The Vampire Lestat?

Why do you want to meet him? Why would you think he'd want to meet you? I'd have thought he'd avoid people like you like the plague.

That's if he was real. Which he isn't. Rice, Buffy, Twilight, none of it is real. The only real thing is the ability to update and monetise older stories for new generations of teenagers and young adults to tap into.

I'm curious.... what would you do if you found him?

Persuade him to "turn you", so you could join him in his luxurious life for eternity? Or perhaps just offer yourself for the "little drink"?

The books are fascinating, and Rice writes brilliantly. I read she had around 40 full time researchers working for her when she was writing the chronicles.

My hairdresser at the time became obsessed with Lestat too. Thankfully, he eventually got over it.

So make an account on a forum trying to lure some loon into playing a mythical figure?

Then you can complie all that &*%^ into a book and sell it... saying you met lestat on a web forum.

When you prey on the hopes and dreams of people hoping to make a profit you make me very angry.

I would never compile such an experience into a book, especially not for a profit. I'm not trying to do any such thing, nor have I implied it to my knowledge.

Where are you getting all this? The OP didn't say anything like that from my viewpoint.

That seems a weird stance to take: 'especially not for a profit'? What alternative would there be? "I wrote a book about my experiences with Lestat for charity .

What kind of charity? The American Society for Toothless Vampires? Rescue Vampires?

OK lestat devil is really quite possible. He did say he was fiction writing about fact in the light of day unseen by mortals.
His body thief is sound instant transmission soul stealing actors in plasma bombardment of TV in Assassin polymorphic and elongating your life span.
The little drink and yes he can kill you with that monami Mon cheri is really my sweet thanking everyone times 6. Lestat understand that all awareness is previous and should be treasured every day and everyone else cares less about peace so he kills evil and most people are jerks makes me want to go supersayien 4.
Well they not nessacary can be caught up since they contend that they are invisible to mortals they have a magick gift like zombie curse and I find cyber bullies everywhere making out they are experts on debunking everything with the sscience of occums razor i prefer to listen to the spirit and that smallkaku salutes the Zen Buddhism well firstly all mathematics is wrong I thought I'd let you know a negative is more like antimatter as science contends that it means you owe the bank and all physics is based upon it. A unit of measure is more like a million deaths .

LestatisReal,

I think you may be letting your love of the character bleed over into a false hope that he actually exists.
I can understand that, a lot of times fiction is so much more fantastic than the every day doldrums of life, but it's important to have a good bearing on the line between truth and fiction.

For example, I'm a big fan of James Bond; I think it would be great if James Bond was a real super spy, but alas he is not. I don't feel particularly compelled to go to London with the express notion of knocking on the door of MI6 and asking M if he is available for comment.

Now, there is no need to despair. It is perfectly reasonable to research Vampires, its an interesting road to follow, and one that I followed myself many years ago. What I did or didn't find allowed me to draw my own conclusions. So I encourage you to do the same! However, go into your research to learn about Vampires and their history rather than a flight of fancy, chasing a fictitious character.

I will say this, however. In my research back in the early 2000's on the internet......in fact it may have even been on ATS, back when I was just a lurker; I had read something about how Anne Rice actually may have known Louis or Lestat and was relaying their story to the world via a work of fiction......I have also read several things and heard a few first hand encounters of individuals who had known true vampires. But there is no real way to substantiate any of those claims, I frankly don't believe them. But take from that what you will.


Good luck and keep researching!

It is kind of funny, too. Vampires, if real vampires existed would have no trouble existing in plain sight with no one the wiser. Anything that people saw could be explained off, human beings have the odd habit of accepting even the most absurd 'natural explanation' for things that are clearly of supernatural origin and even more on their side is the fact that most human beings are preconditioned by society to automatically disbelieve anything preternatural on a subconscious level.

Sure, you may get some people here and there that claim they 'believe,' but they do not really. There is always a doubt in their minds, something there that can explain away anything unusual.

People say "How could vampires exist, wouldn't people notice the large amount of deaths and disappearances?" - No. No more than anyone is aware for instance of the hundreds of thousands of mysterious disappearances yearly without a trace in a Country like the United States which can not be attributed to anything, the people just up and vanish as if they had just ceased to exist one day.

But people will keep kidding themselves, keep believing that they know best. That science knows everything. That the modern World is somehow omnipotent and all-knowing, that all questions have answers, and that nothing past the realm of their understanding can exist.

And that is precisely why things that exist past the realm of their understanding do not have to lurk in the shadows. Because people will look upon them without a second thought. Those fangs? Prosthetic. The skin? They are just pale. Eyes? Contacts or something, surely.

Especially with the large number of charlatans and pretenders. What in a sea of costumes and masks would they ever need to fear from weak and feeble minded humans who live their day to day with their minds confined by the bars of societal expectation and conditioning?

Vampires are ficticious and not real. The only reason they are popular in human culture is because they embody many of the archetypes of the human psyche.

Blood, blood sucking, immortality, death, fear -- all these aspects are part of our makeup and as such, helped to form this make believe character.

Do you still ever come online? It says on here I cannot pm you, which is rather distasteful of a forum website.

I am not trying to con you for money, or anything or the like. But I may have some information which would be useful to you.

If you still check this website, let's set up a way to talk, where others can't listen.
If you do not check this, or at least often enough for myself to realise it, I will publicly announce that you should not give up, if this is what you truly desire. Many with taunt, others will mock, but almost all fear what they cannot explain. If you really want what is beknownst to you as the Dark Gift, do not listen to their words, but use your intuition to guide you.

Hey, do you have a mail or something?

Hi, I'd also be interested in talking to you, if that is at all possible?

Thank you
