'Shire Thing #8 - While there are trees EVERYWHERE in New Hampshire, they are all new growth. I knew that it was timber from the colonies that built the amazing navy that made Great Britain a superpower, but I didn't realize that almost all of New England had been clear cut to do so.

On The Writing Front - "Cylon of the Opera" (and I really need a new title for it) will be probably end up being a three part epic. Today I wrote a scene which tied my two chunks together, meaning I have 2/3 of the first part written.

And now I'm starting to doubt the whole thing.

I have really messed with Kara's back story and am changing how she copes with things, playing up the religious side (which I am making up or pulling from the Battlestar Wiki because I've never seen "Caprica").

But what if I've changed her too much?

Starbuck is a kick-ass, take-no-shit, kind of woman, Christine Daae was an immature girl who always had a strong male presence in her life to rely on. Forget apples and oranges, these two are apples and staircase carpet.

On The Baby Front - We've had 3 of the 6 babies so far, with two babies due anytime (our biggest fear is that they'll go at the same time).

The Fan Fiction Personality Test

The Mindgamer

Everything is possible, nothing is ever really over.

Fanfiction is a creative outlet for you. You don't intentionally write it, it just happens. You find inspiration in several fandoms, but are not obsessed with only one.

You like to explore "what if" situations. What if this character had never made this very choice? What if this event had taken place sooner, never, elsewhere? What if these people had never met?

You are likely to write Alternative Universes, fan seasons or sequels and just follow your (sometimes pretty strange) plot bunnies.


Okay, that is scary accurate, and on that note I'm off to finish the intro chapter from my BSG/PotO AU ;)

Day 27 - A pairing that you loved and ended up hating?
Christine/Roule “The Phantom of the Opera”


With the black & white movies and the stage musical, Christine was set up as the damsel and Roule was clearly the hero; and when I was 12 I was willing to go with that.

Then I read the book and came to understand that The Phantom was a real man (with a name!) who hurt and loved and lived while Roule was a whinny baby who was told he couldn't have the toy he wanted.


Christine seized Raoul's arm and clutched it with a strength which no one would have suspected in so frail a creature.
"Then you were listening behind the door?"
"Yes, because I love you everything ... And I heard everything ..."


Christine entered, took off her mask with a weary movement and flung it on the table. She sighed and let her pretty head fall into her two hands. What was she thinking of? Of Raoul? No, for Raoul heard her murmur: "Poor Erik!"
At first, he thought he must be mistaken. To begin with, he was persuaded that, if any one was to be pitied, it was he, Raoul. It would have been quite natural if she had said, "Poor Raoul," after what had happened between them. But, shaking her head, she repeated: "Poor Erik!"
What had this Erik to do with Christine's sighs and why was she pitying Erik when Raoul was so unhappy?
nestar: (Phantom)
Hey guys, I have stuff to talk about!

Last week I was at the library and looking out at me from the CD rack was "Wonderland" the musical.

Could she be the one, you know?
Tin man, lion or scarecrow?
Wait that's from a different show


I almost drove off the road when I first heard that.

And then I realized that by switching a few songs around I could have a squeal to "Alice" - which I then plotted out ::head desk::

Day 26 - A pairing that you hated and ended up loving?
Christine/Eirk “The Phantom of the Opera”


I was first introduced to this fandom through the old black & white movies and then ALW's musical.


The B&W's were trying to play up the horror aspect of the story and the musical didn't really delve into the love between Christine and The Phantom (who they never name).

And then I read the book.

The man's voice spoke again: "Are you very tired?"
"Oh, to-night I gave you my soul and I am dead!" Christine replied.
"Your soul is a beautiful thing, child," replied the grave man's voice, "and I thank you. No emperor ever received so fair a gift. THE ANGELS WEPT TONIGHT."

"My anger equaled my amazement. I rushed at the mask and tried to snatch it away, so as to see the face of the voice. The man said, 'You are in no danger, so long as you do not touch the mask.' And, taking me gently by the wrists, he forced me into a chair and then went down on his knees before me […] And the voice, the voice which I had recognized under the mask, was on its knees before me, WAS A MAN! And I began to cry... The man, still kneeling, must have understood the cause of my tears, for he said, 'It is true, Christine! ... I am not an Angel, nor a genius, nor a ghost ... I am Erik!'"


"Oh, I hate him!" cried Raoul. "And you, Christine, tell me, do you hate him too?"
"No," said Christine simply.
"No, of course not ... Why, you love him! Your fear, your terror, all of that is just love and love of the most exquisite kind, the kind which people do not admit even to themselves,"

Dear Andrew Lloyd Webber,

It's time to put the Phantom down and back away slowly.

I understand that you had to make changes to the plot so you could fit the main points into a stage show. I don't really understand why you had to change those changes for a film, but everyone really wanted a movie version and the teeny-boppers seemed to like it.

What truly boggles my mind is making a sequel based on a book that most fans of the story (or phans) hate. Then to change the few good points in the book...

You're one of my favorite composers so I'm saying this from a place of love.

Put the Phantom down and move on.

Sincerely,
A dedicated fan of the book and the musical.

So tonight was just Ryan (MacBeth), Ken (MacDuff), Mike (Dir.), and me.

With Mike there to stand behind me and say "I want to see it like Naomi said." things went sooooooo much smoother. The guys got the fight and Ken, after an hour and a half, clicked on the "side step, lift the sword, lunge" combo, which is why he is made of Awesome!

You know what else is made of awesome? Warm blueberry pie with chocolate ice cream!
Also the "Eureka" writers for quoting "The Princess Bride".
