mad_andyYou know, I'm in a remarkably good mood.
Not just because I have that rarest of things - a day off - but various things are looking not only positive, but interesting. And interesting is good, right? Right.
As 2007 was the year of the one-shot (for me, at least), it looks like 2008 might be the year of the Epic. Yeah, I know I said No More Epics... but I've got two to finish (A Matter Of Life And Death and Beneath These Waves), and an idea that's been drifting around in my mind for a while now is beginning to take shape. And it isn't something I can easily cover in a one-shot, not and do it justice.
I've been mooching the 'net, doing a little research, and I think this could be a good 'un. AU (natch), historical, set in the late seventeenth century. During the heady times of the Restoration, when the whole of England went bonkers for drinking, wenching, debauchery and general frivolity after the long, cold years of the Commonwealth that followed the Civil War.
It's going to be mostly Maiden and Zico - but then, I daresay a number of others will crop up here and there. Partly because I cannot resist the idea of men in tight pants and flowing cloaks, in the dark on Hampstead Heath (or any wild and wooly place, really) - lit by the hunter's moon, long hair stirred by a gusting breeze....
Heh.
Highwaymen, anyone?
