petition to start romanticizing brown eyes
The colour was rich like chocolate and soft as fur when she was happy, but when crossed, quickly became the rocks the ships shattered against in the storm.
I am immensely pleased with this.
Aw this made me happy

There is a reason that most fanfiction authors, specifically girls, start with a Mary Sue. It’s because girls are taught that they are never enough. You can’t be too loud, too quiet, too smart, too stupid. You can’t ask too many questions or know too many answers. No one is flocking to you for advice. Then something wonderful happens. The girl who was told she’s stupid finds out that she can be a better wizard than Albus Dumbledore. And that is something very important. Terrible at sports? You’re a warrior who does backflips and Legolas thinks you’re THE BEST. No friends? You get a standing ovation from Han Solo and the entire Rebel Alliance when you crash-land safely on Hoth after blowing up the Super Double Death Star. It’s all about you. Everyone in your favorite universe is TOTALLY ALL ABOUT YOU.
I started writing fanfiction the way most girls did, by re-inventing themselves.
Mary Sues exist because children who are told they’re nothing want to be everything.
//The complete truth. I do, I wanna kiss his hair. And I respect him so much. Look at me, getting emotional over a fictional character. X/ I need to fall in love with real people for a change.
[Real people aren’t nearly as interesting as fictional characters, and when they are, they are equally vicious and dangerous so it’s hard for me to stay. That’s a difficult situation right there haha. Let me just be surrounded by fictional characters, then…
But the inspiration for a fictional character comes from someone somewhere. An event or even multiple events that we see and can put together to make one being and lifestory for them, so technically when we fall in love with a fictional character aren’t we falling in love with all humanity that resembles those traits?

Falling in love with a writer is a dangerous thing, isn’t it? The only thing you get out of it sometimes is immortality.

Sometimes I think it takes
more courage and stubbornness, than talent, to be a writer.
You have to stick to your guns. But it is so worth it.

Overheard at Prince Lestat Booksigning of 10/28/14 (1/?)
Someone asked AR:
“Anne, has Vicky (Victoria Wilson, AR’s editor of 40+yrs) ever cut, or asked you to cut, a sex scene from any of your books?”
The answer was an immediate “NO.”
Vicky said: “Her sex scenes… I’m reading them going, ‘Oh Anne, are we going there? We are? Oh god.’ and then I turn the page and it gets so much more intense even…. and that’s what great writing is, it takes you on a journey you might not have planned on, but enjoyed.”
Well he’s not wrong.

We all know Lestat’s writing severely went downhill when he boycotted me as his editor.
