Cross Over Fic, Merthur vs. Femslash
Jan. 25th, 2016 10:47 amA question for all you lovely people.
I wanted to write a cross over with The Blue Castle because I can't trick anyone into doing it for me.
It's an LM Montgomery romance, set in Manitoba, Canada in the'20's. The main character is a 29 year old old maid who has never fit into her staid family. Then she finds out she's going to die and decides to live without fear.
Anyhoo, to make it work for guys you would have to move it forward in time and make the shame related to being sensitive and artistic and underemployed. And it's hard to figure out how to write the romantic lead.
I think the whole thing might work better as Femslash, actually because the romantic interest has a secret identity as a writer and so would be perfect as someone who is living as a man, while writing as a woman.
I mean it's perfect! Except I can't think of anyone from Merlin who could pass as a man? Any ideas? I'd kind of like for it to be Morgana, but she's so curvy. Mithian and Freya seem like they're really short? For it to work, this gal would have to pass. Although s/he would be living in the woods as a recluse... So maybe not. Thoughts?
Maybe I'm just crazy.
