I don’t know how you manage this blog, it’s perfect and you’re so lovely, answering the asks so thoroughly…. So resourceful and reliable. Thank you so much

♥u♥ You’re so so welcome! I’m happy to serve in my own little way *stops self from getting all super mushy bc you’ve all heard it all before so i will put it in the tags*

I just got back in the VC fandom after almost a decade, for the first time doing it in English, and your blog just make me so glad I did! *w*

WELCOME BACK COME SUFFER WITH US

(different anon) I read all your posts about Anne Rice’s really strange views on her own characters (Gabrielle being a bad mother like bitch where!?) and I just decided to settle for not caring about AR’s opinions. She is just a human being, and I think me and her see the characters pretty differently, which shouldn’t prevent me from loving them on and on :D

#^THIS #AGREES AGGRESSIVELY

I, PERSONALLY, don’t need AR’s validation of my opinion on canon. We all have our own headcanon. We can all love the characters in our own way. A good story (or piece of music or art, or whatever) DOES make you “read between the lines,” it DOES make you curious. It leaves things open enough for you to fill in the blanks. It doesn’t need to explicitly state everything for you, and the author has no obligation to do so, either. This has been true ever since the very first story was ever told, the first artwork ever made.

Most of all, I’m forever grateful for the gift she has given us. I don’t have to agree with her to still feel that gratitude.

If you don’t like a character’s trajectory in canon, that’s what fanworks are for 😉 Just try to be respectful of each other, abide by the Fandom Laws and we can all enjoy it all together, which is what we all want, right?

Sorry, but this is me going to wear in April, guys! The hidden murder bro of Lestat. My love @honey-in-the-sunshine will wear the white shirt as Lestat himself as my companion ♡

@jealizing! Your tshirt’s in a new fanart 😀

paperworkninja reblogged your post and added:

So wait, I can come back? I can finally come back to my fandom and contribute fan works?! I was also around during the fanfiction purge, knew authors who were slapped with orders from Anne’s lawyers and helped hide secret archives of VC fic so this? This has made my day!

Yes! Welcome back to the party *u* It seems that Certain People are content to live and let live re: fanworks.

(But we are rational about it, we only post to sites like AO3 publicly; we still keep some things as They Must Be Kept, just in case…)

Dear Mater Fabuloso! Are you the infamous Fanfiction Writer Burnadette? If this is so, my Friend Diana Elisabeth Raum asked me to say thank you for posting her work yesterday and I should tell you that she really really loves your fanfictions! And I love them, too! Thank you for all the great stories from you from both of us. Many greetings from Germany!

YES thank u so much! I am the infamous Fanfiction Writer Burnadette (on AO3, shameless self-promotion). What a lovely compliment all the way from Germany! *flails*

more fic to come, if I can kick myself into doing it, and messages like these are definitely encouraging!

I have to turn this into a little appreciation post to Lady Diana Elisabeth Raum, because I’ve been meaning to do so: I LOOOOOOVE your fanart. LOVE. 

We are going to need to see all of your VC fanart. ALL ♥u♥

  

Start a tumblr or let @sam-biteback post it. Because your Lestat/Louis piece is one of my absolute favorites of them (and we need this in better scan quality so we can see the details better):

image

Louis: “What have you done this time, Lestat?”

Lestat: “Shhhh, Louis, let’s enjoy the silence of your not knowing… for a few more minutes.”

Louis: *siiigh*

And your illustration of Lestat on your Prince Lestat cover was wayyy better than what we got in the US or UK.

This male model… um… No. I know he’s trying but NO. And in the US all we got was a glossy font! NO illustration at all!

Okay so… I thought I was the only one in this world who liked the VC, but… God bless tumblr and your blog! I found you this morning & I’m so happy I’m not alone, I’m so happy I can talk with someone who loves Lestat too! Sorry my bad english :3

Merci beaucoup for the blessings, so happy u found us! *hugs tightly* AND ANOTHER SOUL IS CLAIMED BY THE VC FANDOM

(Your English is just fine, btw. We have butchered our own language w/ internet speak so badly that it’s a wonder we native English speakers/writers can communicate at all, lol)

I’m gonna cry, I can’t believe I found the most amazing VC blog!! I’ve been obsessed with it, and thought that few people cared abt it here on tumblr, but thankfully that isnt the case! Love your blog <3

Where? Where is this most amazing VC blog you speak of?!!

…Oh, it is mine ♥u♥ Thank u dear! As you can see, I am obsessed w/ it, too. For better or worse. Let Lestat tuck you in tonight:
