Holding/Planning Post for the former-teenage-popstar au

Apr 03, 2011 23:21

This is just full of everything I've written in the ridic-au. It's unbeated, it's not pretty, but since it keeps getting lost in all my file shuffling, I'm posting it here so I'll always be able to find it. Again, not meant to be read, just be put up for the sake of my paranoia over things getting lost.

( I was a teenage popstar in Canada )

As soon as I am done writing this gosh darn poetic comparison/contrast essay you can be SURE I will sit down and read this. Just. GIVE ME A DAY. Or. Like. (squints) Four hours if I can just find some references on the St Crispin's Day Speech that do not extend from fanfic!

Oh, bb, what's posted above really doesn't make it sense. It's in no coherent pattern and all from something I started on my lj back in late Dec./early Jan. I mean, of course read it if you like, but I just don't want you to get all "WTF, mate?"

And hmm, St. Crispin's Day Speech is used in a Danny DeVito film called Reneissance Man for two pretty important scenes. Obvs. it's quoted both in the Band of Brothers mini-series and book, and well, pretty much any war memoir you can get your hands on. It's in the intro to William Manchester's Goodbye Darkness memoir. I can't think of any other pieces of work off the top of my head, but I know it's all over the place.

Believe me when I say that even if none of it made complete sense out of context I was sort of happy to read about it ....Even if I did keep crossing Lipton over with Donnie mentally which, I have to say, made his twitter fifty times more amusing to view.

As another note, I've got songs from those Eddie Jones mixes on repeat. I may have taught my choir all the words to You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive through osmosis.

Haha, and thank you for the help! I was disallowed from using films and couldn't find Manchester's memoir but I got the silly thing written.

ALSO because of you, I've gone and bought myself The Pacific. My brother and I are going to marathon it tomorrow :D

To be fair, the fic got started over discussing a modern day fusion with Donnie's real life and Lip, and Speirs/Matthew Settle's character from Gossip Girl. A discussion that got started due to Donnie's twitter, so, you actually went to the perfect place there.

I'm glad you're enjoying the mixes and got your work finished.

I hope you enjoy The Pacific. It has a much different narrative style than BoB, it's brutal, vulgar, but I think once you give it at least two complete marathon run-throughs, you really, really start to love it. Which reminds me, I really need to finish my In Defense of The Pacific meta post.
