I Had An Idea For The Heat Stroke Trend And Ummmmmmmmmm

i had an idea for the heat stroke trend and ummmmmmmmmm

please tell me IWTV fans aren’t being nasty about the dumb Taylor Swift feud thing that happened on Twitter. As a fan of both please try to be kind to each other given recent events. I really hate our fandom reputation, I swear most of us are normal and know how to use our brains.

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

I made an Interview with the Vampire font

As testement to my mental illness and 30+ year obsession with these vampires, I went and made a font from the lettering used in the tv show.

I've never made a font before, but I'm proficient in Adobe Illustrator, so after hunting down all the letters in the credits (in both weights!), I hand traced all the glyphs, and aligned and trued the various points. That actually wasn't too bad - the more time consuming part was creating from scratch all the symbols and numbers that weren't included in the credits at all (and I'm pretty happy with everything but the @ symbol tbh!)

It's a captal-only font, with the default being the thick version, and if you install the additional RueRoyale-Thin.otf, you'll get the thinner version in all caps, too.

Because I had a bunch of the ornate lettering and the little Immortal Universe logo already vectorised for vinyl cutting, I added those in as easter eggs, too. I've tried my best to included all the accented upper case characters for the foreign fans, but I've probably missed something, and I had to stop somewhere... If you see something horribly wrong though, please tell me in the comments.

You can download the font (2x .otf files, at under 1MB total) here.

This is a fan-created font, for fans to use FREE OF CHARGE, so I'm hoping that keeps AMC's lawyers off my tail. If you use it and want to credit it, please link back to the original tumblr post here in case I need to make any updates on it. Enjoy! ❤️
