Welcome to the preview of the event in which we will celebrate our beloved master: Marius de Romanus.

The event will take place in September, from September 15 to September 21.

This year's event theme is deities, and the prompts will be related to phrases inspired by Anne Rice's books. Submissions must be tagged with deromanusevent to be shared in the coven. If you notice that we have unintentionally missed your work, please contact us so that we can include it in the event.

Each day will be accompanied by two prompts; you can manage them as you prefer, either by choosing one or both or by combining them.

The event rules are those that have always accompanied our events, namely respect for Anne Rice, the canon of her books, the characters, and their stories.

Any kind of work is welcome:

-fanfiction

-fanart

-aesthetic

-moodboard

-poetry

-cosplay

-music etc…

Please note that we will only accept works that celebrate love and respect for Marius. We will not accept anything that could be misinterpreted or that could give rise to doubt or confusion.

We also remind you that our events are intended only for fans of the books and those who love the characters belonging to the canon of Anne Rice's books.

For clarity, we also remind you that the rule of total respect for Anne Rice and her work always applies.

Thank you very much in advance to everyone who will be participating in the event. We hope you enjoy yourselves! Special thanks to @shittyravencarcosa for writing the event prompts.

Below you will find a preview of the prompts that will accompany us during the event:

Helloooo, your biggest fan here. I wanna say that I adore your art style so much and am incredibly, viciously and carnally in love with it. And one thing I notice is your depiction of Louis is usually of long hair which seems to be the depiction of the 1994 movie, and in canon he is described as short hair that reach the shoulder (or so I supposed?) so I was wondering if you ever drawn the canon depiction of Louis because he's my favourite character in TVC and wanna see him in your artstyle more. Again, Love you and keep going because you're incredible ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

Thank you so so much this is such a kind comment ;;<33 I have a biggest fan… >//< And yeaaah I tend to draw Louis as brad pitt long hair cause im into long haired men haha but also for some reason Louis is so hard to draw???? @_@ idk what it is about him ghghgh. But he’s one of my favs too n I miss him so dearly so here u go<333 his sad pathetic aura

TVC + William Blake

Vampires and Light

Rice once quoted Blake's poem "Auguries of Innocence" to describe what the concept of light meant to vampires.

God appears and God is light To those Poor Souls who Dwell in Night But doth a Human Form Display To Those who Dwell in Realms of day

"That's the way I see these vampires," she says. "Light becomes a god to them, but they're denied the face of God. Light itself becomes their God". - The Vampire Companion

Tyger, Tyger

This is young David Talbot of years and years ago, when his heart didn't beat so fast within his chest. Yet he is in danger. Tyger, tyger burning bright. - The Tale of the Body Thief

Sunlight striking the forest. Where is the tiger? Oh, dear God, Lestat, you are the tiger! - The Tale of the Body Thief

Though unhappy now, and possibly forever, I believe again in the paramount importance of the flesh. My mind wanders to the words of D. H. Lawrence, (...) [who] recalled Blake's image of the "Tyger, Tyger, burning bright / In the forests of the night." Lawrence's words are: This is the supremacy of the flesh, which devours all, and becomes transfigured into a magnificent brindled flame, a burning bush indeed. - The Vampire Armand

The Vampire Lestat who is (...) so in love with the image of William Blake's tiger in the night. - The Vampire Armand

Angels and devils

William Blake had known. He had seen angels and devils and he'd gotten their proportions right.

Behold the angels and devils of William Blake and you've seen it. It's beyond innocence. - Memnoch the Devil

The Garden of Love:

Poem prefacing Taltos (excerpt)

So I turn'd to the Garden of Love, That so many sweet flowers bore.  And I saw it was filled with graves, And tomb-stones where flowers should be

This is non an exhaustive list, if you have any others you find interesting and are willing to share, I'd be eternally grateful ^^

" I knelt and put my hands on his shoulders. I kissed his cheek. No human scent. No human warmth. Sculpture of my Nicolas. 'Play it,' I whispered. 'Play it here just for us.'"

//Over two years ago, @perladivenezia​ won a contest for which I would make her a drawing of her choice. She asked for Marius and Bianca. Sorry it took so fucking long. Been a tough two years. ♥

"Carmilla, standing near the foot of my bed, in her white nightdress, bathed, from her chin to her feet, in one great stain of blood."

[ladyvampir3]

" I believe that I said some mad thing, voiced some frantic thought, that I knew now the secret of eternity.

'Then tell it to me,' he whispered, and he smiled. The purest image of human love "
