Many thanks to @TruJamie for scanning this for us. Here’s an interesting full-page advert for the Vampire Diaries in the most recent issue of People Magazine. It’s a modified version of the Love Sucks campaign that we’re used to seeing, with a few little tweaks here and there. It’s kind of fun trying to spot them. ;)
The text is a little hard to read, so we’ve got it here for you.

Every author will answer at least five questions over a two-week period.
LJS has only made one post so far, answering “What made you start writing?”, but she’s also answering a lot of questions in the post comments. She’s dropped some info about the next volume in the
As for Vampire Diaries: I will continue to write them for as long as the publishers and I get along.
Watch for more Blogfest posts in the next two weeks. Thanks to Jezebel and Nilly for letting us know!
We’d seen some chatter about people being “freaked out” by a Vampire Diaries ad, but couldn’t figure out what on earth they were talking about. Well, thanks to Digital Signage Today, we now know and it’s all Blade Runner n’ stuff:
Playing on the concept that vampires don’t have reflections, pedestrians who approach the Inwindow Storescape will initially see their likeness on a screen. Shortly thereafter, a black crow approaches the viewer, circling around the viewer’s head before flying off. The screen then flashes momentarily and the image of the viewer vanishes while the background scene – other pedestrians, cars, etc. – remains. A trailer of the show then launches on the screen and the pedestrian is sent a message to their mobile device, via Bluetooth, that allows them to view the trailer on their phone.
The displays are in New York and Los Angeles – and they’re huge. You can check it out over at DST. The company responsible is Inwindow Outdoor and you can find out how they put the interactive display together on their website.
UPDATE: Thanks to Lily for the heads up on this video of the display.

Well, this may well cause a few heads to explode in the fandom! Courtesy of The Televixen we have what may well be legitimate banner adverts for the Vampire Diaries TV series from the CW:
Kevin Williamson has told us via twitter that he thinks they might well be real, though this is the first he’s seen of them. If these are legit, it certainly looks like the CW are planning on playing up the sexy angle of the series, and going more True Blood than Twilight in tone. That’s no bad thing, as these banners express nearly twenty years worth of pent-up squee over that particular threesome for many fans. ;)
UPDATE: Because we’re seeing lots of varying reactions to these banner ads, we thought we’d set a couple of polls going to see what you guys think of them.
