What are you working on now?

“Oh, I’m interested in exploring Atlantis. I’m working on a novel now—I was working on it before I broke off to do The Wolf Gift—and it’s called Born for Atlantis, and it’s about several immortals sent to the planet during the time of Atlantis and it tells the story of what happened. They’re now still alive in the modern age and they’re facing a crisis. I’m also working on something to do with aliens.”

– Anne Rice

So I found this very WTF quote in an article from 2011, so maybe this project has been moved aside, or MAYBE THIS IS PART OF PRINCE LESTAT, either way, OMFG, had to share it.

diplomacywink said: Ruh-roh. PLEASE NOT ALIENS IN THE VC NOOO

I hope not. I very much hope not. We just need to be prepared for that possibility 😛

I’ve written 3 of what I call “hybrid” novels, in which the Mayfair & vampire universes collided. Some time has passed now, and I don’t think those novels were completely successful, I don’t think they’ve worn well.

– Anne Rice, NY, 10/15/13. Paraphrased, I can’t remember exactly how she put it, but that was the message. She doesn’t see a man-wolf/vampire crossover happening.

AND she also said that, although she discussed it with Becket hoping to make it work, a Blood Vivicanti/VC cross-over is not going to happen. So that answers THAT.

I had posted this ages ago, but it bears a reblog in light of the past week’s announcement and speculation surrounding Prince Lestat.

I should mention that the question asked of her was: “Do you see a crossover of the Wolf Gift and VC or Mayfair series happening?”

I was thinking about that line about “new seductive, supernatural creatures”. Hopefully it doesn’t refer to the werewolves (I haven’t read those books, but as a rule Anne Rice’s crossovers suck) but maybe it just refers to new vampire characters? Hopefully.

AR has actually admitted herself that she felt her Mayfair/VC crossovers haven’t “worn well” over time. That’s what she said at the booksigning I went to back in Oct of last year.

I haven’t read the werewolves books either, but I read someone’s recap of one of them, and well… let’s just say I’m more of a VC person. I’ve read some of AR’s other books, including the Mayfairs… none of it really captured me like the VC. Siiiigh.

I fear a werewolf/VC crossover. If the ”new seductive, supernatural creatures” were other vampires, why not just write “new seductive vampires” ? Ghosts would be fine, or even unicorns, or mermaids! Just not werewolves, omg. Let Underworld and Twilight mix werewolves and vampires.

My very specific fear is a Louis/werewolf thing. I hope his response would be as follows:

Sometimes I wonder why there’s not tons and tons of VC crack!fic and then I remember that large portions of the book are basically crack!fic

#seriously though

#remember that time lestat got louis some hookers to eat as an apology for being a douche

#remember that time armand stole someone’s hands as punishment

#remember that time lestat took louis to go terrorize and old man and then buy louis a coat

#remember that time david broke into lestat and louis’ house and demanded they go to the carnival

#remember that time lestat mentioned he could laugh at carpet for hours on end

#remember that time marius sent armand on fieldtrips to local brothels

#remember that time louis said he was feeling suicidal so david proposed vampire sex and made out with him

#remember that time tarquin got a handjob from his dead demonic twin brother he ate in utero

#remember that time armand thought marius was jesus and then marius gave him a handjob

#REMEMBER BLOOD CANTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY

#does it make it harder or easier to write crack when your fandom is canonically this cracky

#its a moot point since theres so few vc fics anyway

#generally homosexual

merciful-death: [[ I can’t stop laughing at the tags.  You are a beautiful person. ]]

#also remember that one time lestat had sex with a nun and ate a chick out on her period in front of david and armand

#and that one time armand would make daniel have sex with random people so he could watch from the corner

#or that time pandora told marius that his vampire gift should have give him a bigger penis rather than a bigger ego

#what a wonderful series

elurins added: 

I just laughed really obnoxiously oh my fucking god those tags.

Blood Canticle is just something I pretended didn’t happen though omfg it was so, so, so bad. it was a bad crack fic in itself omfg

#the vampire chronicles #this fucking series man oh my god

Cloudsinvenice added:

Guys, it is a crime and a sin that the reblog process has cut off the entire tag list, because the canon in the VC is far weirder than the crack in most other fandoms. Seriously, go read the whole thing in its surreal beauty. 

#what happens in venice stays in venice  #vampire chronicles  #handjobs are the vampire handshake  #apparently 

demonpyromaniac added:

We all like to pretend that didn’t happen. It wasn’t even a bad crack fic that was hilariously bad either.

#crack #blood canticle #that book was so bad omg

[[Clouds, I had to restore this fabulous thread in its surreal beauty bc the link u had was broken. i didn’t include tags from reblogs w/out comments, but whatever, this was WELL WORTH THE EFFORT]]

#ACCURATE #Reblogging for the tags and comments. #This is definitely one of my All Time Favorite VC discussion posts ever and I’m not even part of it. #bc it is Perfection
