Forum Master~ Jan_of_Arc
Caffe Trieste is a forum to enhance the Fangreader experience and community. As a community, we can share hints, tips, information and help each other to overcome obstacles in our quest to create and spread the word about great fanfiction.
The Caffe Trieste board has five main sections:
1. Check Point - This area houses the forum guidelines and is a place where you can take the opportunity to introduce yourself to the other members.
2. Fangreaders Chat! - Want to continue a topic that was brought up in the chat room? Maybe there was a chat topic you missed due to time differences or other engagements - this is the place to carry on chatting!
3. General Writing Biznez - If you have a question regarding canon in fanfiction, grammar, spelling, translations or simply want to find hints or tips with your story, you will find help here. You can also swap ideas and plot bunnies and request help with writers block.
4. Pimparific! - A place to advertise your own work or to recommend stories you've read to others.
5. The Caffe - An off-topic lounge where you can share your woes and joys.
The above forums are open to registered users only. Registration takes a few minutes and all registrations are approved by a site administrator. You should have full access to all of the forums within 24 hours.
Life is like a box of chocolates ~ When you're not looking some bastard sneaks in and steals all your favourites.
The Fangreaders are proud to present an awards ceremony our fandom has never seen. The tuxes and dresses are being designed. The Royalty Blended Blood is being ordered. Fangbangers are queuing up to be on the selected donor list. All this and more are to come as we get ready to celebrate those memorable fanfics that have made us laugh, cry and swoon.
Soon our distinguished Fangreaders will be given a ballot in their email boxes so they can start nominating their favourite fanfics and their authors for categories like Best Comedy, Best Romance and Best Angst among many others. Once the ballots are all in, the top four fanfics in each of the categories will be presented to the entire fandom for public voting. The winners of the Fangie Awards will then be announced live at an awards ceremony in the Fangreaders Hall of Fame and presented by our favourite SVM & TB characters.
Stay tuned for all the latest news and information about the upcoming awards. You can also follow us on Twitter @FangreadersChat and @Fang_readersLJ
The pressure is building in preparation for the big gala. We will be sneaking a peak in BonTemps, Shreveport and New Orleans to see how all our favourite characters are getting ready for the big event.
Pam's Rush for Red by vilannh
Pam looked around Fangtasia imagining how she wanted to decorate for the Fangies coming up. Of course Eric would volunteer their club for the party, then spend all his spare time with Sookie. She didn't care though. He handed her his Black AMex card and told her to do her magic.
The party planner she hired to handle things during the day suggested not having a red carpet.
"Maybe blue or purple. It is so popular now a days to go against the red." the young woman told her. She really was paying her to much Pam thought.
"Of course we are going red you idiot, these are the Fangies. Not some throw together award show where half the stars don't show up. This is the most important night of the year to honor the people who write out their obsessions with us. Do you not understand how much pussy I have gotten thanks to these authors?"
"Y...yes Miss Ravenscroft ma'am. I'll get right on it then" she stuttered as she stammered out the room
A Couple of Months Later...
The Fangies were a few days away and everything was going great as far as planning went. The day planner pulled up to the club in a long van. Pam could smell the fear rolling off the woman.
"Miss Ravenscroft ...um ...well ...um" she stood there shifting from foot to foot nervously
"Oh for goodness sake spit it out already I haven't got forever. Well I do but you don't bloodbag." Pam sneered at her
"I couldn't get the red carpet. So the company sent purple " oh this incompetent little bitch, must I do everything Pam mentally questioned.
She immediately pulled out her phone and called the carpet suppliers. To her surprise there was no red carpet in the state of Louisiana. As she called around she learned that with the Oscars being so close, all the red had been shipped to Los Angeles for the many parties they were having. This shit just would not do. She had to have red. Her writers deserved nothing but the best. Oh, and all the other people that were attending too.
She jumped in the van and drove off leaving the day planner standing in the dust cloud that Pam had kicked up with the van. She drove all throughout the night, stopped at a hotel for the day, and then drove the next night. When Pam arrived at the Shrine Auditorium there was a small crew of workers getting it ready for the Oscars. She looked around at the ground and saw the perfect velvety red carpet.
She opened the back of the van and grabbed the hideous lavender carpet that had been given for her event. Yes it was her event, there wasn't a writer out there that didn't love her. She found a darker spot that was not being monitored and began her task.
The night before the Fangies she walked around triple checking all the details. Pam reached outside the front door just as Eric and Sookie walked up.
"The outside looks wonderful Pam...Uh, but did you know that the carpet has the Oscar logo on the edge as you walk up" Sookie said in her sweet southern drawl.
Pam sped away and reappeared with a pair of scissors. She cut off the part that said Oscars.
"Damn carpet printers can't get anything right I tell you" She said as she walked past the pair into the club.
As the trio walked up to the bar they heard the announcer on the TV.
Well Jim we are two days away from the Oscars and it looks as though they have changed it up a bit this year. The carpet seems to have a huge patch of light purple carpet added to it and the Oscar Logo is not there as it has been in the past
Thank you Bob I wonder how Joan Rivers will feel about standing on that this year. HAHAHA.
Eric and Sookie turn to look at Pam
"Hollywood just isn't as glamorous as it used to be. " Pam said as she sped away

Fanfic Authors
Join the Fangreaders in taking on the topics of our fandom.
Not all the themes that run through our fandom are supernatural. Some are very real and have caused controversy among readers and authors alike. Recently, many authors have spoken out about domestic abuse in SVM/TB Fanfics. Do you feel that domestic violence is romanticised in fanfics? Do you feel that fanfics handle the issue of domestic abuse responsibly?

Hello Fangreaders,
I’d like to invite you all to the chat Sunday 13th of November at 9pm EST. The cast of True Blood on Twitter will be joining us again to promote their new contest for Christmas. For those of you that don’t know, SouthernLady23 and Black Dead Orchids won 2nd & 3rd prize on the last contest. Please be sure to check out their winning entries.
For those that don’t know about True blood on Twitter, they are a group that role play True Blood on Twitter. Says what it does on the tin. The contests are for writing a True Blood story with a prompt as a guide. The winning entries will be acted out by the characters on twitter live for everyone to enjoy. This is a great opportunity for newbie writers as well as veterans. The contest entry needs only to be 2500 words but no more than 8000. All entries for this contest need to be in by Dec 1st.
The 1st place winner in addition to having her story acted out on Twitter will also receive a signed Alexander Skarsgard print by Kristin Bauer van Straten.

To get into the spirit of the contest, I would like to inform you that our chatroom will be transformed into the Fangreaders Lounge .
