Merci beaucoup! I’m good. Glad you asked this bc I haven’t done one of these in a year. 

Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland, as I always say. Good to have fresh blood, pun intended of course.

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE 

(ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

Some ppl post IWTV or QOTD pics/gifsets or aesthetic posts, some ppl will post meta about VC and other fandoms, but I think the only other exclusively VC blogs (or as close as possible, as mine aims to be) are @vampire-chronicles-appreciation and @vampchronfic. 

(The lists below are updated a little from a post I made about this a year ago, so some may be inactive now, but their archives might lead you to active ppl.)

Specifically VC blogs (in no special order):

Other blogs that often mention VC or other vampire or gothic yumminess:

You can also try these tags for RPers, headcanons, fanart, ppl looking for other VC Fandom ppl, and such in the VC fandom:

Here are some blogs that reblog a bunch of IWTV stuff. i’m not sure about the others, but the first two make gifsets, sometimes photosets, text posts etc 🙂

Oh, to think that I thought I was suffering before. Naive me. Favouring the doomed, as if tumblr didn’t warm me. God do I love the book though, I can not thank you enough for keeping my interest alive by your blog until I could read on. ♥

You are so welcome! When encouragement isn’t enough I do throw grapes…

So I have a question that maybe you could answer? Why are people not excited for the new book? I definitely understand that the new title and storyline sounds a bit iffy but I just thought people would be excited that Anne Rice is writing new books and continuing the series. I know I’m a bit younger than most in this fandom, IWTV came out wayy before I was even born so maybe that’s why I don’t understand haha. Thanks!

Some ppl definitely ARE excited for the new book! There was alot of excitement and cautious optimism for Prince Lestat. 

I feel like I have a good perspective on this bc I have been in this fandom for 20+ years even tho book!IWTV came out before I was born, too. I’d have to ask a more veteran fandom person what it was like when they got the sequel(s) to IWTV! I got into the fandom right before the movie came out in ‘94, when we only had the first 4 books, so I looked forward to every new book with some level of excitement and that’s hard to shake even now *u*

New titles and storylines have often sounded more than a bit iffy and there has often been resistance to each new VC book. Alot of ppl didn’t think they would like TOBT or MtD, and some read those and still refuse to accept either as canon.

[X] Ppl have their own ideas of the characters in their minds. As AR continues delve into their perspectives on previous events and give them new stories in each new book, some ppl choose to “get off the bus” along the way, bc they don’t necessarily trust her vision and they don’t want to see their fave character(s) in characterization they feel is off, or forced into plots that make no sense, etc. And we can’t blame AR for this but the trainwreck that was movie!QOTD, so much was off that it was offensive, and yet, surprisingly, some ppl find that movie nostalgic! ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Some ppl actually trust the fanfic writers and/or fanartists more than the author at this point, bc many of our awesome fanfic writers and fanartists learned the voices and attitudes of the characters and try to keep them in the style that drew us to them in the first place ❤

I do ship this OT3, but it had to be rocky in the beginning.
