welcome to the master plan

So I'm working on a Peter/Susan fic for one of my auction winners, and though I love the idea and I'm having a lot of fun writing it so far, it's downright weird writing het. On the one hand, it's nice because I've always been better at writing from a female point of view. On the other hand...I'm just so damn used to slash. The chemistry of it's all different.

It's good for me as a writer, though. I mean, I love het. My all-time favorite OTP is het. I used to write it all the time. I still do in my original fic. Just...somewhere along the way, writing fic began to equal writing slash.

Still, I adore this pairing, and it's angsty and kinky enough to keep me VERY interested. Plus it takes place in between LWW and PC, and so I can reference all sorts of fun stuff from the undescribed-by-canon period when they were ruling in Narnia - which I've totally always wanted to explore more.

This is why I need people to prompt me more often - it breaks me out of my usual rut, and I'm always happy when I realize that there's so much more out there.

DEAR GOD WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS MUSICAL???

*calms*

Ok, so it's called Elisabeth, and it's in German. I really don't know why I didn't look further into foreign language musicals after you showed me that French one, Manda, but I didn't. This one totally makes me wish I had!

Why I like it, having seen all of two songs of the thing:

Hot guy plays Death.

Death seduces a girl: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=4aUQ75rIEfc
Death seduces a guy: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=ihwHC8xCTnc

Death is incredibly, incredibly sexy and quite a good singer as well, plus he totally has a David Bowie vibe going on.

I would SO give in, if confronted by this incarnation of Death. *grin*

I desperately want this on DVD, but as best as I can tell, it would cost me about 50 bucks with the dollar being so damn weak right now. *sigh*

ETA: And just when I thought I'd seen the best of this guy, here he is in another musical playing a gay vampire in love with a vampire hunter (are you KIDDING ME? I was obviously born in the wrong country!): http://youtube.com/watch?v=lSChnQ2aDE8

^^make sure you watch this one to the end!

So. Just finished Harry Potter 7. Overall, quite an entertaining and exciting read.

( Spoilers under the cut! )

So I think I've decided that the best way to ship the Pirates fandom is just to pair everyone with everyone else. Because, come on, look at the possiblities: Jack/Elizabeth, Jack/Will, Jack/Barbossa, Jack/Norrington, Jack/Tia, Barbossa/Elizabeth, Barbossa/Will, Barbossa/Tia, Will/Tia, Elizabeth/Tia, Elizabeth/Norrington, Jack/Will/Elizabeth, Jack/Will/Norrington, Jack/Will/Barbossa, Jack/Barbossa/Elizabeth...it goes on and on! I'd read ANY of that, no kidding (though my recent faves are Barbossa/Elizabeth and Barbossa/Jack - both very, very nice!). *loves fandom SO MUCH!*
