I've never posted this here before but at this point, I'm pretty sure I have enough roleplayers on my f-list to make this worthwhile. Give it to me, bbs.
*will look soon!* I actually have listened to the recording on LND. I'm...not sure how I feel about it yet? I love "Beautiful" like burning, omg do I love Gustave's voice, and "Devil Take the Hindmost" and quartet is awesome, but I can't make up my mind about the rest. I kept feeling like I was stuck in the middle of a fanfic. Which isn't exactly a bad thing, just odd. XD I will definitely see it in theater though, when it comes stateside.
BUT THIS IS GOOD NEWS, that you're still in love with Phantom. PM me your address? I'll see if I can get a few movie paraphernalia to you. I have this fan with the print of them on the balcony on one side, and Phantom and Christine being all dramatic on the other. And I think I had a signed photo and some other knick knacks. I was going to put them up for the haiti auction, but then remembered you absolutely love Phantom. So I put it aside for you! ♥
Mirage of Blaze! Oh man, I still have fics and fanvids I never posted for that. LOL, good times. I have no shame in taking the blame!
YES WELL, this is why my fics haven't really gone anywhere in a few years, rofl. Oh really? I had no idea you also RP! :O Where do you play at? Which characters do you have? And if you say you're playing one of the Viewfinder guys at amatomnes, I'll seriously flail.
oh good heaven no, no VF rping. Just good old d&d with a group of friends, real pen&paper stuff. However we do make up our own stories. We had this session going on for almost two years and then one of the guys had to leave for military service so it went on hiatus. Then about a year and half ago we started this new thing that was based on an idea I had for a novel of sorts. My friend offered to help me with the world building and then I sort of pushed the dming on her and now the whole thing has reached epic proportions. The plan still is to write it eventually but the way it's developed we've already got material for a whole series, not just one book. It's rather terrifying really
hell I got carried away with the rp talk and I forgot to *weeeeeeeeeeeee* about the phantom stuff :) It's really really nice of you to think of me and i can't thank you enough. How do I pm you on LJ? never done it before Re: LND, I don't know, I really loved it from the first notes. I think my favourite bit is "under a moonless sky" especially towards the end of the song, but I really live the gustave/phantom duet and "devil take the hindmost" is my sister's and mum's favourite. When I'd first heard "till I hear you sing" a few months ago, I'd thought it was rather sappy, but I found the recording in the actual show very powerful and the song has definitely grown on me. You're right about the fanfiction thing, my other friend and colleague also said it's like a brilliant fanservice the way the phantom is now the love interest of two women and poor raoul is totally thrown to the dogs. Still that isn't a bad thing in my book (though I did love gaston leroux's raoul and it's a shame none of the adaptations have kept him the way he was in the novel). All in all I think I can safely say I absolutely love LND (and I almost, almost committed sacrilege by thinking for a bit that, musically at least, I might even like it more than the original phantom). Oof, I haven't ranted online in a really long time, hope I didn't wear you out :D:D:D
