The Book of Exodus

This Book of Exodus tells how the Admins lead the little vampires, lycans, and demons out of Drama-cam and through the wilderness to the happy place of Good Manners and Common Sense.
...And so it came to pass, that in the 6th year of the reign of the Prince of the Dark Network, there were many who needed to be led out of their unholy ways in the webcam portals...
The Dark Prince revealed Himself and offered them a Covenant: they were to keep His law, and in return He would be their beneficent Prince and give them the land of Vampire Rave to spend their days in gothic happiness.
The vampires, lycans, and demons, led now by their Prince's Admins words of wisdom, journyed onwards from Drama-cam towards the promised land, but even when their statuses reported that the land was filled with gigantic drama-mongerers they refused to block anon chat.
...The Prince had hoped that all would follow His instructions and for a while, it seemed that the little vampires, lycans, and demons had found His advice to be good....until that night when the Prince Himself visited as anon in a wecam portal...
The Prince was saddened by what He saw that night...He was berated and flamed and although He had almighty power and could have extinguished the bad-mannered dramatist, He merely left with a heavy heart.
...the Admins however, were shocked at the treatment He, and other Admins had suffered...not only was there a perfectly good block button to hand, it seemed that particular little vampires who used foul language really didn't understand that their e-threats were pathetically meaningless in the real world...
With that, the wise soothsayers gave them new laws...These commandments written on tablets of stone proclaimed:
*If you don't want Anonymous viewers you should not get on cam altogether...
*if you make a point of stating you don't want drama you are drawing attention to yourself and it's only going to bring you what you say you don't want...
*use your block anon chat button...
...The Prince and His Admins then condemned these morons to remain in their dramatic portals, or better still self-delete until the generation that left nasty comments in anon chat had passed away...
Verily, I say unto you, after 40 long years, the little vampires, lycans and demons did indeed come to the promised land of Good Manners and Common Sense. All was well once again in the kingdom of the Dark Network.
Amen.
here endeth the Book of Exodus.
Goth is good.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE GIRL NEXT-DOOR
21:50 Mar 25 2011
Times Read: 932
Who doesn't love the girl next-door?...the girl who is kick-ass intelligent, fiesty, and awesome to chat with. When I first joined VR, someone who struck me as the kind of person I'd love to get to call a friend was the typical girl next-door. I knew she was a Leo and a lover of corsets, and I also knew she fancied the pants off Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds, but I needed to find out more...
I wanted to know if BubbleGumClaudia had ever met her match, what her views on VR were, and what the Purple Wand was because being a witch myself, I had thought I'd known all about wands and their uses...
Who is BubbleGumClaudia I asked:
There's quite a few things to describe who I am on the outside and on the inside.........here's a few
Curse like a sailor (hell my best friend is one)
Lover
Fighter of what I believe in
Sexual deviant
Friend
Photogenic
Compassionate
And A Bit Of A Wild Side
Lover - I get to see love every day through the eyes of my daughter.......She makes me smile and warms my heart......in a relationship aspect of the whole LOVE THING I have yet to find the person that makes me whole.......(I've come close a few times) but nothing like what others I see have......that and cause I'm extremely picky...
Fighter of what I believe in - Yes I took that verbatium from my profile.......cause I don't give up on anything without a fight......I am extremely opinionated and tell you how it goes......you don't like it.....TOUGH SHIT.....and yes I do admit when I'm wrong.......but then again who doesn't and if you don't that makes you two faced
Sexual Deviant - That's self explanatory!
Photogenic - I love PICTURES! either being the model or photographer....hell look at my portfolio!
Compassionate - I hate people who feel NOTHING AT ALL..and don't give me that bullshit about it's how you were raised........I like to help people (when I can) some call it over-compassion but I call it being human..and...
And a Bit of a wild side - I have a Wild side....I like A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS......Care to know??? come find me...
See? I knew I could count on Claudia to give it to me straight. That's the thing about Claudia, she knows how to keep it real. I wondered what Claudia thought about her five years on VR. What are the biggest changes you've seen and can you tell me your favourite VR moments please?
Actually now it's 6 years as of the other day......HOLY FUCK MONKEY!!! I've been on here for that long???
