I have FINALLY finished A Whole New World, my Aladdin/I Dream of Jeannie/J-rock super mashup hybrid. It was a LONG fic to write - so long I had to split it into three chapters, and then the first chapter had to be subsplit into two parts - but it was a lot of fun to do. And this all came about because I happened to spot a picture on Tumblr (see the icon) of Subaru looking for all the world like a genie in a bottle. Yo-ka ended up cast in the "Princess" role of the supermodel the main character (MiA) is infatuated with because of a
photoshoot where he looks like, well, a supermodel. And yeah, the porn pool makes another appearance. I am never going to let that go. XD
It seems that every time I write one of these urban fantasy/legendary creature stories, they turn out huge. Here's the word counts on those kind of fics, according to AO3:
Part Of Your World (Merfolk): 17,712
A Fairy's Tale (self-explanatory): 17,834
Another Fairy's Tale: 13,986
Catch a Falling Star (Alien): 12,937
Heart of the Ocean (Selkie): 12,544
. . . and the all-time, I Can't Believe I Wrote The Whole Thing champion . . .
A Whole New World (Genie): 27,447
(Oh, and The Camera Eye as a whole is now 266,527 words. Um, yay?)
