An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I have read this so many times in the past few weeks. Ace!Sherlock fics are my favorite thing right now. Kudos to ahazytruth for pointing me to this one. (And most of the others I've read.)

Frankenstein and Friendship

Victor Frankenstein is a selfish bastard, but he says some really nice things about the beauty of childhood friendships shortly before he dies: "Even where the affections are not strongly moved by any superior excellence, the companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds, which hardly any later friend can obtain. They know our infantile dispositions, which, however they may be afterwards modified, are never eradicated; and they can judge of our actions with more certain conclusions as to the integrity of our motives." In a celebration of childhood friendships, here's to you, ahazytruth.

Hey so I know you're very passionate about Broadway and bootlegging, so I thought I'd run an idea by you. I was thinking about how it's difficult because, you know, Broadway as an establishment is ridiculously inaccessible (I live in the Midwest, so), but also actors should get paid for their work and all. So I was wondering if it'd be feasible for Broadway to adopt a program similar to that of the Metropolitan Opera -- I can't include a link, so google live in hd metropolitan opera (1/?).

Basically, the Met broadcasts most of their shows every season to movie theaters across the nation and across the Globe, so it's professionally filmed and all (so there's a DVD at the end of the season!) and guests only pay the cost of a movie ticket. Which is all cool enough, except instead of just feeding you a picture of an empty theatre during intermission, there are interviews with the cast and creatives. So yeah, I think it's a pretty great program.  So basically, my point is, would a model like this work for Broadway? Obviously it'd be more difficult, since there are more theatres at play, but it seems like a good compromise. Broadway becomes way more accessible, they still get a profit, DVDs can be made available easier, etc. Do you think it could fly? You seem like you know a lot more about how Broadway works than I do, so you seemed like a good person to ask.

Oh my goodness, I didn't know much about the Met broadcasts but this is the coolest idea ever! I know I seem like I know a lot about shows, but i'm not super certain how Broadway would handle something like this??? But this seriously is the greatest thing ever.

About the blogger

Normally I ignore these sorts of posts, but auburnandivory-andpassionsofiery actually asked really great questions, so I'm going to go ahead and do the thing. Sorry. Please feel free to ignore.

RULES: 


Rule 1. Always post the rules.


Rule 2. Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones. 


Rule 3. Tag 11 people and link them to the post. 


Rule 4. Actually tell them you tagged them.

1) Hogwarts house? And if you couldn’t be in that house, what other house would you be in?

I've gone through a lot of angst trying to figure this out, but I think in the end I'm a Hufflepuff. Second choice: Ravenclaw. 

2) Which Disney character do you relate most to and why?

Elsa. Just...too many reasons to explain. Other than Elsa: Belle, because she loves books and cares about kindness and being open-minded, and Rapunzel, because I have tons of random artistic hobbies, and I'm pretty sure I constantly annoy people with my ridiculous bubbliness and optimism.

3) Outer space or under the sea?

Probably outer space. It's a close call, though.

4) Cats or dogs and what does it say about you?

Erm, both? I like any cute fluffy things that tolerate me petting them?

5) What is your OTP? What about BrOTP?

If I limit myself to Tumblr fandoms, OTP: Enjolras and Grantaire (Johnlock coming in as a very, very close second). BrOTP: Fred and George. (Do they count?)

6) AO3 or fanfiction.net?

AO3, usually.

7) Favorite color (be descriptive!)

Light, clear, almost-translucent blue, the color just to the right of the sun on a cool spring day.

8) Favorite Shakespeare Play?

Dude. Great question. Henry V. 

9) What would you do if you woke up and everything up to this point was a dream and today was the first day of 6th grade?

Cry. I'm sorry for the non-descriptive answer, but I've had a lot of good things happen to me since sixth grade. I'd probably just curl up in a ball and cry for a long time.

10) If you were a non-corporeal object, thing,being, or concept, what would you be? (Like…Autumn, or Hope, or Love, or Revenge, or the Sun or Moon, or Mother Flame, etc.)

Imagination.

11) What is the one thing you want most out of life?

Love. Not necessarily romantic, although that would be nice, too. Just deep love for a lot of people, for the world, for myself, for my life. 

My questions: 

1. Fictional role model? (and why?)

2. Real life role model? (and why?)

3. Favorite book you've ever had to read for school?

4. Ideal career/job?

5. Give a shout-out to one friend whom you love a lot and don't tell often enough. Doesn't have to be someone on Tumblr, though it can be.

6. Favorite type of ethnic food?

7. Do you have a lot of secrets, or do the people in your life mostly know everything about you?

8. What was your first fandom?

9. If you could cure the world of one evil, what would it be? Answer in only one word.

10. Something you love that you think is underappreciated?

11. How do you think other people perceive you?
