New song on the old Duke fanmix!

I promised I would edit the post with anything else I found that fit, and now I have done exactly that. http://insaneladybug.livejournal.com/273808.html It's the new #6, with "Human" still claiming the last spot at #7. And for any interested parties who haven't seen this post in the first place, well, the whole thing will be a new experience for you. ;)

Gah, now I want to use my new Duke image song to write a short fic. And I really should be working on my Broken Ties theme set. I did write a whole other scene for theme #19 before I uploaded it earlier, but I must keep going! I still haven't written #24 yet, or #27, #28, or #31. Once they're done, I need to write #1, #3, and #4 for Amnesty Day. I already wrote #2; I couldn't resist because of the subject matter for it.

I forced myself to write the Hamilton and Mignon theme set in order, but I couldn't seem to make myself do that with my current theme set. Maybe because of how important chronology is to this set and there's no chronology in the theme order. Before I print them, I think I'll arrange them in chronological order.

I know I wanted to write an entry for another purpose, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. I probably will as soon as this is posted.

EDIT: ... Of course. I remember now. I determined what Florence will probably do when she enacts her plan in the mystery after The Denying Detective. The Forbidden Box hasn't been able to be destroyed, as she was sure it couldn't be, and she manages to steal it back. (Or has someone do it for her.) Then she sets up a world where she rules as dark queen. She has much higher ambitions than Vivalene.

I keep thinking the song Village Lanterne by Blackmore's Night has something to do with the story. I usually associate it with Hamilton. And of course, Hamilton and Paul were the stars of The Broken Ties, which ties in with this plot. But I also figure Hamilton was kicked around enough by Vivalene and Florence would probably mostly ignore him, since she has no grudge against him. I kind of wonder if Perry should feel that it is his responsibility to stop the madness and he sets out on a quest to do so. Of course, everyone joins him. A Fellowship, yay! And I wonder whether there should be something in the climax where it looks like Perry sacrifices himself to stop Florence. If so, I don't think they would have a body; there would be a big magic explosion and after some horrified mourning, Perry would stumble out.

Also, I'm torn between what Florence's world would look like. I usually picture a sort-of pseudo apocalyptic fantasy world in plotlines where a dark ruler takes over the world. And that makes for much more interesting scenery. Much forestry and mysterious things! And yet I don't think that would be Florence's world. I think she would want things to stay technologically advanced and urban. Maybe a forest could play some role in it, though.

It probably will be posted to FF.net, especially if Perry has a prominent role. Of course, even if he does, Hamilton will be right there with him and probably Della and most likely Paul as the major main characters.

Ooo, a Fellowship! But there should really be nine members if you want to do things right; let's see, Perry, Della, Paul, Hamilton, Andy, Tragg, Steve... uh... Brice... and Leon? No, not Leon. David Gideon would be better - after all, somebody has to die along the way and IMHO he's an excellent candidate for that job.

LOL. I wouldn't want to bring him in at long last just to kill him off. But you have reminded me of two plunnies:

We need Sergeant Brice hurt/comfort! He was there through everything, assisting every one of the main Lieutenants. He should have recognition.

I watched The Renegade Refugee recently and saw David ranting about something Hamilton did. (Perry stood up for Hamilton, by the way. Eee, that was awesome.) I had a thought of doing a fic where David is back after graduating from law school, still is a bit naive about prosecutors and Hamilton, and Hamilton gets on his nerves again. And maybe this time Paul stands up for him and tells David about how long it took him to finally understand what Perry had tried to tell him about Hamilton through the years.

You're quite correct about Sgt. Brice. He deserves a little love and attention after being there through it all. I'll have to try and remember that in future fics.

Argh, my copy of 'Refugee' cut out the scene with Perry defending Hamilton. Stupid syndication edits. You should totally write that fic, though. I'm not fond of David, but bringing him back so that Paul can show him the error of his ways re: Hamilton would be just fine with me!

Indeed. I've been meaning to write a h/c fic with him. I should think more seriously about that.

Syndication edits are evil.

I should! It would be squeeful to see Paul defend Hamilton.

David doesn't bother me, really, but I do think he would have worn out his welcome if he had become a main cast member. Things would have gotten waaay too crowded. I'm glad that between him and Andy, Andy was the one they kept.
