sevenswellsHoliday season means meme season, so here's one: imagine what your favourite show/book/comic/film would be like if it was written/directed/drawn in the style of your favourite authors? (okay my formulation might be a bit obscure, but read what's below the cut, you'll understand quickly enough)
Sherlock remixed by:
-Alan Moore (comics author; favourite books: The Watchmen, From Hell, Lost Girls, Jack B. Quick, Top Ten, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)
It would be more on the esoteric side, with a really twisted and complicated plot. The series would be about 30 episodes for one season (but each episode would still last 1 hour and 30 minutes). Sherlock and John would screw then destroy each other on screen. Or maybe Moore would be more of a Moriarty/Sherlock shipper. Yeah, he could make it happen.
-Yoshihiro Togashi (mangaka; favourite books: Yuyu Hakusho, Level E, HunterxHunter)
The deductions would be truly brilliant, perfectly logical and even more complex. Also, Sherlock and John would totally sleep together because everybody knows how much of a yaoi fangirl Togashi is.
-George R.R. Martin (writer; favourite books: A Song of Ice and Fire saga)
The real heroes would actually be Anderson and Molly, John would get horribly disfigured or maimed or both but that would make him even more of a BAMF, and everybody would have at least three motives to do anything, even when drinking tea. Everyone would try to screw everyone else twice over. Also, Mrs Hudson would turn out to be the evil-est genius of them all.
-Margaret Atwood (writer; favourite book: The Edible Woman)
The mystery plot or the deductions wouldn't be the main focus at all, but the psychological development would be very deep. The characters would lie to themselves and to each other. John and Sherlock's relationship might or might not work out in the end.
-Joss Whedon (writer, director, producer, composer; favourite creations: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Astonishing X-Men)
Even more brilliant jokes, Molly would grow stronger and empowered and pretty kickass and might even go out with Anthea. Mycroft would be scarier and even more devious. The only sad thing is that there wouldn't be as much slash, if any at all; Whedon is pretty rubbish with gay males. Also, he might kill John. Just because he can. Or he would make Sally awesome and lovable and awesome, and then he'd kill her.
Feel free to snatch as you like. ^^

Date: 2010-12-18 11:36 am (UTC)Balzac would make Anderson the main character, he would be a man wanting to make a name for himself, he would fall in love with married in an higher station Donovan, his nemesis would be strange genius Sherlock, John would be the good and respectable Docteur Bianchon, Lestrade would be a high administration officer. There would be murders and kidnappings, and bitching at the ball. And lots of lots of descriptions of the wondrous appartements and clothing.

Date: 2010-12-18 10:49 am (UTC)Joss would have John tell Sherlock he loves him and Sherlock would admit that he loves John and then as they'd go to kiss, Moriarty would shoot John in the head. Molly would hit him over the head with a heavy object, tie him up, and take over for Sherlock as he spirals into madness. He's saved through the power of his brother's love.
I don't know why I made Sherlock into Spike and Willow in that scenario. Joss really is bad at dealing with gay males. =( I know it has less to do with loving lesbians and more to do with the fact that he is a huge feminist. I was sad when he pulled a Rowling and said Spike and Angel had slept together at least once after the shows ended. He could've totally put that into one of the flashbacks to Angelus and the gang in the old days or something.
I still love him to bits, though. :3

Date: 2010-12-20 01:02 pm (UTC)OMG I LOVE your Joss remix to death, a lot more than mine, it's just perfect!! And yeah, he's a huge feminist (Moore is too) but I think he loves lesbians the way I love gay guys. Maybe even worse, I always feel his lesbians are a little too perfect and almost unreal, like, they never fight or have problems the way real couples do. Which is fine, but it's a little surprising to find a real male femmeslasher; most of the guys see lesbians as objects of desire, but with Joss it's more like he *supports* them, like a yaoi fangirl would her favourite pairing. Or something.
HAHAHA I didn't know the expression "to pull a Rowling" but it's GENIUS! I couldn't stop laughing when I read that, thank you!
Also, WHAT. I never knew he said that! Joss you little...
WHERE'S OUR GAY SEX SCENE BETWEEN SPIKE AND ANGEL?! è_____é

Date: 2010-12-20 06:07 pm (UTC)His conflict between Tara and Willow was good but he made it pretty obvious that they were going to end up back together at some point. Then he killed Tara. >_> I think that's how he addresses relationship issues being resolved. lol "Angelus is gone and Angel is back! ...Buffy sends him to hell. Willow and Tara worked everything out and now they're gonna be together forever! ...Warren's got a gun. Xander and Anya are kind of dealing with things now! ...Anya's dead. Spike and Buffy could work things out after the apocalypse is averted! ...Spike 'sploded. Wes and Fred finally got together! ...lol here's Illyria, guys." Basically, things are perfect now, so here's a dead character. Oh, Joss...
It's perfect, isn't it? To pull a Rowling is to out a character post-series for seemingly no reason. Joss did it another time, too, with Andrew (even though that character was in a closet with a glass door and everyone knew). To pull a SMeyer is to get famous off of a Mary Sue/Gary Stu character.
Here's a slashy hallucination that Buffy has in the season 8 comics but I still want some Spike/Angel lovin'. Btw, he made Buffy bi in the S8 comics. I can't find where Joss said that but I could swear he did. I know it's heavily implied that they slept together, just like Dru and Darla clearly did. JOSS, WHY CAN'T XANDER GET IN ON SOME MANSEX ACTION OR SOMETHING? WHY'S IT GOT TO BE ABOUT THE CHICKS? Now I'm wondering which Firefly character he would've ended up outing after the series was finished after four or five seasons instead of half of one. Probably Simon. I say this because Sean Maher is totally hot and apparently has a tongue ring that he takes out for interviews and roles. I know, I know: pics or or it didn't happen. Still. Stiiiill. Unf.
