I knew fanfiction would come in handy sometime! + Farscape fic recs
Yesterday I started a new workshop which looks promising. It's called "dramatisation of prose" (or the correct English equivalent, anyway) but we started with a couple of creative writing exercises, the first of which was to write the rant against the sky of an astronaut lost in space. I started by putting down on my page "John Crichton", and went on writing feverishly for that character and Ben Browder's voice *draws ♥ around Ben Browder's performances*. Even with only ten minutes' time I wrote two full pages longhand (more than many others) and it came out decent enough. As soon as I was done reading it aloud, the professor asked me if I had visualised a particular setting, or actor, or character for it ;-P and so I mentioned Mr. Browder and Farscape, but I don't think he knew them. Another girl said she had visualised Bruce Willis in "Armageddon", and another had written a very surreal tale that was The Little Prince (Only With A Little Girl Instead Of The Prince) which was rather baffling.
But! This did send me down the path of reminicence (ah, Farscape!) of, er... actually last summer is when I watched the series the first time, but I was still rather nostalgic. Oh, John Crichton! You suffer so beautifully you're such a h/c dream come true!
And it did remind me that I've found a wonderful set of fics for this series that I never recced. It's a series of episode tags/missing scenes that cover the entire first season, so there a bit too many to rec individually, but I loved reading every single one of them, even when the summary didn't entice me much. They're wonderfully well written and characterised, and whole heartedly reccomended. Check out Season of Innocence, at chazjazz 's livejournal.
