From the fans who fell into VC since before my time, to the fresh blood (heh heh) who are just wading into it w/ us now, you’ve all made my tumblr experience so rich, I can’t even properly express how blown away I am on a daily basis how many of you send me such lovely messages and intriguing asks, and fanart, etc. and just… how, with your input, this blog has become the blog I wanted to find for all the years I searched for one. Thank you all for laying your affections w/ me over this pile of dysfunctional vampires!
So in the absence of a Follow Forever I’m doing a giveaway ^u^
I bought a few copies of VC books, and I will send them anywhere in the world as long as you have an address I can post snail mail to (and that you’re willing to share your address with me, of course!). The winners will be drawn randomly from ppl who reblog this post.
5 books up for winning: IWTV (gold hardcover), the Witching Hour (large paperback, it’s VC adjacent bc of the later crossover books), IWTV (paperback), TOBT (paperback w/ dual covers), Merrick (paperback). I may add a few more winnable things to this.
Winner also gets a personal handwritten message from me in the book or separately on a card. Winner specifies.
I will contact the winners here on tumblr, so keep your ask/chat open. If I cannot reach you in 48 hours, I will have to pick another winner :-
Only Reblogs will count as entries, and only one per blog counts.
No “giveaway” blogs can win.
I will not be able to disburse tracking for the mail, sorries, but you can send me $ for it via paypal.
This giveaway ends July 29, 2016.
Thank you for again for validating my presence in the fandom here, sharing fanworks, headcanons, the RPers. You’re all wonderful and I feel lucky to have you following me!
*~*~*~*~Merci beaucoup and bonne chance!~*~*~*~*
BC of my absence this week I couldn’t reblog this ;A; so I’m extending it a bit longer, and throwing in 3 IWTV DVDs! They’re US-formatted, so NTSC.

//ooc; I have a policy of not singling out favorites as it often has the unintentional side effect of making those not mentioned feel left out 😛
We had a blog solely for that purpose, @vcpositivity, and also, for a similar purpose, @vcsecretgifts (which I helped to mod last holiday season and I still owe a substitute gift on!! My fic muse for it has not been cooperating). @vcpositivityhad posted over two hundred positive confessions from members of this fandom in the five months since it opened, but had to go inactive shortly after achieving that milestone *cries*
Those blogs still have great messages of VC fandom love pointing out the best points of specific ppl in the fandom here (sadly, some those mentioned are currently inactive). Both positivity blogs are now pretty much dormant, but I hope we can resurrect @vcsecretgifts for this upcoming holiday season :]
However, it appears to me that our fandom is almost at a zenith of fanwork production right now, and the quality is also very high! Fresh fanart and fanfic are being made, analysis of the text continues to thrive, there is a palpable ripple of excitement (or anxiety, depending on your stance, lol) every time we get a scrap of news about the official VC adaptations.
The VC RP community has fluctuated in activity but it’s active, and there are muses to play with. There are also excellent Original Character muses (vampires and non-vampires) in fic and RP. They’re very creative in how they blend in as if they were always part of the Ricean verse, and even expand the supernatural rules of it.
I would advise you to go to the RPers and ask for recommendations of other members. You could also try my #VC Fandom Hunters tag.
Anyone is welcome to reblog this post and throw positivity towards anyone, or send them an anon message! (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧
♛Of course I do! I’ve been answering my fans’ messages on this account, and on other accounts as well (Have to maintain a variety of them, so you don’t know which of these is the real McCoy, can’t put Louis’ safety in jeopardy and all that, you understand).
I’m deeply touched that my fans want to dig deeper and ask for more than I’ve already given, I never could have predicted that their ravenous thirst would only increase over time. They’re never satisfied! I also keep their beautiful artworks and writing and go through them whenever I need a little ego stroking *smirks*
That there is such a glut of other vampire media out there and my fans still demand my stories, over and over again, just goes to show that they’re not just into my species as a whole, but specifically, the tales revolving around my coven. I read Sam Spade comics for him specifically; I’m not drawn to all fictional detectives. Something about him and his allies and enemies was compelling. Probably like that for my fans, and is there anything more flattering than being preferred?
My will gives me the strength to continue on the Devil’s Road, but my fans give me the responsibility of being their driver. I know that they ride along with me, and they are always in the back of my mind. Some of them are backseat drivers and would prefer I respect things like the speed limit, but I’m very good at ignoring backseat drivers by now *winks*
Yeah, same here! (except that I don’t look like him at all *cries*) We can go along with him on his journey and gather the reasons for our own philosophical choices and see the mistakes and why he made them, and ask ourselves what we would have done differently, or the same, in his position.
He does have flaws, for sure. Flaws that could spiral anyone into depression. But his lust for life overrides everything ❤
And I think part of why we all love him against our own better judgment is that even when he royally fracks up, he gets back up, dusts himself off, and careens into the next car.
This is best!!! I’m so glad you liked it! The whole book series is straight up fabulous, and Anne Rice who writes them is such a sassy lady! Yikes I’m just so excited because I literally haven’t fan-girled over the Vampire Chronicles for YEARS.
Nearly 100% positive that @sheepskeleton is an actual 14th century vampire and @i-want-my-iwtv is an actual vampire scholar/Talamasca/X-Files Agent/Whatever supernatural research center she’s keeping secret.
oh no, why.. would.. you… even… think… that?
I knew my face is not going to pass for a human in this damned century. What betrayed me?
-detailed knowledge of ancient history (so you’re probably older than my original guess)
-adoration for things that evoke strong mental reactions (gorgeous cityscapes, powerful pics of nature, luxuary fashion that emulates previous eras…)
-insane levels of attention to detail in works of art.
-unearthly outer beauty and genius-level intellect along with being artistically talented beyond belief.
Definitely a vampire.
No ok but this is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever heard??? I seriously do not deserve such compliments and also delivered in such a way, I am melting
@sheepskeleton is a vampire, confirmed. I know this bc… I am her MAKER.
