But if I write an Interview with a Vampire fanfic, whatshername flips shit.


IMHO, Anne Rice lost every single inch of ground she had on the "I hate fan fic" issue when she wrote what is essentially Bible fan fic several years ago (The "Christ the Lord" stories, for anyone curious).

Thisssssss so much this. (Though I would argue it was more Catholic fanfic than Bible fanfic.)

Same diff. Still essentially fanfic.

Yeah, now that you mention it, you're right: it's more Catholic fan fic than anything else.

(To be fair, it appears Anne Rice has softened her stance on fan fic in the last couple years, if what's said on her Fanlore article is true. I have to wonder if being called out for her hypocrisy over the years since the 'Christ the Lord' books came out had anything to do with it)

It's because fanfic writers interrogate her text from the wrong perspective.

IA. It was rather silly of her to throw a tantrum in the first place when she's writing about creatures lifted from the folklore of eastern europe and popularized by authors like Bram Stoker.

[personal profile] ex_mek82 2014-03-10 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ah'yup. It can be argued that any authors using vampires and folklore creatures is essentially fan fic of those legends (and in the case of drawing inspiration from Bram Stoker, using elements -headcanon? fanon?- popularized by certain authors), much in the same way one could argue that paintings of the Greek Gods or Biblical figures is/could be essentially fan art.

(But that's another debate for another day, haha)
