Okay, so I'm not familiar with the specific infamous fic this is based on, but as someone who'd been kicking around fandom since way into last century*, I simply adore not only idea of this, but also the execution**. Some darling folk in Toronto have created a web series based on
My Immortal by Tara Gilesbie.
I'm not recommending you read the fic, as I've totally skipped that part and it is not harshing my squee from this project at all***. And there is so much squee, I feel like I'm going to sneeze sparkles and fart rainbows of joy:
I adore the cast, and the writing is both tight and remarkably fond of both the source material and the fanon context. Simply superb. And now I shall go be an adult and make dinner, and watch episode five once the child is in bed. BEING AN ADULT IS SO FUCKING PREP!
*in the late 80's I got halfway through a parody of Wesley Crusher as the ultimate Mary Sue, working title "FrankenWesley", but ran out of steam when my OOC Picard started to make me sad.
**This is the future I've been waiting for ever since the tools for film narrative became exponentially cheaper and more accessible. Seriously, these kids are doing amazing stuff on a shoestring, and you can tell they're thinking about the pacing, the comic timing, the shot composition, the costuming, the lighting, the makeup, the music...
***I burned out my ability to read truly terrible fic years ago during an epic WIP involving Dana Scully, forced pregnancy, and bestiality. I kept reading, hoping she'd be rescued. Yeah, rookie mistake.
