We're hosting a fanweek dedicated to Gabrielle de Lioncourt from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles / AMC's The Vampire Lestat, running from September 7th-13th 2026.
This is a week-long event organized by fans, for fans, that aims to celebrate fanwork of Gabrielle de Lioncourt. Everyone is welcome to participate as many days and as many times as they wish, be it through written work, visual art, video edits, collage, (analysis threads, playlists) or anything else you can think of! All contributions will be shared on twitter and tumblr, and a collection will be opened on ao3 closer to the date of the event.
Although prompt quotes have been taken from the novel The Vampire Lestat, works will be accepted whether they’re focused on book or show Gabrielle/a, or anything in between—make it your playground.
Any pairing and any type of NSFW content will likewise be welcome, as long as it is tagged appropriately. Be sure to also tag your works with #gabrielleweek26, and tag us in them so we can repost them!
Feel free to send any questions to the ask box. Hoping to see you and all your creations in September, and in the meantime, happy crafting!

You think you know something, don't you? You think you're the clever little girl who knows something. There's so much you don't know. So much. What do you know, really? You're just an ordinary little girl living in an ordinary little town. You wake up every morning of your life and you know perfectly well that there's nothing in the world to trouble you. You go through your ordinary little day, and at night, you sleep your untroubled, ordinary little sleep filled with peaceful, stupid dreams. And I brought you nightmares. Or did I? Or was it a silly, inexpert little lie? You live in a dream. You're a sleepwalker, blind. How do you know what the world is like? Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you ripped the fronts off houses, you'd find swine? The world's a hell. What does it matter what happens in it? Wake up, Charlie. Use your wits. Learn something!
