And on the topic of vampire musicals...

[winter]

Lestat is closing this Sunday

With 39 "official" performances, I believe it did even worse than Crawford's version of Dance of the Vampires. Considering Elton John's comments about a new kind of vampire musical with "no garlic, no crosses, absolutely no dancing vampires", I can't help but chuckle a little. Like von Krolock in my icon.

I pity the cast, though. They assembled such a lot of talented people, it's not their fault the music was trite...

Comments

And half the flamewars would be about the artistic merit of his angsty poetry. Not to mention the fact that he'd be lucky no-one could tell who the pretty blond plastered all over his LJ layout is ;)

There's a crack-fic for you - VK discovers the joy of LJ :P

[winter]

You do know I'd have to set it in your universe? :P

(I'm stuck on screenname though. And Herbert's.)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

*GRINS!* Do so! I shall squee :D

VK's would be something pretentiously artsy and symbolic that no one would understand. Herbert would go for directness, although he's indignant that hotass is taken :D

[winter]

My Herbert's turn to giggle about certain people's maturity, I think ;)

Goldenhaar for Herbert, I think. VK... meerderzeit?

(And testing names just now, I can't believe there's no user darkgrail on LJ. I'm about to grab that name just because it's so spiffy.)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

Herbert's making faces here and says it was a joke ;) I'm not convinced.

(And ohh! Darkgrail is very pretty!)

[winter]

*eyedart*

I think I'll grab darkgrail. Just in case I ever play VK in an rpg of any sort ;)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

*g* I could play my Herbert against your VK, just for the fun of it.

[winter]

*eyedart apiat'* Once I have a bit of time... :>

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

*grins* Likewise on this end :) Not like I have an abundance of the stuff myself.

[winter]

We might need a setting. A setup. And hell, I've only ever done straight-out comment, *actions in asterisks* drama-ho RP myself.

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

Ouch! The asterisk stuff would kill me. Prose is the best way to go :)

[winter]

With me channelling my VK? I'm wondering if my thesaurus would take the strain...

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

*grins* I could never manage that asteriskified way. When I first started RPG-ing, everyone seemed to play that way, but as players drifted away, we went into proper blocks of text and in past tense, which was so much easier.

[winter]

Meh, asterisks only work in silly crack RP anyway ;)

Actually, I did do paragraph RP once, in a second-age LOTR thing that alas fizzled out. I had a lovely Sauron, very evil and a total puppy for his Melkor. Rather Herbert-like. *uses his icon for old times' sake*

Anyway, I'd defer to you as the expert. And trust you to hold my hand for the first few posts ;)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

I really have RP'd too long in too many fandoms :D My babies are all hidden and good grief, I'd forgotten how many there were :D

Alas, that my main player in 4 of them has abandoned them and for the other, both our muses seem unconscious :(

[winter]

Oh dear, that IS quite a lot :D

Talk about it again once my thesis is done?

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

*salutes* I will wait eagerly :D Gah, I miss playing. We had threads running into the thousands of comments in some of the early days of the games. And our Legolas/Haldir... oh, they were sizzling.

[winter]

*eyedarts times infinity* Probably a good thing VK/Herbert is out of the question. RP smut... let's just say mine never turned out right.

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

*g* That was where I started writing smut for the first time. I'd never done it before and then, I got handed a Boromir muse who turned out to have issues with bondage and revelled in domination and control games. There was an incident with Aragorn and a fireplace which startled a few of the players ;)

[winter]

Oh, I had a wonderfully pervy muse too that got out of control on me spectacularly. But since the whole situation kind of imploded on me, I'm a bit wary :)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

*eyes the Marquis de Sade* Um...

[winter]

VK would like to remind you and the good Marquis that he has dark magic at his disposal. And a big dungeon, where people can starve to death even without being chained up.

(Also, I did grab darkgrail. Silly LJ now sets Sponsored as the default account level, can you believe it?)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

Actually, mortals who are twisted like the Marquis generally scare me more than vampires and suchlike. Even VK as a mortal probably wouldn't freak me out quite as much.

(*facepalms* LJ owners are dumbies)

[winter]

I'm saved by the fact all my perverts are vampires, witches and immortals, then ;) (Oh, and one cat demon. See RP that shall not be named.)

VK went grr louder than I did, I think. He maintains that the perfectly picked six icons will be quite enough.
