the copyright.gov list of agents.)

You can also submit a complaint about ebooks-tree to CloudFlare, who hosts the site. Their DMCA page is at https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form – as a matter of law you do not need to include the legal name of the copyright claimant/the fanfic writer, but  you should include the pseudonym that the fic was posted under if you don’t want to include a legal name or address.  

Hey, folks. Just so you know, the OTW is aware of this, and we’re working on deciding what action we might take as an organization. For now, here are some instructions on how to request that your writing be taken off the site.

You guys, they took one of my fics ;A; I’ll be pursuing them. To check to see if they took one of yours, copy the url below and replace my pseud with yours.

Fight the theft of fanfic! I’m going to send them DMCAs complaints as shown above. 

Sent my DMCA’s as well. Seeing as they have also pilfered the works of many published authors (including Anne Rice, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman and more) I’m thinking they might be in for a world of hurt. I hope so, anyway. Thanks for letting me know so quickly yesterday- you are indeed Fabulosa!

You’re most welcome! I didn’t realize that they had published authors on there as well. It’s reprehensible to steal fanfic, but it takes massive balls to attempt to steal published work, too.

AR hasn’t mentioned it on FB, does anyone think she should be made aware? She’s supposedly got the best, most vicious lawyers…

Awwww thank you redversaillesrose! Ha ha ha yes I has seen my memes that is why they call me *~Mater Fabuloso~*

(^Claudia screaming back at your screaming! lol)

I’m tryna be more… reachy-outative would be the word… especially with ppl like you who are regularly twirling about in my Activity feed, reminding me why I do this, bc ppl love it! As much as I do. Maybe more.

Surprising in the beginning, seeing that ppl still have feels for VC, and I appreciate it more than you know, your sticking with me *u*
