gary oldman let's do it

[cimorene]

so many things to slash, so little time.

i want to type up the whole of rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead so i'll have it as reference when i finally get around to slashing tim roth and gary oldman.* i have a promise from wolfsage that if she ever gets to see the movie she'll write some too and then we'll have a fandom... two stories IS enough for a fandom, isn't it?

*the urge to slash the fictional characters is there too, but i'm suppressing hard.

THAT SOUNDS AWESOME.

epic. <3

i've never done a co-write before but i think that would be totally COOL. splitting POVs like... one of us is ros's pov and the other is guil.? because i think that would rock. i've actually been meaning to try to get into the differences between them. i'm going to re-read the play with that in mind but it's quite difficult. the differences are small but they're there, for sure. i'm awful with that, though, i just read it right through and hardly paid attention to who was saying what.

i think i am misestimating the time. the plot is a little hazy but i'm re-reading hamlet this weekend so i'll probably be more clear then.

okay, i'm so excited now. and i have about 2 minutes to get to my physics class. how am i going to concentrate? i don't know. XD

i'm really excited too. when i got the idea i was all shivery and bouncy! yeah!

i have co-written once before with wax. (i don't know if you read harry potter, or how you feel about sirius/remus, but she wrote sirius and i wrote remus in the epicky novel thing (http://www.rightthisway.net/cimorene/hp/thing.html).) it worked out pretty well, especially because we had the timelines separated... the hardest part was mapping out the storyline in advance so that the two timelines would match up to each other, as it were. we did a lot of our writing and brainstorming in aim--do you have aim? if we're going to cowrite we'll definitely want to chat. :)

if you re-read hamlet, that reinforces the idea that they're interchangeable. but if you pay attention in the play, ros. is much more innocent and kinda dorky. guil. is more intelligent and sort of takes care of ros. for instance, in playing at questions--guil. wins. guil. wants to 'question and answer' to glean hamlet's problem; ros. doesn't get what he's saying. and when the tragedians are basically offering sex for money, it takes ros. forever to realize it, then he's intrigued in spite of himself and guil. has to step in. ARG. so sweet!

yes, i do have aim! i don't usually use it unless i have a reason to so i don't tend to tell people the name, but this would be a reason to use it, for sure. sn is 'why nicola' (or maybe 'whynicola', i'm not sure if it matters). et toi?

hee, i like harry potter. ^_^ i haven't read your story but maybe i will! haven't been in a hp mood lately but i'm sure i will be eventually.

but yeah, if we can work it out ahead of time, it shouldn't be a problem. this is going to be awesome! :D we can work out the main story arc, figure out around how long it would be, and which part each of us would be writing.... when do you want to chat? i can right now if you want, but not for too long... i have dinner at my grandmothers.

rah, thanks for that. i need to get a small grip on which one is which before i can get a firm grip, if you know what i mean. so gary oldman plays rosencrantz? it's funny, cuz i remember him being the smarter one.... but it was a while back so i could have simply blurred the memory.

no, the spaces don't matter--i'm cimcesa. i've been offline writing for a few days. :) we'll catch up to each other sometime. plus, we both have other stories to finish first. so we have plenty of time to chat.

well, in the movie, ros. beats guil. at questions. but guil. is in general the smarter one, i think. however, ros. is preoccupied with the laws of physics (dropping a ball and a feather, swinging the hanging pots) and whatnot while guil. is more focused on what they're doing. but ros. is definitely a bit good-naturedly dim. ::sniff:: their loooove. it's so... poignant.

sounds good! i'll try to remember to sign on this time.

aaah i want to see the movie again. ;_;

me too... they have it on vhs at a store we went to last night, but i have no tv here--just jenny's dvd drive. it's not even ON dvd. i'm annoyed. really annoyed. well, stymied. ;.;

[wolfsage.livejournal.com]

i have a vcr in my room. i'll "settle" for a vhs. ;D i don't usually care which one i get, except in case a dvd has special features i would want to watch.

i'm still waiting for blockbuster to phone me back. ~_~
