hi hi hi, I don’t exactly have a question but I just wanted to drop in real quick and compliment this coffee shop AU ;u; I’m new to this fandom and it’s sad to see so little fan activity, but this little gem is just so precious and makes up for it; it’s uplifting to see it regularly updated and cared about and I just wanted to (immensely) thank you for writing about these drama queens~ <3

Welcome to our little corner of tumblrand, and mon dieu, a compliment like this is pure gold. PURE GOLD. As is our AU! Pure gold ;D

[X @yallpacinowhen you find a really good alternative universe fanfiction]

If you love our Signature Blend, @wicked-felina also has another great VC AU (WIP) you should check out, The Grim Brothers. It’s a “VC take on Red Riding Hood,” as heartfelt and fun as our AU, it was one of the first AUs I really loved ❤

Hit the jump for more, cut for length.

“and it’s sad to see so little fan activity,”

Yeah, the war on fanfic crushed us in the 90′s + AR’s war on her fandom (and critics in general) in the early 2000′s drove us all underground, and only recently are things picking back up. We are making fanworks tho, you can check out our recent blast of them from our @vcsecretgifts exchange, the #2016 VC Secret Santa… and also:

“but this little gem is just so precious and makes up for it; it’s uplifting to see it regularly updated and cared about and I just wanted to (immensely) thank you for writing about these drama queens~ <3″

Merciiiii! We are loving writing it, too, some of the scenes, it’s as if we’re right there with them, witnessing the drama firsthand. I’m not sure I can let @wicked-felina go back to writing her solo stuff too soon after this is finished… 

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)

sometimes i get new followers and i’ll look at their blogs and literally nothing about me should appeal to them

but i’ve just realized i’m their shame blog

i’m the blog they follow to hide their secret interests

welcome my lost children, it is okay, do not shy away from the light that i have to offer you

Just wanted to say that you have an amazing blog! When I first finished IWTV and TVL I feared any fandom that had grown out of these amazing books had long since died. Low and behold this amazing blog turned up on the first google search! I’ve never seen such a positive and artistically gifted fandom with such a nice and thoughtful mod. Thank you for really spreading the love!

Merci beaucoup mon pamplemousse!  Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland ^______^

What a lovely thing to say *flails* Hard to believe this blog is a top google result, that is some kind of accomplishment indeed! The truth is that the VC fandom has been alive and well for a looooong time, but hiding from the light of day due to AR’s war on fanfic during the 90′s. We’ve all slowly come up out of the woodwork and Prince Lestat encouraged even more of us to step into the light, it ushered in the fresh blood, too: ppl who had seen one of the movies or read a few of the books AND NOW WE ARE ALL FRICKIN’ GATHERING HERE. TOGETHER AT LAAAAAST.

We really do have some unbelievably talented VC fanartists, writers, thinkers, RPers, cheerleaders, musicians (yes musicians, too!), etc. I consider myself an addict of all of it, and I curate it all so we can all squee over it, be inspired by each other, and most importantly, MAKE MOAR. 

What a great platform this is, with the ease of fanwork sharing, whether it’s fanmix, fanart, fanfic, meta discussion, RP, VC news linkage, and so much more. What an incredible time to join the fandom, right when it’s having its greatest renaissance in the fandom’s history ❤ 

Messages like yours keep this blog a-thrive. See what I did there? omg i am the Queen of Cheese. WHATEVER IT’S CUTE AS HELL & I AM CUTE AS HELL

uh hi.I adore your blog, its funny and real cool. When I was little I can remember watching IWTV and QOTD (queen of the damned.Justincase) With my parents, and that totally got me into all the cool Vampire stuff. I’ve been in love with vampires and werewolves and all that,since. Your blog makes me Adore Louis and Lestat even more.

Bonjour Felicity! Thank you for such lovely compliments *u* YOUR PARENTS got you into this mess? omg I am so jealous, I tried to get my parents to watch IWTV (they actually did read books #1-2 and seemed to like them) but they were basically:

#I love these kind of stories

Can you recommend me some other blogs dedicated to the Vampire Chronicles? I’d like to know other people who have my same passion!

Hellloooo welcome to our little corner of tumblrland! You’re a VC Fandom Hunter ;]

Apparently you do know where to find us, I’ve seen your question on other blogs (merciful-death and lestatdelight), which have kindly directed you to me, also ❤ They answered well, I’ll second them on their recs, and add moar bc I know you’re all insatiable:

(BTW not mentioning more RP blogs bc I try not to play favorites, but you can find them in some of these links)

Specifically VC blogs (in no special order):

Other blogs that often mention VC or other vampire or gothic yumminess:

You can also try these tags for RPers, headcanons, fanart, ppl looking for other VC Fandom ppl, and such in the VC fandom:

Also you should watch Only Lovers Left Alive and What We Do in the Shadows, two awesome recent vampire movies.

“This is a shoutout to all of the newer fans who have come on tumblr and live-blogged their first time reading the books or shared their as-they-read impressions and feels as they work their way through the series. We can’t reread the VC for the first time again, but we can live vicariously through those who do.

Thanks for bringing fresh blood and fresh eyes to this fandom and giving us all things to discuss and talk about. Thanks for letting us all flail and screech along with you. Welcome to the fandom. Thanks for coming.”

//Holy moley! Welcome back, VC_P! I wrote this shoutout about a million years ago but it’s still true. Nice to see new blood in the fandom and to get fresh perspectives. It’s really nice to see VC_P back in action. 

Wait, is this supposed to be anonymous? Oh well. I’d make a lousy superhero.
