//That’s a very good question. I’d been on tumblr for some years on another blog and created my own original materials – it wasn’t a writing or fandom related blog / page. 

I’d always loved Anne Rice and started reading VC when I was 11. It helped me get through a lot of things in my life and overcome a lot of emotional pain. I knew with the VC characters I’d never be alone. [VC NERDDDDDD].

After coming back home after my trip of America I was inspired again to read VC, especially after seeing New Orleans. I had my copy of Prince Lestat delivered in November last year. I ate up the entire book as fast as I could! It was disappointing in so many way but I still enjoyed it. 

The story that really got to me was Antoine’s. It was a very short part of the novel, yet the ending of his story was amazing. I was jumping with joy when Armand greeted him at TG. Around this time I was looking for Interview with the Vampire memes and I came across i-want-my-iwtv. Through this page I found the fandom. I read and read and read threads for a few months. I wanted to be apart of it all. At first I thought I’d I would come on, however I talked myself out of it a few times. Until I just convinced myself that I wanted to be apart of the fandom. I picked Antoine because 1. there was no Antoine and 2. I could relate to him a lot. 

My favourite character is Armand, but there were already so many talented / amazing Armands. I knew I couldn’t match them in terms of staying true to the character. I never thought I would have written so much with Antoine. I though everyone would ignore me. Everyone has been so nice! 

SIDE NOTE: I’m spending 18 months on writing a novel. I hope to be published in under a year. It has nothing to do with he supernatural or vampires, but I hoped that joining the Fandom would improve my writing. 

^This is so sweet! I am so honored that my madness this blog opened the door for you. WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME.
