Firefox news: Livejournal Draws a Line in the Sand.

Includes a hypothetical that is actually making me ponder now - a vampire that has the body of a 14 year old, while being 1400 years old, doing naughty things. Since the objection to underage sexual activity is that their brains aren't developed enough to give informed consent, and theoretically the vampire would be old enough to, presumably... But personally, a 14 year's old body, still creepy. I think to me that's the sort of thing that's okay, but I wouldn't do it myself, and I'd possibly be casting a wary eye on the people who'd jump at the chance (depending on their age, circumstances, etc, obviously). :P

Didn't Anne Rice write that little girl vampire wishing for a woman's body so she could do adult things more? Her body was a lot younger than 14, though nothing explicit was described, I sure got the impression it was implied. And those books are in bookshops everywhere...
Yes.... that would be Claudia and she was preteen when turned. Though in her case, everything was described rather mildly and 'politically correct' if you will.

When it comes to Anne Rice, the very first example that comes to my mind is Armand. Turned at the age of 17 in XVI century, described as very boyish looking... and even better, when he was still a mortal, I believe he was merely 14 if not younger, there is unquestionably sexual relationship with a vampire that was turned in his thirties and was over several hundred years old at that point.

Also, Armand's fledgling(turned in his mid thirties in the 80's)And yes, it is impossible to avoid sexual innuendos because they are actually mentioned, if not described, in canon. Sometimes in great detail.

...it is obvious I am in that fandom, isn't it *shuts up now*
I think I vaguely remember Claudia from when I used to read Anne Rice in high school... (Worked in the library, classes were boring, I read lots of long books for something to do. :P) Was she bordering on slightly mental after so long of being seen as a child, or is that just me making things up?
LMAO

Well... do you describe stabbing one of your makers to almost death and drowning him in a swamp and hiding bodies of random female victims in your bed under the blankets so you could admire woman body until they rot completely as slightly mental? If so... then yes.

Personally I dislike her, she was a little manipulative bitch... though it only makes sense, one of her 'daddies' is a hopeless whiner who is permanently depressed and suicidal and the other one is a pompous egocentric asshole *snort*
