Vee.

Vee, I hope you actually like unicorns and that wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment suggestion.

Because I have now written you about 5,000 words worth of unicorns.  That's... kind of like a drabble, right?

*hangs head in shame*  This is what happens when people let me write mythology.  Especially if I can somehow take the bare bones and make it into whatever structure I want.

Funnily enough, I'd look upon a fanfic that casts Enjolras as Jason in the same manner as I would the one who casts Ramin. At that point, you're writing thinly-veiled RPF. It's why I can't stand fanart that depicts Enjolras as an actor as well. It's not Enjolras, it's just that guy portraying him. And each actor has their own interpretation. So when a person uses that, I assume they're illiterate, half-baked idiots. Severe, sure, but I have no patience to spare.

It's why I don't read anyone's fanfic, really, save for the ones posted here.

While I think it's legitimate to write musical-centric fic as long as that's what it's labeled as (and thus to cast one of the actors as Enjolras if that's who's seen), I usually find it much more fulfilling to pull musical-only things into the Brick universe (like the Gavroche-Grantaire relationship). Mainly because the Brick universe is just so much fuller and deeper than the musical could ever hope to be, but the musical makes some interesting decisions that could be fun to play with.

I tend not to read much fic other than what's posted to the community, either, or fic by people who talk to me through reviews and seem like intelligent and nice individuals. RobertaWickham on ff.net (bobbiewickham on dreamwidth) writes some good stuff, including a canon-era Buffy crossover with Enjolras as a female slayer, that's worth checking out. Otherwise... yeah, otherwise I mainly read you guy's work and tinker about on my own.
