Games thread!

Hooray! Post is up!

This is one of the reasons why I don't get that excited about Rowling's writing skills. She's a decent storyteller... which isn't quite the same thing. Her world building is shaky, she doesn't put much thought into the details beyond a fairly superficial "ooh, this is nifty!" sort of way and that's why some of it works and some of it doesn't.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you, but... yeah, a lot of fanfic writers just don't like to do research. Not even a little bit. Especially not about things that might take the shine off whatever neat thing they want to include in their fic.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll take it even if it's just the setting and the vibe. The actual plot of Stoker's story isn't great tbh, but I want the gothiness and sexiness and terror.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh.

If one of your favorite books got made into an adaptation...

[(Anonymous)]

... would you want them to stick to the book version pretty closely? Or do you like to see different interpretations of the canon?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know. I like the basic plot of the story, edited down a little for film.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't hate the plot of the original novel. I do dislike how much of it relies on Idiot Ball. But I think it's kind of difficult to adapt it for movies/TV because it's a little disjointed between the part in Transylvania and the rest of the story in England. And I think it's kind of well-worn at this point. The Coppola version, for example, generally follows the book plot fairly closely (even if you hate Keanu Reeves).

I was pretty happy with the weird universe they created out of Thomas Harris' Red Dragon when making Hannibal. It's nothing like the book at all and I am strangely a-okay!

[(Anonymous)]

Lol.

For me, I hate to say it, but since the original was animation and this one is animation, I kind of don't see the point, since I assume it'll be similar scene-by-scene. It'll just feel weird seeing the characters talk with the "wrong" voices, especially Young Simba and Adult Simba.

I guess Mufasa is still the same voice though :D

[(Anonymous)]

Ha, true though. Plus it's kind of funny that anyone would be shocked to find out the dude was a werewolf at Hogwarts with a name like that. Like, of course he's a fucking werewolf.

[(Anonymous)]

That was me when I was a college student - whether in class or during my campus job at the library.

But now I am a grownup with a salaried job, and my fic is kinkier than ever, and I...

oh who am I kidding, I still do it, but on my personal laptop when it isn't on a work internet connection because I'm paranoid.

Good news thread!

[(Anonymous)]

What is yours? Or what good news have you seen?

Re: If one of your favorite books got made into an adaptation...

[(Anonymous)]

I think it can be really interesting to see different takes on the canon, actually.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a Meaingful Name, like all Meaningful Names, and Harry Potter has them all over.

[(Anonymous)]

IDK, naming your kid like that for no reason actually seems like something wizards would do

Re: Good news thread!

[(Anonymous)]

The Camp Fire is finally contained!

[(Anonymous)]

I guess counterpoint would be "Draco" Malfoy. Who isn't a dragon. But is a douchey little jerk, so I guess it was prophetic in its own way.

[(Anonymous)]

Ironically the main trio has delightfully meaningless names. "Harry Potter" is such a fantastic and unassuming name, going by nothing but rhythmic satisfaction. Ron and Hermoine, too.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe that's why the Potter kids are all named like that, maybe bad names are required by wizard law

[(Anonymous)]

Man, what is even shameful on that show? This is not a joke, I am genuinely curious.
