One of these days letters are going to fall from the sky

HELLO FRIENDS NEW AND OLD. HAPPY MARCH!

So..here 3 things that smack of goodness:
1. reel_merlin   signups! Seeing as I've been having a bit of fun with fic writing, I thought I'd try to sign up for something like this.  I read the completed entries over there in the fall and then asked myself "Self, what movie would I want to cross over with Merlin?". And then it hit me and refused to go away...I want a Merlinized version of The Fifth Element. With Arthur!Corbin Dallas and Merlin!Lilu. That's right, Merlin is going to be Milla Jovovich, only with magic instead of martial skills and no orange hair. I might be crazy, BUT I'M EXCITED, FOLKS.

2. March! Which means spring is on its way and kayak season is almost here! (Until I get a drysuit and perfect my roll..then it's on all 4 seasons)

3. Explaining plate tectonics to my coworkers using pizza slices and spatulas for props.

And 3 photos I for the road


That's a Sheppard Fairey piece (of HOPE poster fame) near work

   

Took these on the way to work today. I didn't do it, honest!

I was thinking of signing up too! Probably will. :) For The Way We Were, actually, because I saw the sign-ups announced and went "hmmmmmmm!"

Oh wow..you're going classic for your fic! Who's got what role?

If you've got Arthur and Merlin in the main 2 roles I'm already sad b/c I know how it ends, but I'm sure it will be brilliant and angst hurts good.

I have yet to write angst in fandom. That would require me to be serious. Instead I have my characters saving the world in a slightly-cracky future-world. Ah, well..that's me :P

>.> Well, yeah that actually is how I was planning on going about it, actually! Though well done on knowing the classics well enough to know how it ends. It's one of my favorite movies of all time, honestly! I've got a lot of interesting ideas for it, how to blend the story stories, etc! But Arthur strikes me as such a perfect Hubble, and Merlin could fill Katie's outspokeness SO well...

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

You're right...I can totally see Arthur as Hubble and activist!Merlin as Katie. Don't take my being sad as a bad thing, I actually think it's a really great story and love the fact that you're picking a classic film!

It is a really good movie and I hope you do it!

Glad you agree :) I hope there are other people who know the film!! I plan on at least claiming it, and hopefully getting it written...Lots of ideas!
