OOC: Same Song and Dance, Different Hearthstone
I'm certain this has been fairly apparent for a while but I think the time has come to finally dust off my traveling shoes and make a few changes.
As you all know, Victor Madden is a Charlaine Harris book character that I adopted in order to RP here on twitter. I created his account on March 9, precisely 6 months ago, and so much has happened to him since then that he is essentially his own individual character, which I am actually rather proud of. Beyond even what has been going on on the Tweet stream I've put a quite a bit of work into his back story, filling in where he's been and where he's going, as well a giving him a few more quirks and other details that really make him his own person. While most of what I've added to him is simply icing on the cake in regard to him being the character from the books, I think it's time to finally really cut him loose. As of today, the character you all know as Victor Madden will now be known as Victor Mason and can be found on a new account with the handle @eternal_maestro. I am doing this rather than simply changing the name of @VictorMadden because I am not entirely certain how many of my followers have found me through recognizing the character from the books or have simply added me because the stories have been interesting. He has a new posterous as well as a WordPress blog and a new facebook account, so anyone who uses those services and is still interested in following what Victor will be up to, please don't hesitate to add me. The bulk of the reason behind this change is that Peter and I have quite a few interesting story ideas sitting on the back burners waiting for the right time to be trotted out, but that we were having a difficult time corresponding to Victor Madden's ties to vampire politics and his position in the hierarchy of Nevada, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Also, I realize that for any of Victor's new followers, if they were book-ies, there was quite a bit of disconnect to sort through. This course of action seemed to make the most sense all around. To close, Victor Madden will still be around if he's ever needed for any twitter plots but considering that the TrueBlood seasons are firmly putting us in the realm of the 'past' in regard to when we first meet Mr. Madden, I will be leaving him in Vegas, plotting, planning, looking towards his own advancement, and otherwise preparing for the eventual take-over of the state of Louisiana and his all-too apropos opening line of "It is I, the vampire Victor Madden." *grins* It's been a blast, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you've found it intriguing enough to keep on watching.
