waking dreams

Soooo... a while back someone mentioned the idea of writing a series of 'fractured fairytale' fanfics. It's an awesome idea, but I forgot it after a while.

At least until a related idea showed up...

it'd be essentially very similar, only this would be taking either the plot in general, or just a particular scene, from a musical and... adjusting it with characters from one of my many, many fandoms.

So far, I've got:

The song "I Know Him So Well" (Chess), with DW/Torchwood. (I can't decide if the song is Jack/Doctor or Jack/Ianto. It might even be both....)

A very specific scene from Les Miserables, with Leverage. My brain has apparently cast Parker as Cosette. So... yeah.

The third idea (so far...) is probably my favourite: The Phantom of the (Genetic) Opera. Basically, Phantom of the Opera, with Repo! characters.

(Pavi is the Phantom, Shilo is Christine, Graverobber is Raoul.)

Now, I just have to find the time to actually *write* these. Heh.

Here's a couple of things I haven't told anyone yet...

first... I saw Slumdog Millionaire recently, and I loved it. Afterwards I went and bought the OST, because the music in that movie is just beautiful.

The thing is... it's so good, it makes me want to dance myself to the point of exhaustion. (Not kidding.) So the guy who did the music for the movie (I forget his name) - is some kind of genius.

Second thing...

A few days ago I discovered REPO! The Genetic Opera. I've been listening to it a lot...

...and I really, really want to write lots of Shilo/GraveRobber fic. Despite the age gap (Shilo's seventeen) and the fact that GraveRobber is a... well, a graverobbing drug dealer.

Oh, and I also really, really, really want something to be worked out so that Shilo can be the next companion on Doctor Who. Face it, Shilo and Eleven would rock, travelling the universe and saving worlds together.
