So, a fair while back,pandorasblog  and I were being all geeky and analysing IWTV a bit too far. Occitan/Langue d'Oc/Auvergnat was much more commonly spoken in the Auvergne in the 1700s than it is now. It is spoken with a very distinctive accent and it's fair to assume a character such as Lestat would speak that language with, say, his shouty father, or at least retain the distinctive pronunciation of words similar to French. Why did superdetective!Louis not pick up on it, huh? That  silly drunken Creole! Wouldn't it be good for a spec?

Well, probably. But hey, my writing skillz are wanting northern kitchen-sink drama lately and I couldn't work up to a proper fic about it. Here are some drabbles, though. They're light and a bit *meh*, but at least I've written something other than a shopping list for once.

Also, whilst I do so love being pretentious, I've provided translations of Occitan words used below, though the meanings don't add all that much to the drabbles, save the last one.

Well, stories_100 is actually rather fun. Some of you are already on there, but dude... give it a try. I loves me some drabbles.

Anyway, here are my first three, for anyone interested:

 

Finally wrote something. In like half an hour. Ah, well.
