OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN I PROPOSE MARRIAGE TO THIS STORY????? I AM IN LOVE WITH IT, AND IT HAS BROUGHT ME TOTAL JOY ON A CRAPPY MONDAY MORNING!!!!!! If not, marriage, then can I just run away with it to France . . . or some even less civilized place like Canada??
Thank you very much, blooms84! I had a crappy Monday morning too, so your extremely kind words brought me total joy in return! :-D
Of course you can propose marriage to this story, or run away with it to France or some less civilized place like Canada. You certainly have my blessings for either endeavour. *g*
First--you HAVE to crosspost this a few places so more people will see it.
To be honest, I don’t know where I would crosspost this. It's not Sherlock. I’m not even sure if it qualifies as fic. If I did crosspost, I think I would combine both parody parts and place them in a new entry to avoid confusion. If you have any suggestions for where I should crosspost, I'd be happy to hear them. :-)
Second--I love that Alec has slept with *almost* everyone --Rupert as sexual superman, is canon.
LOL! I was afraid that you might take exception to Alec being a slut or, rather, "sexual superman". However, I've seen that deleted scene with Alec, the maids, and the grapes, so I think it must have been canon that Alec slept with at least some of the household. I can just picture him with his ladder making various nocturnal visits -- before he got together with Maurice, of course. *g*
There are so many little things I love here, I can't name them all!! I love the hairbrushing (as in every period film!), love God-forsaken New World nations, love Alec taking his cap off, love that he says he's not little, doesn't live in London, but is okay with being the "girl" in the scenario, despite the fact that his testosterone level is clearly triple Maurice's, love that he's given up his "career," love how INEPT Maurice is at everything, including blackmail, love "tart" and "whoopies" (I cannot actually stop laughing--did a spit-take with coffee at that one), love Women's Social and Political Union (have a poster of "Votes for Women" on my office wall with someone who looks quite a bit like Anne) . . . love Anne's efficiency and brilliance in wrapping up the whole boat, wood, and new boathouse situation with a few words and sketches. . . . okay must stop. AM SO HAPPY!
I think you covered pretty much everything, which is incredibly nice of you! :-D Yes, I think I got the idea of the hairbrushing because it seems to be something that's in every period film. The God-forsaken New World was my opportunity for a little bit of self-deprecating humour. I'm glad you picked up on Alec being the "girl" in the scenario, despite his massive testosterone level. He totally struck me as the "girl" in the film when he was complaining to Maurice about him not writing back or how they would never be able to meet up in the boathouse. Hell, in the boathouse scene itself, Maurice practically lifts Alec up off the ground as he kisses him. I hadn't originally planned for Maurice's blackmail scheme to fail, but I needed some reason for Alec to visit Anne. I stole "whoopsies" from Black Adder and came up with the idea for Anne's threat to join the Women's Social and Political Union after coming across a reference to Emmeline Pankhurst recently in another book. As for Anne's efficiency and brilliance, she just seems like the kind of woman who would take charge and get everything sorted out properly. She's obviously a bit of a romantic (given her speculation about Maurice's love life in the film), so I liked the idea of her acting as Maurice and Alec's fairy godmother.
*inappropriate glomps* especially for a Monday . . .
Hey, I'm all for inappropriate glomps, even when it's Monday. *g* I'm very happy that this strange little sketch helped cheer you up. Thank you for your incredibly generous feedback, blooms84! My mood improved vastly as soon as I read your comment! :-D
