St. Louis 2024 —an LDPDL fan event
This October, we are celebrating our titular vampire's 147th birthday with a month-long creative challenge. This is the second edition of this event, and you can see the fan creations shared last year in the tag, here ►
How does this event work?
Louis's birthday is October 4th, so we have four broad prompts, and ten prompt quotes. Prompts have no assigned date, and they are meant to be interpreted freely.
Prompts
Love / Family
Memory / Art
Gender / Sexuality
Vampirism / Power
Quotes
"For the first time in my life, I was seen."
"I had powers now, and decades of rage to process…"
"Allow me my odyssey."
"The absence of metaphor is striking."
"Are we the sum of our worst moments?"
"She called me an angel."
"But the suit changes nothing."
"My rage had risen, followed closely behind by my madness."
"I’m companion enough for myself now."
"I didn't know it was a gift."
Louis's character exists in relation with others —his human family, his vampire family, his love interests, his interviewer, his employees— and your contribution can be about any and all of those relationships, or about Louis alone.
POV isn't a given either: you could write about Louis from another character's perspective but, if it's focused on Louis, then it's still in the spirit of this event.
And, if you end up creating something that doesn't quite respond to any prompt, you're still participating, as long as your creation is about Jacob Anderson's Louis de Pointe du Lac.
Some ways in which you can participate include:
fanfiction,
fanart,
fanmixes,
moodboards,
gifsets,
photomanips,
graphics,
video edits and AMVs,
meta and analysis in written, audio or video form,
poetry,
music,
headcanons,
fanworks and meta recommendations...
...and anything else you can think of!
Please take a look at our participation guidelines, and don't forget to tag your posts with #IWTVfanevents or tag @iwtvfanevents so we can share them on the blog. You can also add them to the collection on AO3: Happy birthday LDPDL!
And, as always, we encourage you to use the #vampterview tag for your posts about the show. Learn more about this fandom tag here ►
First of October and the first day of st. louis of the vieux carré event. I'll be combining last year's and this year's prompts for Louis B-Day Event hosted by @iwtvfanevents on AO3.
I'm excited to participate in this month-long challenge! Though I've put a hold on some of my Fics to participate in Oneshots (which aren't my forte). May luck and Saint Louis be on my side. Onwards!

Oneshot | Gen | Family Feels
Blurb: At the time it had felt like curiosity, that is what he had told Armand. But now, looking around him, feeling the warmth of those around him, maybe it had been longing. To belong again. Somewhere. Somewhere other than his and Armand's world. Somewhere that felt bigger than his own life.

Happy birthday to Louis! Helen of Troy. The next coming christ. Literally best busy to ever live. Your presence is a gift to have.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE CHARACTER OF ALL TIME LOUIS DE POINTE DU LAC. LOVER. MOTHER. FATHER. AVID READER. CHRONICALLY DEPRESSED. BEAUTIFUL ONE. KILLER. OWNER OF THE NICHT.

Does it take a longer time to erase a bigger REM space memory?
"He loved it not because it looked like a gentle, thoughtful young man, but because it was ghastly and awful and loathsome, and beautiful all at the same time. He loved it the way people love evil, because it thrills them to the core of their souls." — The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice.
EMMY FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
the loumand argument in full
toxic immortal yaoi :')
which could mean nothing
tbh the loustat situationship era only works as long as they're not in the same room. the moment they're face to face all bets are off. louis is extremely aware of this and that's why he never goes to his concerts. lestat knows this too but doesn't care and keeps writing songs with innuendos and references to their past to rile him up. daniel is taking turns babysitting both of them and he's tired
the fact that iwtv on amc managed to create an incredible compelling character such as louis out of the husk of a soul that was presented in the books is honestly amazing. tv show louis is my best friend. book louis watches paint dry for fun and i would hit him with a car.
can we talk about the way lestat moaned when louis stabbed him in antionette's bedroom? my man had been fantasising about that ever since he first saw louis and you can't tell me differently
like they couldn't just have their hate sex with some spanking or choking like normal people, louis said you are taking a knife to the GUT.......... i love these little freaks so much what the fuck
That's your problem, Louis, always has been. You're arrogant. "Everyone's fawning over Picasso, but not me, not Louis du Lac."
