we don’t give little Andrei enough credit for being the most bad ass mf to ever live. His father is actively beating him and verbally abusing him and this stone cold killer is unphased pulling out his crazy comebacks no hesitation
Seeing Andrei be a little asshole makes me sad weirdly enough. he was just such a character. not only was he an extremely skilled hunter and miracle working painter + child genius but he was witty and a bit of a big mouthed dick and strong willed and full of life. Like he could’ve been so much and any chance of a life was robbed from him from the start
I'm not just a "mortal Daniel wears glasses" truther. I also think as an immortal, he starts wearing tinted glasses--yellow or violet lenses, maybe--to help disguise the inhuman appearance of his eyes. Daniel in glasses forever!
They enjoy to share a heart from a fresh victim and playing some scenes from Romeo&Juliet. Marius loves to watch patiently, knowing it will end in his bed…
We're still a ways off from the premiere of series two of AMC+'s INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, so the streamer wants us to remember our vamps by releasing snippets every week or so.
Just one week to go. As a reminder, we have four prompts per week.
We have a Collection on AO3 if you want to add your short fics to it if/when you post them there: VC Microfic May AO3 Collection.
When you're posting your fic, just search "VC Microfic May" under collections and the option should appear (my computer refused to screenshot it appearing but I promise it does 😂):
Some FAQs:
Does My Fic Have to Be Under 1000 Words?
No! The goal is to write fics between 100 and 1000 words but it's okay to go a little over (or a little under). This isn't a contest, it's just a fun fandom event, we're all here to have a good time. I'd rather see your fic at 1200 words than have you agonizing trying to cut 200. Also, word counts vary in different software, so your fic might show 1000 words on one program, and then A03 might say it's 1011 or something. Don't sweat it!
Do I Have to Use All the Prompts Per Week?
Not at all! You can write 1 fic with 1 prompt, 4 fics with a different prompt each, or you can combine the prompts and write a fic with several prompts. And the weeks are guidelines as well! If you see a prompt in week 4 you want to combine with a prompt from week 2, go for it! Again, this is just for funsies, and to inspire creativity, none of these rules are hard and fast.
As a reminder, here are the prompts:
Text prompts beneath the cut!

Some people don’t get that when a story “race bends” a white character to a poc it can make their character arc richer because alot of people see race bending as just “woke snowflake liberal propaganda” or whatever and not a storyteller looking find a deeper, more nuanced meaning to an already established character.
Like in the Carrie musicals she was always played by a white girl and then in one small production a black girl was casted to play her and all of a sudden everything about her shifted. It wasn’t just about an awkward girl being bullied it was about an awkward black girl being bullied and targeted because she was black in a predominantly white school. It wasn’t just about a girl being fed up with being bullied and taking her anger out on her classmates, it was also about how black girls constantly have to hide their anger in a time of their life when they’re supposed to be emotional. Her relationship with her mom and being beaten and forced into Christianity literally like a slave. Everything is suddenly more deeper now and it made me like Carrie even more while also making me be a little more critical of the original.
So people asking “If show and book Louis are the same then why do you like show Louis more but hate book Louis” it’s because his character is deeper now that he’s black and because of that I can see the flaws in the way book Louis was written. Also because he’s a slave owner. 💀
