Some odds and ends to gather ’round. First up, thanks to Marissa for letting us know that The Vampire Diaries is scheduled to begin airing on the Go! Channel in Australia this October. Still no exact start date, but better than the general “end of 2009″ we’d been hearing. As soon as we have a date, we’ll let you know.
Many thanks to Caroline for these scans of Paul and Ian talking Stefan and Damon in the new issue of US Weekly (you guys can stop asking us about whether Paul is single now, thaaaaank you) and Ian in the Fall Preview 2009 issue of TV Guide.
And finally, CW Source has posted their Comic Con interview with Nina. She talks about the usual topics here, but also provides a teaser for the second episode, “Night of the Comet.”

Many thanks to @Heaven314 for scanning these for us. This week’s issue of Soap Opera Digest contains interviews with Paul Wesley, Kayla Ewell and Zach Roerig, where they talk about working on the Vampire Diaries with each other and their previous work in various daytime soaps.

VampireDiariesWeb has posted up more outtakes from the Entertainment Weekly Comic Con photoshoot by Michael Muller. No Ian Somerhalder in this batch, but we’ll see some more before too long, no doubt. There are sixteen photos in total with only two featured here. Be sure to check out the rest in the gallery (thanks to VDW for supplying us with the pics!).
Now, if we could get some Greystone Mansion photos of Kayla Ewell, Zach Roerig and Michael Trevino (we’re starting to wonder if they even exist), we’d be very happy bunnies here at Vampire-Diaries.net. Just sayin’.

Thanks to Vampire Diaries Show for these: outtakes from Entertainment Weekly’s Comic Con portrait session with Nina, Paul, and Ian. Photographs by Michael Muller. (Click the photos to be taken to watermarked HQ versions on VD-S.)
As I mentioned on Twitter, we finally have a clear shot of Ian’s tattoo, which has been quite the topic. And yes, as suspected, it’s Latin.

The entries are all in (thank you to everyone who entered! You certainly kept us entertained with your captions), and we’ve spent the weekend deliberating over them all. We’ve managed to narrow down the entries to ten, and it’s now up to you guys to vote for the winners of the Vampire Diaries Comic Con goodies. Voting will remain open until Sunday, August 23rd 11:59pm Western US time, and then we’ll announce the winners on Monday, August 24th.
So, without further ado, take a look at the following picture and then choose your favourite caption from the list below. Good luck, everyone!
Elena: “Stefan meet Matt. Matt, Stefan.”
Stefan: “Hey.”
Matt: “Be careful, man. She bites.” (35%, 209 Votes)
Matt: “I’m Matt.”
Elena: “He acts like one too. He’s always walked on.” (7%, 44 Votes)

We’ve found ourselves on the receiving end of some amazing fandom love and generosity and we think it’s only right to pass on the good karma. We know a lot of you were unable to make it to San Diego for Comic Con and have been envying some of the Vampire Diaries goodies featured at the Warner Bros. booth. Well, here’s your chance to score some of that sweet schwag – we’re having our very first contest! (Damon is smirking because we’re going to ask you to flex your witty one-liner muscles for this one.)
The Prizes:
- TWO big winners will each receive a Vampire Diaries Comic Con bag
- THREE runners-up will each receive a Vampire Diaries poster and button
Here are some (not-so-great) snapshots of the limited edition bags, the button (bit blurry, but you get the idea of the size), and the poster.
The Contest:
Write a caption for this photo of Elena, Stefan, and Matt (click to enlarge).
What is a Caption Competition?
The point of a caption competition is to come up with a snappy (usually funny, sometimes profound) caption based on what springs to mind when looking at a given picture, often based on something that sticks out to the viewer. They’re usually no longer than a couple of sentences, though can be presented in the form of a short conversation between any people who may be in the picture.
Example Caption:
“Matt and Stefan only started to appreciate the depths of Tyler’s evil when they realised that he’d super-glued their hands together.”
The Rules:
- One entry per person. One caption per entry. You get one shot!
- Keep it clean, please.
- If you use their names in your caption, spell Stefan and Elena correctly – if you don’t, you’re automatically disqualified. NO exceptions.
- Email your caption entry to contest [at] vampire-diaries [dot] net. Please include the name you would like to be identified by on the website.
- Deadline: Entries must be received by Friday, August 14th at 11:59 p.m. Western U.S. time. (To find out what time that is in your area, check The World Clock.)
This contest is open internationally. We don’t care if you’re in Poland, Bulgaria, Brazil, Thailand, Israel, etc. – if you live on planet Earth and you win, we will mail the goods to you.
After the deadline:
- We will narrow the entries down to our 10-15 favorite submissions.
- We will then post that top 10-15 in a poll on the website (who submitted what will remain anonymous).
- The readers of Vampire-Diaries.net will vote for their favorite caption.
- The five entries with the highest number of votes at the end of the voting period will be our winners. The two entries with the most votes will win the Vampire Diaries Comic Con bag, and the three runners-up will win the Vampire Diaries poster/button.
- Winners will be notified and celebrated on the website!
Contest starts now – have fun! We look forward to seeing what you guys come up with. Again, deadline for entries is Friday, August 14th at 11:59 p.m. Western U.S. time. And please spread the word!

(USA only)
