Part 2 of A Vamp Chron Saga
Author's notes and jazz like that:
*Any* suggestions for a title would be greatly appreciated. *sigh*
My overwhelming thanks must go out to Claudel. It is she who has pestered me
nearly *daily*, and without a doubt weekly to write this damned thing. If
you are looking forward to reading this (for some strange reason...) thank
her.
ONPF people: If you want a new member, look up Claudel. She has gone over
and above the call of duty. *g* Don't listen to her protestations that she is
shy, sweet, and innocent. I know better. ;-) I must also thank Del for her
work on beta-ing my spec, giving me suggestions on where to make improvements
and such. She's done a great job. Thanks babe!
Deep thanks also to Cindy who helped me out with Coda. A lot. Thanks Cin!!
*hugs*
Official Disclaimers and stuff:
Characters of the Vampire Chronicles (Louis, Lestat, David, Santino, etc.)
are creations of Anne Rice and are her property and I think Random House's
too. Not quite certain about that, but I am just letting you guys know. I'm
not
actually borrowing these characters. See, I'm playing a game that students
and teachers play, called "What If". What if these things had happen? So, it
isn't an actual infringement. Think of it as a poetical theory. :-) I'm
expanding my mind, testing my abilities. Future generations shall groan
because of
it.
Let's see. I've got some Immortals, Highlander style in here too. Methos is
a creation of folks over the yonder way towards the Highlander: The Series
crew. William Panzer created the concept, Rysher does a horrendous job
marketing the series, but I can't really complain, since I got to meet Methos.
(Jeez!
All that because I mention his picture! Maybe I need to put a 2nd mention
in...) Aja and her ensuing madness and personality are my creation, but she's
Immortal. Her name is pronounced: AH-shjah. Like the 'g' in the French rouge.
Imogen is solely, completely, totally and without doubt her own property. I
would love to lay claim to her, but I really sometimes think that if I did so
she'd jump out at me and smite me. She tells me about her life sometimes,
and I write it down sometimes. It's a pretty good deal, actually. Imogen is
pronounced: Ihm-MO-jenn. Im is pronounced: Ihm.
Yes, we *are* getting closer to the actual writing. I've had a much harder
time piecing this part together than I did with the 1st one, because it does a
couple of time jumps forward by a few months, here and there. Sorry if it
gets annoying, but I think what I am going to do is for every time jump there
will be a new section, and for every major change in perspective (you should
understand *that* when you get to the section). (Oh, and if anyone gets the
insane desire to download this monster, it is set up so that if you download
this page and the individual sections, and keep them in the same folder then
you can hop back and forth on your hard drive. I aim to be pleasant.)
A little warning here, some of these sections may approach an "R" rating.
Please be mature minded. Running With the Light and Perchance are both right
up
there. Take this warning seriously. Running has vampiric situations between
consenting vampires and with Perchance I was going for disturbing. Claudel
tells me that I managed it. Possible rape warnings for that one.
So to give a bit of the background as to what has been going on in the
story. We pick up again four months after the first part left off. Louis and
Lestat have returned to New Orleans, but their lives are "back to normal" as
it
were. Translate that to mean that they have been fighting and arguing again.
(After all, *nobody* is saintly enough to live with Lestat for an extended
amount of time without yelling at him.) Is that enough? If it isn't, just
trust
me... things haven't been going well, and the fights *have* been building up.
(Please observe the dates to understand why there might be personality
changes in the characters!) On with the show... thanks for tuning in, LP.
