I might just keep that to myself. Or share it with Quentin. Then he and I can giggle at them behind their backs.
I still wonder why it's okay to a fan of Landa and Hellstrom, but the moment you mention you like Fredrick, people are all aghast and clutching their pearls. There's one person I see around the fandom who just hates Fredrick, and her reasoning was that everyone else was "openly a jackass", whereas Fredrick was trying to pass himself off as otherwise. Really? He has actual depth, which, no matter how much fanfic is written about Hellstrom and Sho being ~secret lovers or how brilliant Landa is, they lack depth. There was much more to Fredrick, which indeed, Dan brought to the role. His mannerisms, his gestures, the way he looks at Shosanna speak volumes more than Hellstrom's leering or Landa's hubris. It's no wonder at all that Quentin fell entirely in love with the dynamic and chemistry between Fredrick and Shosanna (it forever kills me that the casting of Shosanna depended on the chemistry with Dan). I think it's the conflict of Fredrick that makes people uncomfortable. He's not black and white, therefore he can't be neatly categorized for most. As my dad put it, he wasn't "Nazi enough" for the fandom to fully embrace him; if he were openly, gleefully bigoted and violent instead of being the damaged young man that he was, then there'd be no issue with him.
Thankfully, quite a bit of the internet agrees with us about the need for a Franco-German union.
I'll be coming up on the two year mark this winter. I can see why that time frame is suggested, as writing aside, so much of the story grows and changes as it's fleshed out. If I had immediately started writing everything after first getting the idea for Rain Dogs, it'd have become something entirely different. I've really learned the meaning patience with all of this.
Yes! Not even Bowie can manage that (though I'm sure he tries).
I'm prone to doing that, too! I've thrown my sleep schedule many times by deciding it's a great idea to stay up until dawn and write/photoshop/repent for putting things off.
How did that slip my mind?! I'm guessing I didn't want to think of the world exploding from them procreating. They should go ahead and do it anyway.
