do you know of any active VC rp groups? :)

Y’know, I only recently learned about LJ/DW RP groups for other fandoms, but not ours. It’s not like that here in Tumblrland. Not as organized, which is both good and bad. Good because anyone can try, but bad because no one is obligated to RP with a new person.

I’ve been here in Tumblrland for a few years now, I’ve seen RPers come and go, I’ve seen VC RP directories born and abandoned, the RPers that are active at any given time tend to find each other and RP loosely. A thread here or there. Casual banter. That kind of thing. Because we all have Real Life, and that often interrupts more reliable/frequent (or longer) RP threads.

However, I would suggest you check out my tags below, you might find some active RPers that way. What you need to do is find an active RPer or two and peruse their archive, see who they interact with, and if you want to engage them, send them a private message and try to start a thread. You can also post RP memes, which you’ll find on other RPer’s archives. I think there are also tumblr blogs just for RP memes (starters and such for threads).

VC blogs/RP directories that may or may not be active, but you might find currently active RPers listed on them:

Hi i was wondering if you know any good Interview with the vampire fanfiction. I’m finding it very hard to find any fanfiction. Thanks x

Fanfic?? there’s no such thing as VC fanfic… pfffft. What are you crazy honestly??!

^Lestat is laughing bc he knows I is sarcastic.

In short, Anne Rice had waged war on VC fanfic in the mid-90s, sic’ing her lawyers on many fanfic writers, eventually breaking apart fanfic sites (“speculative fiction” or “spec” archives/communities) and driving many of these writers to stop writing altogether or do so in a more underground way.

Currently, she’s had conflicting stances on fanfic, but hasn’t made outright war at nearly that level. We try not to tag her in discussions of it, basically, we don’t try to provoke her by making our caches of VC fanfic known. Especially on Facebook, where she’s very active and might see it. She posted this on her FB in 2014 (I think):

Archive of Our Own (aka AO3) should satisfy you. Lots of good things about that site, one of which is the ability to bookmark/download/comment/kudos fics. They also have a mission statement about protecting these fanworks from copyright infringement arguments.

There’s also fanfiction.net, which I haven’t really tried, ppl say it’s good. 

You can try my #fanfic tag here, in which I’ve collected some that have made their way to tumblrland.

Also, explore the VC RP community here on tumblr, their threads are a form of fanfic. We don’t really have a wide-spread active VC RP directory but you can start with the vcdirectory (not updated currently, but there may still be some blogs on there to peruse), vcpositivity, and withinthesavagegarden.

“Sending a shoutout to all of the quiet people who slip in and out of the fandom leaving comments and positive energy, thinking that they’re invisible or unnoticed. You’re not. You are noticed and you are valued. Thank you for being here, maintaining your presence, and for supporting others. Thank you for contributing to this vibrant community and everything that you do.”

that’s really nice! Q^Q
and as a person who feels directed with have to thank whoever wrote this! :3

Yes, this is directed at you! Among others ❤

“All the props to thelionscrimsonclaws . Their Lestat is magnificent and completely on point. It really is like Lestat himself made a blog and they seem to stay in character most of the time outside of rp-replies as well, which is impressive dedication to the character.”

Oh! My thanks to someone for pointing out this tender morsel to me…..I’m really quite oblivious sometimes!

You’re damned right, Anonymous Reader! How do you know that I’m not? *fiendish grin*

And I hear an echo from the past…
“Now he will really be impossible! ”

“I’ve know primusdux ’s writer for quite some time now and I love love love them. Easily one of the sweetest and kindest individuals that you will ever encounter on this website. Not only are her character portrayals brilliant and her threads a joy to read – she is such a joy to speak to outside of character. I’m so so honoured to call her my friend and I can tell that will last for quite awhile! Lots of loave, girl! ;)”

“Shout out for Queen of the dammed for ending with Louis and Lestat making out in a graveyard and the Lestat saying “let’s go terrorize and old man and then I’ll buy you a coat” which they then do, a sequence of events that never fails to make me laugh and never fails to get s reaction out of non-VC fans when I summarize that ending as such”

“One thing about this fandom that’s different from every other fandom I’ve been in is how almost everyone seems so incredibly creative. Seriously, nearly every blogger is ready and willing to draw something, write something, produce a photoset, etc. There’s no separation between fanwork producer and fanwork consumer like there usually is in a fandom. And I’ve never seen newcomers being ridiculed for a perceived lack of talent or inexperience.”
