Also, can we talk about how very badly I want Ashley Marie Witter to do a multi-volume illustrated version of The Vampire Lestat. I love Interview with the Vampire: Claudia’s Story.
can you make a ‘dumb things lestat said in iwtv’ setence meme for rpers?
Do you mean the ridiculous things he said? I can do that 😉 Will post that momentarily.
Buonasera. Lately it seems like my imagination is completely blank and I don’t really know what to do ’cause writing, singing… they are two of my greatest loves. How do I deal with inspiration? How do you do it? Hope you can give me some advice. Have a good night, Lestat.
♛Ah, the creative blocks! They happen to us all. When I lose musical inspiration, I turn to listening to – or doing my own – variations on existing works.
I might try a song and sing it in another singer’s style. Have you ever heard of Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine? Lounge applied to any other song, preferably one in a very different genre, is almost a guarantee of comic relief, and that can be the first crack in breaking through my creative block.
Collaboration with others can help, too. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been creatively stifled, I’ll call my mortal band to meet at a karaoke place and we’ll just go through our favorites, works very well.
But there are going to be times in your life where the muse won’t speak to you for no apparent reason, and other times when you can’t shut her up, ebbs and flows are normal. I hope your muse returns to you, post-haste *winks*
LOVED chapter 4 (: do you guys upload chapters very frequently?
Thank you so much! @wicked-felina and I are so touched by the feedback we’ve been getting on it, it’s keeping us excited about it, too.
We’re both a little preoccupied with RL for NYE but should be posting more soon. Lots of notes and sections have been written, just gotta keep up the momentum on it ;D
Gotta say, when you’re reading a given chapter, we’ve actually both combed over it quite a bit; it’s not alternating between authors! We share similar headcanons and agree on a lot of things, our writing styles mesh well and we flail over eachothers ideas. She has a talent for witty dialogue, finding and moving the plot along at a good pace, and I love to set the tone with place setting, visuals, the texture of things. We’re very complementary ❤
Dear Lestat, of course I have to take some precautions. If you decided you were offended by a stranger asking for your Dark Gift, a mortal such as myself has little enough defense even with anonymity. If it’s any help, I’m not considered unattractive by my peers. I could almost be Louis’ sibling- black hair, rather large green eyes. I assure you that you would tower over me, and are invited to do so. I’m deeply fond of Bon Jovi and a great deal of Celtic rock. How’s my resume thus far? -S
//ooc; Lestat won’t be considering any more Dark Gift requests, respectfully, find another Lestat RPer.
Let’s be real here, this is a fandom blog and it’s run by a human, there is no way this Lestat could jump up and ask for your address and come visit you to get to know you or turn you! Keep that in mind when you send him asks, he’s limited by being FICTIONAL and doesn’t want to make promises he can’t keep.//
♛You’re missing my point… *sigh*
If you are frightened for your life of revealing yourself to me in fear of offending me, then we’ve already started off on the wrong foot *frowns*. How can you start a relationship that could last far longer than any mortal relationship in fear? No. You can’t.
It’s not about your appearance or height, while yes, it does perturb me that David is taller than I am, but that’s what heeled boots were made for! And it is fun to be the shorter one in a kiss and have to tilt my face up to him, just for a change of pace.
It’s not about your taste in music, although it’s no secret that I adore Bon Jovi. You may have mentioned that just to kiss up to me… I hope that you don’t try to conform yourself to try to please others, enjoy that Celtic rock!
What I’m looking for is that chemistry you feel when you’re with someone you love or could love and they feel the same way for you. For me, that needs to happen in the physical. I don’t know of any vampire who’s promised the Dark Gift to a stranger they met on the internet, or before that existed, a penpal relationship. Perhaps it’s worked for others, but not for me.
Don’t you realize that even if I wanted to say Yes, and turn every single one of you who beg for vampirism, the sheer volume of such a task would probably kill me emotionally before it did physically?! Would we pick a church somewhere and have people fall in line for this kind of communion? I do have other interests than making vampires all night, every night, for months or even the years it would take to fill all the requests.
And then what of the fact that it does not always work, would we group all the “duds” into a dog kennel out back? Would we take care of them in a home somewhere or kill them to put them out of their misery and send their bodies back to their families? What if YOU became one of these duds? It’s all too gruesome and I’m terrified just thinking about it. Major buzzkill, as they say.
I hate to say No, so please stop asking me for this.
Please check Anne Rice’s facebook page, she’s talking about a television series!! She said she has the theatrical rights for Vampire Chronicles once again!! A TELEVISION SERIES OMG
YES. WOW. A TV series could cover a lot more ground than one movie or a trilogy/series of movies, and lock in a cast for a long period of time, lots of benefits to that medium! The way TV series seem to invite fan engagement lately is also a factor, whether it’s a negative or a positive is up to how the showrunners handle that… fanservice can be good or bad.
(I got a ton of messages like this in the past few days, catching up on them is like trying to drink from a fire hydrant and I love it, the booksigning last night actually really helped settle my thoughts on it all.)
^I feel like I’m Lestat asking ppl to scooch over to I can rejoin you all in this madness *u*
So this is relatively old news even though it was only 5 days ago that the bomb dropped on us, we’re all reacting in our own way, I’ve seen some of the posts and will be sharing/reblogging them, from what I can tell so far there’s a lot of anticipation, anxiety, support, and also disappointment and what the heck happened w/ Josh Boone?!, the main questions seem to be:
Who is going to join the team now?! and,
Will this adaptation be faithful to the books?!
In answer to these, at the booksigning last night (11/30/16), AR had this to tell us about the new TV series:
- It’s been 8 yrs that the adaptation has been in the works in Hollywood, but she didn’t elaborate on what kept it from progressing (AR and CR must know, they’ve probably learned a thing or two about what obstacles lie in their path on this, I feel like they can navigate these things better now than ever before).
- Their official VC FB has gotten 2.8 million hits and thousands of shares so far!
- AR and CR are writing the pilot episode and a treatment for the first 2 seasons. And it seems like they want to perfect their vision before inviting others onto the team.
- Their agents are deluged w/ phone calls from producers and studios who want to talk with AR and CR whenever they’re ready 😀
- AR thinks it’s gonna work out this time. She and Christopher recognize that TV and film are collaborative art forms, and there will be compromise, but they will be polite and firm that it’s not gonna happen if it’s not the way they want it to be. <– Appears to be their commitment to be faithful to canon.
- This whole book tour is celebratory of them getting the rights back ❤
Stay tuned to #VC News…
I can totally see Lestat coming home, walking into his music room and seeing Armand dramaticly displaying himself on the piano. Giving Lestat a fake surprised look and going ‘Oh, you’re home!?’. Someone please draw this?
I’m sure you meant smtg less tasteful than this, but oh well I tried…
[X] BTW its not easy to find a pic of Bjorn Andresen smiling.
If you receive this, you make someone happy. Go on anonymous and send this to ten of your followers who make you happy or some that you think need cheering up. If you get some back, even better!
Claudia seems to be wearing the same dress in these shots. Headcanon: it’s the same night, and she cried herself to sleep in Louis’ arms after Lestat took over her piano lesson.