Ok Silliness aside........The biggest changes I've seen is when I first arrived on VR there was no Vampbox, No society system, and you could only talk to people in Messages.....and there were no Dominars, Procurators and all that Jazz........I enjoy the society system IMMENSELY due to the fact that people you wouldn't normally meet on the street or in a club you can talk to and get to know them (and hey! some of them are actually pretty cool)
And now the newest addition to VR The Webcams........I enjoy this addition due to the fact it also gives me a chance to meet and talk to people that I wouldn't have normally talked to...Also it lets me talk to others that either I don't get to talk to on a daily basis ('cause they live in other parts of the country or world)
Favorite moments on VR-HA!!! My favorite moment was when I was asked by The Coven Of Immortal Sin (shameless plug!) to join the ranks by GrieviousDemon himself......and then we went 18 and up due to the kinkiness we talk about!!! *evil laugh* that I will get into here in a bit!
I laughed at that, Claudia sure knew how to tell a story...Now then Claudia, I asked, can you tell me a little about what you do for fun, what makes you happy?
...what I do for fun?? that's a short list.......when I'm not doing the daily work grind....I can usually be found ON VR pissing SOMEONE OFF TO A CERTAIN DEGREE!! hey it's what I'm good at apparently.....or Facebook.......but when I'm not on here I'm usually playing with my little tiger cub......reading, or listening to my music or Drooling over Spence!
what makes me happy? little shit......Knowing that I have a little girl that loves me to death.....and spending time with people that know ME!!
...what I was desperate to know though was about that purple wand...I had seen Claudia's journal entry on it and I couldn't figure out what magic the wand worked at all...Tell me Claudia, I said (and please don't keep it clean)...what the hell does the wand do?
Ok! Time for Claudia's BDSM LESSON!!! Ok now I'm not a newbie to the BDSM lifestyle and for those of you who are reading this that don't know what the BDSM lifestyle is....It stands for Bondage Dominace Sadism Masochisim
Bondage - Look at my portfolio for visual description but in written discription it is when a person (male or female) is bound by any form of bonding equipment (i.e. Rope, Belts, Chains, Handcuffs......or any other thing your dirty minds can think of)
Domiance - Being told what to do by your dominant (normally in a sexual setting) although there are those people in the BDSM lifestyle who do what is known as A TPE (total power exchange) in which they are told what to do 24/7.......
Sadism - Inflicting pain (for a sexual purpose) on the submissive person.......
Masochisim - receiver of pain from the Sadist also known as Pain Sluts (I can at times be one of these!) it's purely for me in a sexual setting....HOLY FUCK It's HOT
Now the Purple wand or Violet wand as it is known in the lifestyle is a tool that is plugged into an electrical outlet and it has attachments that are used on the body of the submissive these attachments are called electrodes..which when put inches away from the body puts pure electricity jolts against the body part and is used for erotic stimulation.....basically pure electricity is used on your body to get ya to orgasam.....there are other uses for it (such as branding and gentail stimulation)...now this is just my explanation on it...here is the wiki article about the Violet wand.......http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_wand
It is very dangerous and should only be handled by certain TRAINED indiviuals cause its effects can be harmful.......it is EXTREMELY Erotic when used and can make certain indivuals orgasm but once again if you decide you want to use this tool use it properly and by trained indivuals..
Blushing and roaring with laughter all at the same time, I admitted to seeing many uses for that magic wand and made a mental note to inquire at my local shop...My time with Claudia was coming to an end although I could honestly have stayed chatting forever. I loved Claudia's take on life, and I also loved how she knew how to give great conversation. One last thing before I go please Claudia... If you could be the leading lady in an episode of Criminal Minds alongside Mathew Gray Gubler, what role would you play?
*DROOL MOMENT* excuse me......Ahh Dr Spencer Reid.....what can I say about that man that doesn't include the word intelligence and sexy.....I would play a Dr of some kind that he finds attractive and intelligent like himself...(although not as intelligent as him) but also she works in a different unit of the BAU and wields a gun......and it boggles his mind on how to approach her and not make himself look like a ass....(but he isn't an ass cause FUCKING HELL He's just plain HOT!!!)
Smiling broadly, I nodded at that. Claudia knew what she wanted from life and she was awesome enough to deserve it too. Thanks Claudia, I just knew you'd be awesome!
