Epilogue question

[theguy1991]

Ok. Is the epilogue for LTROI coming out in Paper Walls or something else? Or is there more than one epilogue?
And when is it being released in English? I keep seeing spring of next year(2011) and then for English translation another 3 years, or is that for Little Star?
Can someone get things straight for me? Lots of question marks.thanks

The epilogue will be published in Sweden in a collection of short stories next spring.
As I understood johnajvide, the English translation of the epilogue will be published as an addition to "Paper Walls" (a collection of short stories originally published 2006). When is not stated yet.
So, same epilogue, different wrapping.

What are some good ones too read here? Theres simply to many to read them all.
Also I cant wait to see what JAL has in mind since it really is very Romeo and Juliet with the two in that theres really no happy ending for them realisticaly possible.
Abandon Eli or Become the New Hakan, Die, or become a Vampire. What would you do?

Let her turn me, spend a few weeks someplace where life is cheap and then go flying off together into the sunrise.

Make sure to wear that super SPF sunblock, you know the stuff thats like grease thick.
I find the suicide path unflavourful to my palette due to that fact that well...theres no reason to do it. Call me stupid here but why do vampires keep getting depicted as having to kill their victums, you know that sorta leaves a trail of dead bodies and investigators looking for you who will inadvertantly end up killing you usualy. Cloroform, Stun gun, Black Jack, Halothane a guy, drink a little and rob him and the guy will report it as a mugging and theres no body ! lol

Still I read Loves Epitaph, Out from the Cold, another one where she turns Oskar, and one where she kills herself when he dies. Some were ok but I dislike the deus ex machina uses of miracle cures/solutions. If I wasnt in the middle of script writing a vampire movie myself right now id try my hand at writing a Darker but Happy Epiloge, right now im having enough problems keeping my ideas for my differant scripts seperate.

Try "no ordinary day" on fanfiction.net

Historians of various stripes and stipples try to look into the psyches of people long perish by examining their writings, and yes, this includes their fiction. The theory is that they wrote about what they loved and what they feared.

We do, too.

"There's no reason to do it"? Kinda depends on what genre is your vampire, and what flavour is your blood. LTROI's vampire eschews aristocracy, wealth, power and the like, and gives us a waif who zings around the country restlessly because there's literally no place to sleep without having to worry about being found out. No friends, no family, no satisfying and fulfilling career... all the girl has is her puzzles, maybe a game of poker or two with a barely tamed minder and a [deleted] that takes over when it gets hungry. This is life?

It's often argued, credibly enough, that suicide is a valid reponse when life holds no further promise. Turn me, let me spend a few weeks with my loved one as we run around together in an orgy of blood lust - but the novelty of being able to fly will probably wear thin very quickly when the need for frequent flight becomes readily apparent. Assuming the process of turning doesn't eradicate whatever makes a Sauvin a Sauvin, life would get to cold and joyless in very short order.

And so, no, I think we can safely keep the SPF 10K in the closet. It won't be needed.

Edit: 29 Octobre 2011, replaced a "bad word" with [deleted] to comply with renewed restrictions on language.

One could take a leaf from other fictional works. Oskar gets a job as a blood spatter analyst for the police. Eli decides to put her affliction to good use.

Well, in seven weeks or so we'll know
