In anime, I just finished Princess Tutu. Yes, the name sounds ridiculous, but if you like fairy tales, storytelling, ballet, or classical music at all, I highly recommend it. Oh my goodness does it employ its classical soundtrack to use well! It basically put me back on a classical music kick. It's very meta about fairy tales and stories as well, which I absolutely loved - it pulls from things like The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Hans Christen Andersen to build a beautiful and somewhat dark new fairy tale. I mean, it's main character is a duck named Duck who transforms into a girl who transforms into Princess Tutu. How can you not love it?
oh, yes, yes, it's one of my favorites :D [I have written some fic for it] I may post them in my LJ later [and get around to doing some more icons] Favorite pairing?
was able to see two shows recently that I've wanted to see for ages - the first was Beauty and the Beast Broadway, which came to Sacramento. It was really enjoyable, but so many kids! Kids literally being passed back and forth

At first I really liked Rue/Fakir and Mytho/Duck, but in the end I was really glad the way things ended up. Rue/Mytho was really well thought out, and Fakir/Duck was pretty much adorable (though I so wish she had been able to stay human, I was proud of the series for being bittersweet like the original tales).
Yesssss, I want to see your fic now too. XD
I've listened to that soundtrack to death as well! I was really sad that for some reason this performance didn't include "No Matter What" (the Maurice/Belle song), which I really loved and was totally waiting for. :(
I'll get the fic posted later [I have a couple that I'm writing so I need to figure out which one gets posted first] and I did reference a bit of Swan Lake [the OFC refuses to let Drosselmeyer make her relive her days as Odette, saying that life is dead to her
( ... )
Oh, and I loved that in the stage version the enchantment is progressive. Like, they continue to transform into their objects until they no longer possess any human-like qualities.

Oh! I'm going to start up a new prompt table in April! Also, I've been writing a more adult fic for Dragon Flyz. Would you like the link to it on AFF?
