Do NOT trust Anne Rice

Hello, Vampire Chronicles fans.

Sit down. We need to have a chat.

You see, while some people are very much excited for a new show about our pompous king of the assholes (and I say this as a term of endearment, having loved Lestat since I was a depressed teenager living in New York, shuffling through my mom’s fiction section) we need to pause and remember this:

Anne Rice does not support fan fiction or anything that is not glowing praise.

Read it again, slowly.

Anne Rice does not support fan fiction or anything that is not glowing praise.

This is difficult for younger fans to understand, but let’s take a walk down memory lane.

She has threatened to sue writers in the past. She is one of the most prolific writers of our generation, and she does not support people using her characters for their own work.

In fact, in 2000 she went on a binge-attack against her fans. She threatened legal action against fans who wrote or drew her characters, but especially those who wrote with them. She sent them weeks of harassing letters and doxxed them on the internet.

Let me repeat that.

She doxxed people who wrote fan fiction.

She harassed them online and threatened to contact employers.

She used her fans to outright attack other fans.

This isn’t even something she can just shake off now, with the comment of “It was so long ago” because she did this to a writer who wrote commentary on her story in 2013.

In 2013.

While it was not that she wrote fan fiction, she still shows that she has no respect for people who are in fandom.

Remember those disclaimers used in fan fics, at the beginning? “I do not own …. ”? Yeah, a lot of that has to do with the fact that Anne Rice and others like her would attack fandoms and threaten them, and was in hopes that they would just leave us alone. She didn’t.

In short: Do not trust Anne Rice. I love her writing, I have read every book she has even written, but I do not trust her.

You shouldn’t, either.

Anne Rice was and still is a bully. Don’t support her work.

Huh

Don’t not take this seriously either. She hunted down fan fictions on small privately hosted web pages as well. She doesn’t care if you put the disclaimer in the top.

She hates fan fiction and WILL try to sue you. DO NOT think this is a joke, real people received real legal paperwork from her. And this happened about ten years ago, so it wasnt a super long time ago.

Anne Rice isn’t the only one in this club. Diana Gabaldon has compared fanfiction to putting her characters into “white slavery.” George R. R. Martin has also spoken out about fanfiction, but Rice takes the cake for rejecting any criticism of her work along with banning any and all fanfiction based on her work.

However, according to copyright law fanfiction is considered a transformative work, and therefore is considered fair use.

Support the Organization for Transformative Works, who “serve the interests of fans by providing access to and preserving the history of fanworks and fan culture in its myriad forms.”

Texas is officially considered a toss up state this election so if you live in Texas, please, please, please, pLEASE for the love of God and all that is holy, go out and vote for Hillary Clinton, do not deny me the pleasure of watching Texas turn blue.

A wounded bear is a dangerous thing. Detested and defeated, Donald Trump is now in a tear-the-country-down rage. 

The Republicans who sat silently while Trump was vile, until they suddenly discovered their patriotism and conscience last weekend, do not get a pass. They built him, starting in 1968 with the Southern Strategy, and they strengthened and empowered him with the rise of right-wing hate radio and Fox “news”.

Donald Trump will lose this election, but he needs to lose in a landslide. He needs to lose by huge margins, so that he is humiliated and unambiguously rejected by the decent people in our country. 

Donald Trump, and everything he represents, must be repudiated on November 8th, so talk to your friends and neighbors, get involved in your community, and get as many people out to vote for Secretary Clinton as you can. We must show Donald Trump and everyone who empowered him that we reject everything he stands for, and that we know we are stronger together

Thank you!

Told ya to stop thinking about a third party.

STOP THINKING ABOUT THIRD PARTY

Stop thinking about THIRD PARTY

STOP THINKING ABOUT THIRD PARTY

the 538 gender split electoral maps are striking, but there’s an even starker divide that, as a white feminist, i don’t think we white people can ignore

made using 583′s swing the election interactive and 270 to win

i remember back in 08, and again in 12 actually, black voters outnumbered white! aso theoretically, if most african americans, and most women (of any and all races) get those number up come voting time, it should be a blue landslide

i hope it’s a blue landslide

Me, realizing that Hillary is the obvious best candidate for presidency of the two, but also realizing that she’s not the person I ideally want in office and that American elections are a sham of corporate greed and the funny memes only cover up how frustrated we all are:

you could vote Gary Johnson or Jill Stein…

Me, remembering that voting third party is a complete waste of a vote and that not voting for Hillary can give Trump a very real chance at winning the White House, and Jill Stein has zero probably of winning and that Gary Johnson is a Libertarian:

these are all from within the last 2 days

anyway, as the release date of dr strange approaches, here’s a couple of things i wanna get straight on where i stand:

1) if you wanna go financially support this dumpster fire of a movie, you do you, but don’t go back and call yourself an anti-racist ally afterwards. not watching the movie literally isn’t gonna cost you anything; financially supporting it means choosing to support a hugely dehumanising piece of media that you can easily boycoytt without any detriment or nuisance to yourself.  

1.5) seriously, even if you’re a diehard fan of the original comics/the actors/whatever, pirate it or something. hq (ish) marvel torrents usually take like a couple of weeks to leak these days.

2) if you’re not asian or chinese, stop speaking over chinese and other asian ppl talking about it, especially tibetans who were erased and whitewashed, especially tibetans talking about chinese communist government’s oppression of the tibetan people (i’m looking really hard @ all the tumblr communists who had the fucking gall to derail the actual, lived experiences of a tibetan user to spew the bullshit communist apologism)

3) i don’t care how many PoC Friends of Colour you have or photoshoots of PoC of Colour you reblog, if you’re white and repeatedly speak over poc in fandom talking about what is/isn’t racist, you’re still an ugly fucking racist lmao. 

have a nice day :)

thank u for this, a lot of doctor strange posts dont really talk about how whitewashing directly affects tibetan politics and oppression, so i feel like this post is rly important for people to see. a lot of communists and maoists reblogged my post about doctor strange saying extremely violent and racist things about tibet that were so upsetting that i couldnt bring myself to interact with them or write a post about it…so i appreciate you bringing that up

This is an actual tweet, from an actual police station..

ALL FOUR OF THOSE MEN ARE NAMED CHRIS FUCK

And his wastrel son says Trump won’t release his tax records because it would raise a lot of questions or whatever and that would be inconvenient or something, so shut up.

But CNN keeps telling us that the Clintons are the secretive ones so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Watch: In searing speech, Obama exposes yet another horrifying side of Donald Trump

have I mentioned lately I fucking love “my terms’re up so I say whatever the fuck I want” Obama?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS, MY PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!! DRAG ‘EM!!!!!!

yes. Yes. MORE
