>Might I add I'm ecstatic at the prospect of a John/Scorpius one in addition to the Scorpy/Braca? Which songs will you use? Now you only have to add a John/Rygel and a Scorpius/Sikozu, and my happiness is complete.
Well, I'd be happy to do a John/Rygel one, since I'm the only other John/Rygel shipper around! I'd even dedicate it to you! LOL However, the obvious song choice, 'Kiss that Frog' is already taken, and since we've just found out that 'Peacekeeper', which we've been vidding Aeryn to, has already been done, and since I'm also keen on doing a John/Harvey one to 'Slightly Mad' which *also* has already been used for a vid, albeit a Crais one, I'm getting a bit reluctant of using the obvious musical choices... I'm beginning to think we should find something more original sometime soon... On the other hand, we do have different concepts for all the above mentioned songs than the first vidders had. 'Peacekeeper' is a general PK vid in its first incarnation, whereas ours is Aeryn, 'Slightly Mad' is Crais, whereas ours - if we do it; at the moment it's just an idea that I'm fond of - would be John/Harvey; and 'Kiss That Frog' would be John/Rygel whereas KobaTV's original vid is a general Rygel vid.
But I think we should really do something original first before we do all these 'remakes'. ;) Which does not mean to say that we won't do the 'remakes'. Actually, I'd love to do them.
>Sirius: I just emailed you the very entertaining summaries from the "Tough Guide to HP Fanfiction". I agree, he's very interesting, BUT with Sirius I never doubt he's going to do the right thing in the end. (As opposed to John and Methos.)
Well, granted, I don't know volume four yet. However, with Sirius as he presents himself in part three of the Potter saga, I'm not that certain at all. Well, I guess it depends a bit on what you consider 'the right thing'. He was awfully eager to kill Peter Pettigrew, if you ask me. Sure, Peter's on the wrong side now, and Remus wasn't above wanting to kill him, either... but still... (And that 'joke' he played on Snape wasn't harmless, either, though I'll put that down to the stupidity of teenage boys.) And as for John and Methos, well, at least definitely for John, I have to disagree. John still has, despite all, a basic decency (like Sirius). Let's leave Methos out of this, 'cause Methos is so far removed from any normal moral categories that it's almost impossible to compare him with *anybody*, except maybe my favourite vampire, Alucard from Hellsing. But John and Sirius are actually very similar – basically decent guys who've suffered more than anyone could bear and who are slightly cracked due to their experience. They are 'good', but they are also damaged, and have human failings. I think they both could easily get carried away given the right, or rather, wrong, circumstances. With John we've seen it happen, with Sirius we haven't (so far), but I think it's very well possible.
