What is it about Anne Rice

[nadriel]

I was just arguing about someone with someone tonight- why do so many people take Anne Rice's word as gospel on the whole vampire myth thing. I mean, it's not as if anyone really thinks Anne Rice is the gospel on the fictional creature known as the vampire...

Anne Rice is to Vampires and Vampire RPGs as R.A.Salvatore is to Drow!

Do you guys get annoyed when gamers want to play 'nice guy' vamps (like the guy from Interview... - Louis?) or 'nice guy' Drow (Drizzt)?

Yeah, but I don't think Bob Salvatore is that great an author, either :-)

I have about the same opinion of him as I do of Anne Rice- alright, but not worth the fuss people make over him...

Aye, I actually quite like some of Salvatore's work, annoyingly enough the earlier Drizzt stuff.
Never really been a huge Rice fan tho.
