dead but delicious

thank you so much :') that people are still finding it and enjoying it continues to astound, amaze, etc.

I wish I knew any thoughts to share! I never know how or what to talk about when it comes to things I've written. in lieu of any deep thoughts, some fun facts:

the whole fic is structured like a traditional romance novel. if you enjoyed the drama and third-act-breakup, you may enjoy that section of the bookstore. when armand says, "it's a romance," he's also talking about the story he's currently in! the swapping of genres is what this fic is built upon.

there are a few scenes throughout iwtv where daniel reads out loud from his own books. i listened to those on repeat for ages trying to get the cadence of his writing style down so I could write the afterword in ch5 properly, only for the s3 teaser to tease the in-universe iwtv book, which now has a totally different writing style. I'm not bitter about it at all!!!

there was a decently long sequel mostly written centering daniel's book tour and his interviewing of lestat for tvl, but I cannot for the life of me write lestat well so that went away. eventually i will edit and post the short oneshot sequel from daniel's daughter's POV that I am mostly happy with!