AN INTERVIEW WITH A MASTER OF THE LENS
16:43 Mar 17 2011
Times Read: 1,029
I am always fascinated with creative people. I love seeing the world through the eyes of someone who creates beauty from the most ordinary of things. These kind of people seem to just know how to make us gasp in awe at their artwork. Someone we all know as a brilliant photographer here on VR is Morrigon, Master Vamp and House Master of La Bella Oscuridad. I really wanted to find out if she had been born with a lens in her hand, if she was vampire or human, and if her puppies were up for sale...
I had arranged to meet with Morrigon at her latest photoshoot. I knew that she worked with painted models so I hoped I'd get to see some of the preparation involved (a naked model too of course), and maybe if I was lucky, learn a little about Morrigon herself...
As soon as I entered the studio, a beautiful sleek, chocolatey-haired creature sashayed towards me - a little short maybe but all the same quite the supermodel....I looked into the most beautiful brown eyes and fell in love just a little then. I offered my hand, got snaffled by the wetest nose, and grinned...Morrigon was nowhere to be seen at that moment but Pai had left his adoring model-friends to welcome me and more importantly, check if I had brought any treats.
Just then, Morrigon appeared from the midst of models and props and so I asked my first question: Who is Morrigon?
Morrigon is Sarah, (first admission of real name during interview - ever) just an average person who grew up in a little town. I was born in Minnesota but spent most of my life in Wisconsin on a horse farm. I love MST3K, nachos, and rum. (Yes of COURSE at the same time...)
I also wanted to know about VR-Morrigon. What does the VR experience mean to you, and what makes you a good Master Vamp?
The VR Experience is truly about the people I make connections with here. I joined because I was interested in the folklore of Vampires and stayed because of the wonderful people. I was offered the position of the Master Vamp and I had serious doubts I would actually be good at it. I have a temper, a hard time letting go of issues and I'm terrible at shutting up. Getting to be a MV really helped me become more professional in general.
That lead me on to my next burning question...what, if anything about VR makes you (i) mad, (ii) sad, or (iii) bad?
Mad: People who waste time rebelling against VR staff instead of going out and confronting actual life issues. We're not the machine you're trying to fight, we're just normal geeks who sign on to a site.
Sad: When people who have never spoken to me express their fear of me.
Bad: When Birra signs on and I see his smexy avatar on my friends list. I may be bad, but I feel... Good.
Well, who wouldn't feel good with an avatar like that...I laughed with Morrigon, I could see she wasn't bad at all. I mean, how could someone who makes things so beautiful have any badness about them? What really interested me about Morrigon though, was her ability to capture stunning moments on film. I wanted to know more about her photography and some of the techniques she used. I particularily wanted to know about the painting of models and the rich dark colours she was using at the moment. Where do your ideas come from, what inspires you at the moment?
A lot of times models approach me with very general ideas and we put a concept together that way. Otherwise, I come up with ideas by observing what's around me. Art galleries, music, movies, and work by other photo artists inspire me constantly. A favorite inspiration technique is to pick a song and try to visualize what the song sounds like, and then make a shoot around that.
...and if I could give you your ideal photoshoot, what would that be? Anything is possible...
We're planning on constructing a large temporary wall in the studio which will allow me to paint, wallpaper, or any other crazy stuff I'd like to do for a backdrop. That will definitely be ideal for me. Otherwise, I would love to work with a very talented fashion designer who makes unique clothing. To have an endless supply of costumes would be amazing. Many of the garments worn by models in my current images were donated or loaned to me by friends, family and fans.
I could see instantly that here was someone who strived for perfection in what she did and constantly surpassed even that. I also loved how Morrigon could take something ordinary and make it extraordinary. My interview had come to an end but before I left the studio, I had one last question. Can I have a puppy?...but I already knew the answer to that, I had to try 'cause these darned puppies were just sweet as pie.
Unfortunately, all puppies are spoken for :(. I always advise people to check out http://www.drna.org/ - Dachshund Rescue of North America if they would like a dachshund and to help a furry friend in need. The Buffalo Dachshund Club, which we are members of, donates money to the cause.
Thanks Morrigon!
