Wilby Wonderful, yay!

[luzula]

I've finally gotten around to watching Wilby Wonderful! This was instead of packing for my dogsledding trip, so I'll have to do that tomorrow. I liked the movie a lot--it was just very human, and I liked how slow it was. There were moments when I went "awww" and others when I went "yay!!" and others where I was making worried noises. I loved how the camera went wandering during tense scenes so we couldn't see what happened.

It didn't immediately make me want to write, though. I guess I just need to feel that I've known characters a while before I try that.

Tomorrow at work I will abuse my printing privileges and print out some of the WW stories nos4a2no9 recced, to take with me on my 24 hour train journey. I have other unread goodies, as well, like china_shop's The Sweet Hereafter, and a selection of Yuletide fics. Mmm, I like overnight train journeys. I'll try to do some longhand writing, too.

Also, I have lately been writing genderfuck Fraser/Thatcher set in S2. That pairing just suddenly became interesting (and hot) to me when I turned Fraser into a woman. Yeah, one more WIP. Of course, I also have a WIP which is pretty close to completion, so it evens out...

Hooray! I'm so glad you finally saw the movie! I love it to pieces, and I think it really is the sort of film that grows on you. Reading the fic will, I think, prove more inspirational in terms of writing. I predict that you will write a Wilby story very quickly: the show and the fanfiction really seem to dovetail nicely with a lot of your writerly interests, and I can already imagine how good you'll be at writing Dan. Enjoy the recs, and if you'd like any further links please let me know. I think two of those stories are quite short, so you might want more sooner than you think.

*blinks* Have fun with that! And, damn, I owe you an email, don't I? I'll get right on it, Chief.

Yeah, I think I'll want to rewatch WW. And I do know where the WW fic index is, so I'll explore that!

Ha, and you thought you could predict my writerly interests! *g* Yeah, it sort of came out of the blue, but it's interesting to explore how Fraser would react to becoming a woman, and contrasting that with Thatcher, who's been a woman in a male-dominated environment for a long time.
