Inspiration is a beautiful thing...

Okay, the following was inspired by Dead Man. It takes place, I suppose, in William's head as he is swept away by the ocean. It's sort of a lament, I guess. I don't know. If you haven't seen the movie, you might still like it, though the nuances will be lost on you. LOL. Sorry if you don't get it, not that many people have seen Dead Man.

absolutely gorgeous.

That icon is abso-fuckin-lutely adorable. Oh my, I love it. LOL.

And thank you very much. Gorgeous isn't a word I get to hear often when concerning my fics, and I love it! Thank you!

thats awesome! bhwahha you rock. i loved that movie :P

[kho]

Heh. 'effin'. Like that.

And thank you very much. I lvoe it as well, as is apparent. LOL. I wanted to write it as soon as I finished watching it the first time a couple of days ago, but I held myself back til' I'd watched it a second time. Wanted to get the ambience right, make sure I'd caught atleast a little more of the nuances.

..teehee. i saw it a while ago, hm maybe i should rent it again...

Hah, and here I thought *I* was the only person to have written Dead Man slash.

This was quite good, dense and evocative with a well-summed-up ending. I look forward to reading more of your fic.

[kho]

Oh, have you?! Point me in the direction. I've not read anything else about Dead Man.

And thank you!

[ghostgecko]

I would, but apparently adultfanfiction.net has deleted my account. I'll put it up on my site (I don't have the file with me right now) and give you a link when I do that.

I posted "How the West Was Won and Where It Got Us" on my journal again if you'd like to read it.

dead man fics are a rare commodity. very few and far-apart. this was short, but beautifully written. i've often thought of writing my own dead man fic, but i can't think of what i'd write about. meh. i really like the movie and the character, and i'm glad you've written something about it.

i've read ghostgecko's fic "How the West Was Won." It's fucking brilliant. Read it as soon as you get the chance ^_~

[kho]

I'll have to find it. Thanks very much!

[puremalevolence]

if you give me your e-mail i could send it to you in an attatchment. i didn't bookmark it, but i saved it to my harddrive.

Actually, I remembered guede_mazaka telling me she'd rec'd it so I checked her memories and found it on contralemontre. Thanks though!

About your Dead Man poetic lament

[anonymous]

It was beautiful. Lyrical and contemplative and just so right. I wish I could hear Depp saying these things because then it would be perfect. Magnificent feeling behind the words. And somehow reminds me of Lords of the Ring and Boromir's boat burial. Perhaps because of the delicate poetry that somehow seems Elven to me.

Oh, God, I know. I'd love to send it to Johnny Depp and plead with him to make a vocal track of it. LOL. Who knows, Johnny being Johnny he might be flattered enough to do it.

Dude, now I'm tempted to do that.

Thank you very very much, I'm so glad you liked it. It's one of the pieces I'm most proud of.
