MC on VC - Harry on Lestat

This comment could very easily turn into a rant, so I'm going to try and be careful...

I think the debate ends with what my mother said to me when I ranted to her: "Abby, Lestat's not real! It doesn't matter whether he's religious or not! That has no effect on you! And you don't have to read the bloody book anyway!"

Too true, mom. Too true.

But it unnerves me none-the-less. Lestat has always always been fickle when it comes to what he believes (other than that he is the coolest thing since sliced bread)... and I think that giving him Redemption will render the rest of his existence sort of... void (but that could well be the point).

I know it's not my place at all to be disapproving, and I'm glad that Anne Rice has found security and happiness in her beliefs, I truly am... But I think it would be better to not write the book at all rather than to change everything Lestat has ever been.


... and I just wanted to draw Harry in his glasses.


p.s. Yes, I am aware what Harry says about creators is hypocritical. I like to call it: a cruel irony (obscure 'Emperor's New Groove' reference! *snort* lol)
