Bandwagons…

Is there nothing they won’t do to Pride and Prejudice?  Are people SO incapable of writing their own plots and characters?  Look, I know I wrote fanfic for years, and I know I DO have a project in the future which involves a “relook” at one of Bill’s plays, but I won’t be involving vampires and zombies and god knows what else.

Who is willing to bet that there will be werewolf Darcy before the end of 2010? Maybe I should clamber on that bandwagon….

ARGH!!!! Five more?  Thank you, chinae !!

You did see the zombie one, didn't you? I encounter this all the time with Phantom of the Opera, yet many of those are self-published. Very few expansions of Leroux's book are with traditional houses, unlike P&P (and most deal with Webber's movie and Gerry Butler in tight pants...)

Folks make Erik into a vampire all the time in print and in fanfic online. I suspect it is just easier to take and extreme twist then to ardently sit down and take the years it takes to research a continuation. I would rather respect the original author's vision then go to extremes...

Sweated blood for three years on The Madrigals until I landed the contract.

I have a sudden craving for cranberry juice now. (I should blog on this...)

Yes - it was this - after the zombie one - that made me see red. It just seems so crass. Definitely werewolves next. bleugh.
