Seems? Nay, I know not "seems"...

Fanfic, writings, and musings.


Quite!entertaining!meme.

Well, its that meme where you choose twelve characters from a fandom, and then answer questions on them...and I've chosen Julius Caesar. Surprisingly.



Fic: Dr. Faustus slash. Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?
[info]casablancagirl
Title: Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?
Fandom: Dr. Faustus.
Characters: Dr. Faustus, Helen of Troy, Mephistopheles
Pairing: Faustus/Helen, Faustus/Mephistopheles
Rating: M
Word count: App. 440
Summary: Helen is very beautiful, and Faustus falls asleep with her in his arms. And is somewhat surprised when he wakes up.


 

 

She was beautiful. Extra words would be an insult to the radiance she possessed... )

Fic: Hamlet/Dr.Faustus crossover. "More things in Heaven and Earth."
[info]casablancagirl
 
Title: More things in Heaven and Earth.
Fandom: Dr. Faustus/Hamlet.
Characters: Hamlet, Dr. Faustus, Mephistopheles.
Pairing: Implied Faustus/Mephistopheles, implied unrequited Faustus/Hamlet.
Rating: PG
Word count: App. 1060
Summary: While at university at Wittenburg, Hamlet approaches a very famous man for help.
A/N: Well, this whole idea came from my seeing a production of Dr. Faustus on Friday, and thinking two things. First - "Ooh, gosh, he's at Wittenburg. Hamlet's at Wittenburg!" And second - "Oh, Faustus and Mephistopheles have such a thing for each other." I was also thinking more academic thoughts, honestly.  This is set in a vaguely nineteenth century AU, like the production of Faustus I saw.

 

 

More things in heaven and earth. )

Is this the real life...

Okay, so I also make weird fanvids. I forgot to mention. This is the film 1984 (John Hurt, Richard Burton) set to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

Resurrection!

Well, I've decided to start actually posting on my journal again, intending to use it as a general place to post my fanfic, original fic, and poetry! And to start, I'll post links to most of my previous fanfic. (Or as much as I can find, anyway. *looks dubious*)

Enjoy!

 

Diverse Shakespeare slash this way... )


 

Nineteenth century literarure slash _this_ way... )


 


Music
[info]casablancagirl
     I have a rather odd taste in music, really. Mixed is the word to describe it. I have Muse, Alice Cooper, Mika, Rolf Harris, Philip Glass and Andrew Lloyd Webber, among other things. This means that most people consider me somewhat odd.

Oh well.

Toodleoo! 

Writer's Block: Writing: Makes Me A Better Writer

What's been your biggest influence in making you a better writer?

 My biggest influence in making me a better writer has probably been my reading. Although cliched - well, it's true. It is important not to imitate others' style, however poor your own is. Let your own style free.

More poetry
[info]casablancagirl
Sorry for imposing this on you, but hey! You don't have to read them...

White rabbit

 

 

Where can she hide

In the cupboard in the mirror

Seen through the green bottle.

 

Too far back

The cupboard opens into wonderland

Alice got here first.

 

Painted nails

Seen through the white gloves

Red isn’t her colour.

 

Running on

Away from cards and rabbits

Into the old bookshop.

 

The playing cards

Lying on an autobiography

She plays patience.

 

She forgets

The cards never let go

She holds the ace.

 

Their eyes meet

The mime artist looks up from his book

Crime and Punishment

 

He joins in

A game of poker without the clubs

Staking the classics.

 

He folds

Turns himself back into the envelope

She puts him in her pocket.

 

The cupboard door

Locked by the Ace of Spades

She’s always in wonderland.

 

 

Poem
[info]casablancagirl

I'm afraid I have a tendency to write poetry, of all things. Here's my most recent. Please don't steal. On second thoughts, use wherever you like - just don't claim its your own. Mind you, I'd be flattered...

 

 

Who

Walks upon the balconies

Breathing air of dust and diamonds

Playing patience with his soul

Staking all

 

Who

Dreams alone and thinks alone

Dancing with the torment in his heart

Called to his duties, casts his dice

As in despair

 

Who

Sits on the glassy beach

Playing chess but no-one’s there

Nothing sacrificial no pieces lost at all

He loses again

 

Who

Smiles to himself when he

Turns the ocean waters red

And never knows he’s losing

Every day

 

Who

Knows?

 One food I refuse to try? Haggis. I am a vegetarian, Haggis sounds particularly unpleasant, so...

Intro - Me, My life, and My philosophy
[info]casablancagirl

          Good evening, and welcome. Welcome to what, you might ask - welcome to me and my world. I will be of no interest to most of the world, therefore will keep descriptions of myself to the minimum. Let it only be known that I am - well, I am who I am, and who I am should hopefully emerge throughout the course of my writings. My life is equally uninteresting to an outsider, and I shall say as little about my life as about myself. My philosophy is perhaps a little more interesting - or perhaps not. I shall describe it, nevertheless.
 
     I am a theistic existentialist, more or less. I am a church going C of E Christian, and as such subscribe to the beliefs of the Anglican church, such as they are. Existentialist in that I believe in general that good works are more important than faith - or at least of equal importance.

     I could go on now to write of my tastes in music, art, and literature, but shall abstain until future posts.

Adieu

Simone
