Have you ever wondered where the books would have gone if Miss Smith didn't sign that pesky contract back in the 90's?  Now thanks to some pretty amazing people, Miss Smith has finally found a loop hole to how she can continue the series!!!  They are considered "Fan Fiction" are not part of the "official series". "I’m very pleased to finally be able to make this announcement. As some of you probably know, Amazon has launched a new area called Kindle Worlds. This is a place where people can write fan fictions based on certain books, movies, shows, games, and music. The Vampire Diaries is one of the series that Amazon has obtained the li

New Contest from L.J. Smith Announced 10/18/13!

It's past time for a new contest, and Halloween is right around the corner. What could be more appropriate than a Vampire Diaries Contest that involves a coffin full of rotting old bones and scraps of mummified skin Goth/vampire romance mystery items? And this is no ordinary coffin! This is a gorgeous, luxurious leather shoulder bag / backpack that looks like the coffin of a vampire prince! The original coffin would certainly have been a hit with Vlad III, the Prince of Wa

New Fan Art Contest from LJ Smith ( @drujienna ):

Visit: www.ljanesmith.net to sign up for the forum 1st, then you can go directly to the thread where you need to post your ONE piece by clicking this link: http://www.ljanesmith.net/forum/contests/74871-new-l-j-smith-books-fan-art-contest

I’m really excited to announce this Fan Art Contest because I know many of my readers have been asking about such a contest and there’ so much amazing talent that’s been displayed on the Forum. Whether you’ve already shared your fan art or you’ve been waiting for just the right moment, now is your chance to showcase your best work! This contest is different from all of the previous contests because the winner will be chosen by you—that is to say everyone who visits this site and wishes to vote. There will be four phases to this contest. Phase 1: From now until August 1, 2013 contestants—meaning anyone in the world—will submit one piece of fan art to this thread. Please do not use this thread for conversations. There will be a separate thread for that. See under Questions below*. Phase 2: After August 1, 2013, I’ll make a post on this thread announcing that the contest is closed and voting can begin. Voting will now begin. Each person on the Forum can make a post listing their top three choices. You do not have to list these choices in any order. Voting will be open until September 1, 2013. Phase 3:The top five finalists will be announced on this thread and on the site by the Administrator. All five finalists should send an email to [email protected] acknowledging that they know they are finalists (this will also be explained on the site at the time of the posting). In the email you send, please include your name, full address and phone number. If you do not send your information to me within seven days the next runner up will be chosen as a finalist. The top five finalists will have their artwork posted on the main page of this site and a poll will be created in the right column of the page. For that poll, everyone is allowed to vote once every 24 hours. DO NOT attempt to vote more than that. Even if the system allows it, it will make a record of it and your vote will be discarded. This poll will close on September 30, 2013. Phase 4: Each of the five finalists will receive a bookplate autographed by L.J. Smith that they can affix in a book of their choice. The grand prize winner (whoever receives the most votes in the poll) will either receive an art kit (U.S. resident) or a gift certificate for $350 (non-U.S. resident). Who can enter: This contest is open to everyone, everywhere. Please note that winners outside of the United States will be getting a gift certificate because the art kit is far too heavy to ship anywhere else. As always, you will be responsible for any customs or duty taxes which may be levied by your government on the gift certificate. Questions: What type of artwork is acceptable? You can enter anything that is your original work and based on any of the books written by me, L. J. Smith. It can be a drawing, painting, photo-manipulation, computer created, sculpture, etc. You just need to be able to post a picture of it on this thread. Even if you have uploaded the picture elsewhere on this site, you must re-post it here in order to enter the contest. Can I enter fan art from the TV shows? Nope. No characters from the TV shows, no collages of the stars--this contest is for fan art from the books only. *Can I enter more than one piece? Each contestant can only enter one piece of artwork. However, feel free to create your own posts/polls, to get some opinions about which piece you should enter. Follow these links to learn how to create a post www.ljanesmith.net/forum/intro or a poll www.ljanesmith.net/forum/how-to Important Deadlines: Entering Artwork: Now – August 1, 2013 Voting in the Forum: August 2, 2013 - September 1, 2013 Site-wide Poll: September 2, 2013 – September 30, 2013

Good luck in the L. J. Smith Fan Art Contest!
