Not April Fools
Apr. 1st, 2004 03:19 amSo I printed out a copy of "Unexpected Diversions" to give to my mom, along with Peta's illos, which she then handed over to a friend of her's who is a professional editor.
Apparently he liked it. (wOOt!)
He said the dialog was great. (w00t!)
He said I should consider adapting it as a play. (HUH?!)
I've e-mailed the guy to try and open and a dialog and find out WTF was he talking about. I mean, aside from the fact that play is pure fantasy, with an elf and a Beast-Kin, not the sort of dreadful Social Problems stuff or Andrew Lloyd Webber extravanganzas that appear on stage these days, it's got several scenes that are problematical at best. I mean in one Tez spends a great deal of time buck naked, and in the other he's being horsewhipped within an inch of his life. Can't see that happening on stage each night (twice with matinees)...
