So if you already answered the previous one, you don't have to answer this one.
If you don't have an LJ account and / or want to reply completely anonymously, you can do so in the comments. I am setting them as screened also.
Gender (the one you identify as)
Age group

Do you have kids?
Did you grow up with relatives (parents, siblings, etc.) who were also fans?
If yes, have you ever been fans of the same artist / series / work as them?
At the moment, would you call yourself a fan of more than one artist / series / work?
have you been a fan of another artist / series / work before?
Among those things, what could make you stop or reconsider being a fan?
Thank you!

If you consider yourself a fan (of anything, band, series, novels...), please answer those few questions. Thanks!

I don't know if Twilight has something to do with it, but there's been a lot of new fan-art on Deviant Art since last year... so much that I can't post it all, but here's a few Armand-related ones :

Since I'm lucky enough to live in Paris, I made a little visit at the Opera Garnier. Some scenes from Neil Jordan's movie adaptation of Interview with the Vampire were shot there. In the hallway especially.
The place is gorgeous in and by itself, so well worth a few pictures...
This Opera is also where the original Phantom of the Opera novel takes place. It's easy to imagine all sorts of grandiose and supernatural beings wandering around.

Recently discovered during a sight-seeing trip in Angers, I fell in awe of this wooden sculpture right away. Though it's not, by far, the oldest piece of the Collégiale Saint-Martin...
But all beautiful, melancolic teenage angels remind me of Amadeo.

Especially as it's going to start in August, since the week Sept. 6 starts on Monday Aug. 31 (... not all countries start the week on Monday? Which ones don't, I can't recall).
So, yeah. I'll repeat the announcement on various comms as we get closer to the week.

I'll stand by you (The Pretenders)
(not vampire inspiration per se, more a classic )
Oh, why do you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me love
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Coz I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
Don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So, if you may get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
And hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
But I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Coz even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when,
When the night falls on you baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me onto your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Baby on into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

5 year already.
I thought I had marked the day the years before, but I only did it once.
And I only just realized that it's two days in the calendar where people are all looking forward a certain thing (Halloween or April Fool's, here), that for me are just helpful reminders that "Oh, we're back to the anniversary of []'s death".
I don't have much to say, though. Just... a little friendly poke at his ghost. Keeping a memory.

Pas de souci pour les icônes, a priori.
Merci pour le friendage.
Par contre je ne suis pas sûre que tu tiennes à ce que je friend-back (il y a un mot en français?),…
I've clicked on your name when I saw a pretty icon you used in a Kaamelott community,…
And it's for that book I'm writing on fandom.
Disliking an artist does colour one's appreciation ultimately, I find I must admit. Case in my point being Bon Jovi; loved their first 4…
