mad_andyFeeling somewhat better this morning.
Have huge zits erupting on face. Will probably still have them when I go to see Man-Raze next week. *Grrr* Stupid hormones.
EddieFic going well. Although I did realise last night that I've called the damn thing the same as Kelpie's Eddiefic. Oh well. No rule to say that you can't have more than one fic with the same title, although if I'd realised I would have called it something else. I'm not sure whether I'm more alarmed that I'm writing this sort of vengeful violence so easily, or that people like it so much. Hmmm.
BIL kept texting me last night. He has a day off and would like to come over and... er... well, I don't think he wants to drink tea and chat. If he weren't married to my sister I'd take him up on his offer. Trouble is I'm a terrible liar, and it would be sure to get out - and as much as my sister drives me up the pole, I wouldn't do that to her.
Just my luck that my husband is a libido-less lump, and my BIL is oversexed. *Sigh*
I was really evil in my past life, I reckon.

Date: 2005-09-23 12:44 pm (UTC)And another thing that occurred to me was that in its own twisted way, I reckon Andy's fic could be classed as a fairytale of sorts, and everyone loves a fairytale, right? In fact, if anything it's fairytale mythology revamped and improved, cos one of the faults of a lot of fairytales if you consider them as wish-fulfilment is that the heroine winds up having to abandon one desire in order to fulfil the other. The Princess can't marry the Prince and hang out with the dragon, can she?
But what Andy's done is to get rid of the dichotomy by making her actual villains completely disposable and instead using the Beast (in whatever sense you will ;) ) for her hero. The heroine (and therefore the reader) doesn't have to choose between the noble protector and the terrifying-but-fascinating monster, because in this instance they're the same guy. Perfect fantasy, basically. *grins*
...and all of this is why we love our Eddie. And why we bow before Andy. *gets back to the bowing* :)
