Hi. Now that there’s a tv series project going on, the movie must’ve been cancelled, right?? Because after so many years of silence, i can’t accept the fact that we might have a movie AND a tv series.

Dude, since I don’t count movie!QOTD (yes I was excited about it when it was announced, and when it was filming, but then… not so into it when I saw it), I’ve been waiting since ‘94 for another adaptation, so I’m just sitting here like:

But every time AR posts about it, yeah, I still get at least a little excited bc I am easy to please and it’s difficult to disappoint me. CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ALWAYS.

As far as I know, yes, the movie was cancelled. But AR has the rights to VC now and is developing just the TV series for now. She and Chris had written the script for a movie, so they still have that if they want to do a TV series leading into a movie. The X-Files was a TV series that had two movies and then went back to being a TV series much later.

For more on this, check out my #Expectations for the adaptations, #VC News tag (ppl keep me informed of stuff so I can post it here!) and the Official VC FB page.

Have you met Christopher Rice?

I did! I don’t have pics, but I met him at a booksigning. He’s a wonderful dude. I don’t have a specific story to tell. Just a good human being *u*

I think my fave Chris Rice story is the one he posted on FB ages ago, a childhood memory:

^I love it when fanworks inspire other fanworks ❤ And @sheepskeleton informed me that her fanart was based on this RP thread between @damnitarmand and @vagabonddaniel <333

This evening I wrote a 1,800 word review of ’Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis’ that quotes Rousseau, which was some distraction from the headachey fatigue at the tail end of this damned virus.

I am pleased you’re distracting yourself and feeling somewhat better – long may it continue – and very pleased you’ve posted your review here, because I wanted to share it with @i-want-my-iwtv and this makes it easier. It’s a very well-written review!

Oh cool! Thanks @katzenfabrik. I enjoyed @bluestockingcouture’s review, even tho I haven’t finished reading PLROA myself (I love being spoiled tho, so no worries there). 

Yes, ppl, send me links to your PLROA reviews, I want to make a masterpost. 

I guess you’d say I’m as new as they come since I’ve just watched Interview With A Vampire, right now I’m curious as to what did Lestat do or where did he go after he got control of the car?

Bonjour! (Ok so now that you’ve set foot past the threshold, you’re going to have to read the books to really get involved in this fandom. There’s far too much in canon that’s not in movie!IWTV.)

But for funsies let’s consider it: Where did Lestat go and what did he do after he got control of the car? Well, geographically, he was heading away from San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge and dawn was approaching rapidly, so he would’ve had to stop and find shelter on the other side ASAP. He probably had to bury himself somewhere in the Kirby Cove Campground. I don’t think he would’ve had enough time to turn Daniel that night. Maybe he tied Daniel up somewhere nearby, or maybe Daniel agreed to stand by and keep watch for the day? FANFIC/FANART REQUEST.

[X] So technically, and I hate to break it to ya, but Lestat *riding off into the sunrise* w/ Daniel is not canon. They added that to the end of the movie to end on a lighter note than they might have otherwise. 

In the book, Daniel goes looking for Lestat in NOLA and finds Armand instead, hilarity ensues. 

Plot and ships would have had to shuffle around to accommodate a Lestat/Daniel ship. I ship them as a BroTP, if that does anything for ya. 

So now: read the book!

Which character from the series would you say is a ENFJ?

I haven’t studied the MBTI personality theory well enough to do this, so I can’t say 😛

[^X] I’ll open this up to everyone else to answer, tho!

Also, I think it could be interesting if ppl take the Personality Test in a character of their choice and let me know the results, and see if multiple ppl get the same result for specific characters. Do the thing!

(But I also feel like applying human psychology may not be so easy to do to vampires… they are people first and vampires second, but we know that the way they experience and process emotions changes post-turning. It seems like their emotions are especially volatile as fledglings for some amount of time.)

Eyy! (This is about the reading the books in order post) I’m kinda thinking about just reading the books out of order too, I skipped Memnoch so I could read TVA, and then I’m going to read Blood and gold, cause I’m super excited to read about my boy Marius. He and Armand are my favorites. I wholeheartedly recommend that people who want to read about their favorites before going over the other stuff to read the books out of order if they want to.

Sure! Whatever order works for you is fine. Several of the books offer a different POV on previously described events anyway. Pandora also has Marius, don’t skip her account of things 😉
