Have never seen the horror in Frankenstein or the latest version of King Kong for that matter. Kong was a love story that was cursed by size differences and species. Frankenstein never asked to be re-animated and other than some PTSD which expressed in anger management issues seemed like nice folk.

This was an amusingly serious and interesting twist on gender identity (am so confused on the GNPs)/Differently Animated prejudice. Makes one think. I liked it.

JUST noticed the icon. *snickers*

The icon is one of Dibbs', and yes, it's awesome. :D

Well, Frankenstein was actually the name of the creator, not the monster (sorry, I did study this in Lit) which, in a way, makes it all the more scary to think about - who's the monster, here? The person who reanimated the dead, or the dead hirself?

It's actually strange to consider the fact that vampires are romanced, idealised, and accepted as something more human than a horror villain, even being fictional. I didn't quite realise that in the same way until I found myself writing Pat and Moon's conversation...

Thank you. I'm really pleased to know it had that effect. There's more info on GNPs here, if you're interested. At the moment - there's pretty much no way to make them not confusing, and I'm not even at all sure we should try...

Frankenstein's Monster.. I knew that. Was avoiding calling him a monster because he wasn't really. The really monster in my opinion was the insane doctor but theoretically he was experimenting with dead flesh and at that time the thought was the soul was gone.

[theskimblishone]

I think given the period it's set in, just experimenting with dead flesh would have been more than taboo enough, and hence monstrous... Although, Frankenstein wasn't insane. Just a little misguided and obsessed...

I really should go back and read again, it's been too long. :)

I always took the point of Frankenstein to be that it was the dr who was the monster, the creation was a child learning it's enviroment and on a wider perspective the people in their fear formed the monster with how they reacted to him.

[theskimblishone]

In terms of 'there are some places that humanity should not go, ever', very much so.

I mean, what's the creature supposed to do, being alone and denied companionship and affection and everything else we take for granted?
