While I’m not planning on making this a regular habit (this is an L.J. Smith fanfiction site, after all), so many things have happened over the past couple of days that I’m going to make a post here summing up the Vampire Diaries TV series news and giving you some links to more information and a few goodies.

First of all, there’s now a video clip available with a few scenes from the TV series for you to get a taster of what the show will be like. Then there are quite a few images from the TV series cropping up, including what looks like to be the title card.

In scheduling news, it’s replacing Smallville in the 8pm Thursday slot (SV is moving to 8pm Friday), pairing it up with Supernatural. There’s also a new synopsis of the series up.

And last, but most certainly not least, Whitmore is out, and the boys are now Stefan and Damon Salvatore, as they should be! Vee over on Vampire-Diaries.net had a twitter conversation with producer, Julie Plec, to confirm this, so it’s all legit. :)

So, lots happening, and there’s no sign of an end to the excitement yet. Keep an eye out on the Vampire-Diaries.net for more news and information.

The Vampire Diaries TV series has been given the greenlight by the CW network today, and is slated for the 2009 Fall schedule.

After 11 years, I have finally managed to find and install a search engine that actually works. It’s not completely perfect, but it works just fine for finding the fanfics about the characters you like best (which is what most people want it for, anyway). I’ve added the form in the sidebar to the right, and also to the fanfiction page.

Sorry it took so long, and I hope you find it useful. :)

Updated the archive with 5 fics (Vampire Diaries & Forbidden Game), 4 pics (Forbidden Game & Night World) and 1 poem (Vampire Diaries).

I have to say that there are some really awesome pieces of art being submitted this year. I’m seriously impressed by your talent, people.

Vampire-Diaries.net is running a series of top five iconic moments in the Vampire Diaries, from character quotes to scenes in each of the books. We’d love it if you’d all help out by reading the first article…

Fell’s Five: The Quotable Damon

…and then post what you think are the most iconic scenes in The Awakening. You can do that in the comments there, the comments in the post on the TVD Fans LiveJournal, the thread on the Devil’s Playground forums, and the thread on the V-D.net forums.
