Author has written 10 stories for Patriot, Sherlock Holmes, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Misc. Movies, Village, Les Miserables, Kingdom of Heaven, Misc. Tv Shows, and Tess of the D'Urbervilles. I am middle-aged, Scottish, and a historian/art historian currently working in admin. History, literature, art, politics & c & c are my main passions. I have written fanfic for The Patriot (sic: I think of it as The Scud) from a Loyal pov, and a Conan Doyle/Hardy story in which Holmes and Watson investigate the stabbing of the unfortunate young Mr. d'Urberville. I have written a Ronald Firbank-y Le Pacte des Loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf) short story with a hint of Firbank, and a prologue based on the loosely RLS-inspired Napoleonic swashbuckler St Ives (All for Love). I love Les Mis (book and most film/musical versions), and Peter Watkins' brilliant (and very long) dramatisation La Commune: Paris 1871. I thought it would be interesting to speculate what Marius was up to then…I've started a fic on The Village: I was most upset at poor Noah's fate, and was determined he should be rescued. I've been working more recently on Kingdom of Heaven fics. I just need more time to finish everything! My most recent complete story is Survivors, a mildly warped rom-com/drama based on the 1983 supernatural thriller/Gothic romance TV serial, The Dark Side of the Sun. Watching the serial again in 2007, the OTP was so obvious that I was stunned we didn't get it! The two most interesting characters – the Templar and the psychiatrist – are made for each other! So I have brought them together, with the help of one or two original characters, some trobador allusions, and some historical snarking. I am now getting back into the Notre Dame de Paris (aka Hunchback of Notre Dame) fandom, a passion of mine since my teens (blame François Villon!). I am deeply disturbed by its Disneyfication, and console myself by imagining Dom Claude solemnly excommunicating those responsible. I have a long-term tendresse for that young man: the somewhat Dostoevskian, tortured and passionate intellectual as tragic hero/anti-hero… or, from where I'm sitting, toy-boy. I have plans for him. I should point out that h/c is a major weakness of mine. Doomed, damaged, but otherwise lovely young men in need of rescue and repair are guaranteed to inspire me… | |||||||||||
