Helping a friend

gothiccharmschool:

Seattle-area peeps! A dear friend and her kitty are in need of housing help!
Do you have a spare room that a nice, geeky lady and her smart cat could stay in for a few (up to six) months? They come with about $200 a month to help with rent & bills. 

(I have a whole rant about the lack of a working social safety net in this country, but said rant won’t help my friend find a place to stay that doesn’t involve fostering her kitty and her couch-surfing.)

If you can help, or know of someone who can, please drop me a line in my Ask box. All signal boosting, prayers, spells, and general good thoughts are greatly appreciated, but especially the signal boosting..

Hey, I made a demographics survey for the vc fandom (for curiosity’s sake). Please fill it out if you have the time, and reblog so we can get more accurate results. I’ll post the results in a few weeks. Thank you!

This is a really interesting project and I’m looking forward to seeing the results! 

OuO Yes! Do this!

Vampire Chronicles Fandom Demographics Survey

~*~ VC Family Tree ~*~

VC Fandom request: Can someone make a new Family Tree based on the info from Prince Lestat? I’m 40% into that thing and Holy hell there’s a lot of family tree info!

I have this one from ages ago:

It’s useful for fic and such… If we are to believe any of the PL stuff is canon… We can pick and choooose.

I agree that there are too many new characters BUT it does open up the canon for fresh pairings and stories… and the RP/fanart/fanfic that goes with that.

Wow, I’m glad I’m not the only one with mixed feelings on Prince Lestat. It was better than Blood Canticle, but I am disappointed that there was so much exposition and that previous characters like Bianca and Eleni got over shadowed in favor of new characters. And we are not even starting on how my favorites died or how mad I am at the lack of Daniel/Armand

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. NOTHING TO ADD OR CORRECT HERE. 

I know who “Mater” is but why are they called that?

It’s short for Mater Glorioso, Latin for “Glorious Mother.” Not sure who or when first coined the term, but it’s the VC fandom’s loving and sarcastic way of paying tribute to the creator of the VC. 

There’s a hilarious, though inactive, parody blog for her called anne-christ, the archive is worth checking out!

Hey, fandom in/around Belfast! Want to see Interview with the Vampire on the big screen for its 20th anniversary? Want to see it introduced by Neil Jordan himself? It’s happening!

I’m so excited for this because remcovanstraten and I approached the Strand Arts Centre with the idea and they jumped at it – now we’re hoping to get the word out to as many fans as possible, so if you can share this we’d really appreciate it. 

I don’t know many VC fans locally, but I bet there’s more of us lurking in the shadows –  if this sounds like a great night out to you, all the info you’ll need is here:

And if you fancy donning your cosplay finery, so much the better!

I AM TEH JEALOUS omg… bumping this because I wish I could go!!! If anyone out there can go to this thing, DO IT! And report back to moi *u*
