Fan fiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of by the folk.

yepviaticumforthemarquise replied to your post: do you think that, after so many books by the Coven of the Articulate, some Talamasca Members started shipping the vampires?
//100% yes. This is the beginning of half of their trouble. Just think, if you could meet your OTP, what might happen?
Just imagine 30 pages of elaborate essays on why one pairing is more canon than another with hundreds of references throughout the different books
//OMG No stop, that’s hilarious. Because I’m pretty sure you are correct. They probably have whole sections of the vampire division dedicated to all of this. Long charts of who has fucked who over the centuries…
SPOILER: all lines just lead to Lestat.

^True facts.
And how psyched was David to get added to that tracking document?! He would never admit to it but you know, deep down, he fangirled over himself/Lestat. At some point. Probably.
Do you ever have suCH A GOOD FAN FICTION IDEA
AND THEN
YOU CAN’T FUCKING WRITE IT BECAUSE THIS IDEA IS SO GOOD IT DESERVES AT LEAST 65,293 WORDS AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T GIVE IT THAT.
YASSS ;A; (also you FIND SUCH A GOOD FAN FICTION AND IT IS UNFINISHED SINCE FOREVER WITH NO HOPE OF COMPLETION)(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE)
googled “dog swearing” and wasn’t disappointed
His fucking look of determination. Like, “you’re going to fucking jail Greg.”
ooc; Mojo swearing in to testify against Louis for his abuse of both himself and Lestat when Lestat was in the mortal body
“you’re going to fucking jail Louis.”
The reasons people give for disliking Tom Cruise are getting fucking ridiculous now; it’s as though they just wanna join the train and for some reason think it’s “cool“ to hate him.
I know, right?! You should ALL read this article by Amy Nicholson. It’s not nearly enough, but it provides a compelling argument for "How YouTube and the Internet Killed Tom Cruise, America’s Last Movie Star” ;n;
The women in the Vampire Chronicles are so alpha though, like think about it, the guys all sit around crying and writing in their diaries and the women go around blowing shit up and killing motherfuckers with their bare hands, like they are consistently the harder, stronger, more aggressive members of the species
Akasha, Maharet, Mekare, Gabrielle, who fucks with that
NOBODY
lmao the vc fandom doesn’t even need to make everybody queer
// Let me also add that these are also facts about the Vampire Chronicles:
There isn’t (nearly) a single character who wouldn’t do any of the other characters.
Monogamy is a unicorn.
So it’s just gay all over the place, mixed with blood and death. Blood and gay often feature together.
I have won the “person who can stay with Lestat the longest and maintain their sanity” competition.
#True facts
“People of the Page” is how AR addresses all the people who follow/comment/Like her FB page, but more specifically… it’s her army.
Hold up, let me clarify. I, for example, “Like” AR’s FB page, so I see her posts on my FB feed. I like to read them, and sometimes I Like them, or comment.
The difference between me (i.e. part of the non-PotP VC fandom) and the real “People of the Page” is that they are fervently devoted to her and defend her at the slightest provocation w/out question (sometimes that’s good). For example, the big Amazon review conflagration. I actually haven’t read up on that whole thing so I don’t know exactly what happened.
ANYWAY, the bottom line is that these PotP often side with her on the NO FANFIC issue (and other issues that AR holds dear), which comes into direct conflict with the rest of the VC fandom, who DO support fanfic, etc.
So we might never reconcile our relationship w/ the PotP but we can coexist with them. Hope that helped!
ooc; I think the thing that bugs me the most about the “People of the Page” is how quick they are to become an army of actual bullies? Once upon a time, when Mater got bad reviews, she’d actually go on Amazon herself and throw a tantrum. She’d attack her own fans if they did something she disagreed with (ie: fanfiction). More recently, she’s tended to not be the aggressor herself. She’d post “look at this negative review” and encourage “discussion.” Many of the “People of the Page” would then jump to her immediate support.
An example that comes to mind is this time she linked to an independent blogger’s page. The blogger had not fancied Pandora, so rather than waste the book, she made the pages into paper crafts. I can’t remember the exact wording, but Mater said something to the extent of, “This person disliked Pandora so much that they found it necessary to cut it to pieces. Comments most welcome.” Tons of people flooded this indie blogger’s page and left her disgusting comments about how she was not enough of an intellectual to “understand” AR’s writing and comparing the reviewer to a Nazi. Rather than, idk, stop the bullying since AR now claims to champion anti-bullying, she applauded the “discussion.”
Legit the People of the Page sometimes act like the Cult of AR or something.
Wow.
I….
Wow.
YES, thank u for the excellent addition, merciful-death. I’d forgotten about the Pandora thing, which is a much better example. I was putting it very delicately, but yes, the real terror is the sense that they are her unquestioning army of minions and can do damage by the sheer amount of them. Now I can really use this post as a resource in the future when anyone asks the difference between PotP & the rest of the VC fandom.
