So I'm thinking I might do a retelling for NaNoWriMo. I have to decide what the hell I'm going to retell. Gimme your opinions, thoughts, ideas.
A List of what I'm considering:
- Hamlet
- Frankenstein
- Three Musketeers
- Les Mis
- Coral Island (shipwrecked sailor story a la Robinson Crusoe, except three teenage/young adult guys. very piratecore and I need to reread it. Highly recommend, tho. It's by R M Ballentyne (idk how to spell his name lmao)
- Dracula
- Classic fairy tales
- Alice in Wonderland (and Through the Looking Glass)
- Some strange amalgamation/permutation of any of the above lmao
idk. I just,,,, wanna do a retelling and would like y'all's Thoughts and Opinions, because I know you have them
I know you can guess my answers but honestly a Les Mis retelling would also be super interesting-
Frankenstein but Victor finishes the monster's wife and they live happily ever after
You know I'm going to say Frankenstein, babe. But seriously, whatever strikes you as best works and I'm sure it'll be great!
I think,,,, a chimera of Les Mis, Frankenstein, and perhaps one other could be interesting if I do it right
Les Mis meets Frankenstein could have some horrifying implications after the barricade-
oh my god oh shit i didn't even think of that–
Henry was at the barricade and Victor decides "fuck it i can't live without him" and then bam they're all alive again but everything's gone wrong
Oh I meant Victor reanimates the ABC Club but holy shit yeah that too-
yeah he does. but he does it because he and Henry were part of it but maybe Victor was sick (like,,, badly sick) on Barricade Day and so he isn't able to actually go and then they all die (except Marius but like. fuck Marius) and Victor brings them back?? idk
That's devastating and I love it. I can't guarantee that I'll be helpful but I can 100% beta-read/edit for you if you want
I can't guarantee I'll finish it because I still need to make sure I actually have time to keep up with a project during NaNo (I think I will but it depends on schoolwork) but I'd love feedback on it!
Pog! I might try NaNo too, but yeah, it'll depend on my schoolwork
Yeah definitely. I might not do the full 50,000, might only do like, half that? Idk. What are you thinking of writing?
but damn the more I think about it the more I can see Enjolras and Victor maybe being friends?? damn i need to reread Les Mis, that's gonna be my next project I think. rereading Les Mis
Yeah definitely. I might not do the full 50,000, might only do like, half that? Idk. What are you thinking of writing?
Honestly I'm not entirely sure yet, but probably Beck's story if I end up writing anything at all
Ooh alright! I'd love to beta/edit for you in return, if you do it
I was gone for most of this but I just wanna say that I love all of this.
so i've been thinking and I think I might make it ✨Sci-Fi✨
YES. DO IT OR YOU'RE A COWARD.
so i've been thinking and I think I might make it ✨Sci-Fi✨
You can finally do a sci-fi Les Mis that doesn't annoy you like the one you read did!!
Oooooooooooooooooooooooh yes! fucking Cosette and any iteration of her. gimme Eponine
Replace Cosette with Elizabeth Lavenza lmao