AN INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE CONSUL
20:56 Mar 06 2011
Times Read: 1,123
I am always held captive by beautiful words. There is a whole lot of magic within the text of a well-written page, and words that are put together in such a way as to tug at the emotions are the ones that ring true for most of us. In my favourite journals, Inhalations and Exhalations did just that...when I had finished reading I realised that I had been holding my breath because the person writing them had somehow said all the right words and written them just for me, yet I also knew that any other person reading the same journal would feel these words were written just for them..now that was really special. I wanted to find out if Joli was ever lost for words, if she had a favourite place to muse, and if she was as spicey as her Cajun heritage...
I wandered into her garden and the delicious scent of the gardenias just hung in the breeze...aah...I could see her sitting with a notepad, serene, deep in thought...Who is Joli, I asked:
Joli is a made-up name for a real person who's still trying to answer that question.
As always, I was transfixed by her words. I knew from her journals that she appreciated her life and that is something not many of us do. We grumble and moan about the everyday things, the little things that mean nothing to anyone else but ourselves, but forget how beautiful life can be too. I wondered if Joli had always known she wanted to be a writer, who or what was her inspiration when she wrote, and who her ideal audience was?
I suppose so, but I also wanted to be an anthropologist, ballet dancer, astronaut doctor, (no, I'm not missing a comma there) French translator, speech therapist, photo journalist, hippie backpacker, pope, tightrope walker, fry cook, pole dancer, and a conquistador. Several college majors later, I picked up a pen. Or maybe it was that time my dad read my first sci-fi story when I was ten and said, "You wrote this?" That, to me, was like a 40 year veteran smoker's first sneaked inhale while hiding behind the gym in Junior High. It felt good and I wanted more!
My inspiration is my dad, mostly. He's an amazing artist. I spent an entire Wednesday trying to draw a nose when I was 12. Never made the fridge. If I can ever paint with words half as well as he paints on canvas, I will consider myself a great success.
Audience? People with baggage: sin, love, loss, triumph, guilt, yearning, and remorse. If you don't have your own stuff, how can the words find you, speak to you, and become your own?
I found myself nodding as she talked...Joli had a lot of wisdom to share and I for one wanted to know more...I wondered if she could tell me about being a Consul here on VR. Why do you think Cancer chose you as a Consul, and what exactly does a Consul do?
Consuls are pretty much chosen from admins whose schedules have changed, making them less available to help Cancer. We help support the active administrators where we can. That's a nice way of saying that we've checked into the VR Nursing Home. We're old and wise, but we sit in our rockers a lot and our fangs aren't as sharp as they used to be.
Haven't you heard of Cancer's legendary good taste?
...One thing that struck me when Joli spoke about herself was how modest she was. I wanted to know if Joli had a firey Cajun side to her? What do you do to 'let off steam'?
I bite off projects bigger than I can chew. Nothing gets my adrenaline going like knowing I have to pull together something that I believe in, that will help the community. The deadline is short and we have a press release with the mayor and other community officials. It has to get done and I have no clue what I'm doing. Weeeeeeeee! That's my version of jumping from a plane and free-falling until the last second. Sadly, I like to drag everyone I love out of the plane with me. I hang out with a bedraggled and glorious group of folks who make me look like I can fly.
I giggled at that, and I just knew what my next question should be...If you were an evil dictator for the day, what would you do to your subjects if anything imaginable was allowed...?
I'd take away all their money and food and line them up at a food bank. I'd have them experience mercy and kindness. Then I would give everything back to them the next day so they could experience restoration. We need people in this world who are familiar with gratitude rather than ill-tempered and unmerited expectation. I'd hope it would awaken a sleeping desire to be kinder and more merciful. But if I'm wrong, at least I would have plenty to write about between gunshots and pitchforks when the mob decided to depose the evil dictator.
I loved that answer and right away, I could see that Joli wasn't ever going to be an evil dictator.
Thanks Joli! It was a pleasure.

Oh PAGAN. ♥
Sometimes it's really quite odd, people forget their entire VR experience can be ended with the click of a button. They take it for granted, and give admins shit for it, but that's the "sacrifice" one must pay. It's no steep price at all.
Play in the garden, don't eat the fruit - To be on VR, follow the rules.
