How (Not) to be a Fantasy Heroine (Q&A)
Added 2022-09-26 13:45:12 +0000 UTCDear friends, I hope you have been enjoying the Fantasy Heroine series. Here, for your general enjoyment, is a longer video about it answering some of your questions (and also, at the end, the next instalment of the series)
Look out for a compilation video of all 12 episodes in the first series which I will probably put up for you here on Wednesday!

I love these because the tropes are so wildly signposted and Rosemund is so obviously not having any of it. I'm thinking "The Princess Bride" if Buttercup was incredibly well read and signposted every trope before they got to it. "I suppose we have to scale the heights of impossibility now? You know they're called that for a reason."

2022-09-30 19:08:33 +0000 UTCI imagine Henry Cavill, on a lark, walking across the screen in one of those Henley style poet shirts which never seem to have buttons. Leo (Henry): Ms Beatrice Beatrice: Captain Collins [Collins exits opposite side of screen] Author: Who was that! Beatrice: Captain Collins, of course. Author: I invented *him*? Damn I'm good. If Henry was up for it and had the appropriate shirt, you could even green-screen him instead of flying him anywhere (as long as you got the relative heights correct).

2022-09-30 17:17:55 +0000 UTCStaring "Ani" as "Leo" ? The performance would be a little wooden.

2022-09-27 08:10:31 +0000 UTCNo, I think you’re right, whoever’s playing Leo will get to keep their shirt on 😁

2022-09-27 05:50:48 +0000 UTCI had considered just having a very tall ‘head out of shot’ Leo. At the very least he will probably appear silently a couple of times, but I’m working on it.

2022-09-27 05:48:12 +0000 UTCI think Twilight was based on a dream Stephenie Meyer had about vampires, so we could stretch that to’fanfiction’. Which would make 50 shades ‘fanfiction of fanfiction’…

2022-09-27 05:45:58 +0000 UTCLet us hope not because I would still have to do it 😁

2022-09-27 02:54:40 +0000 UTChaha last question was on my mind, too--whether Leo might appear. If he's exceptionally tall, he could just appear from the shoulders down, allowing anyone/some furniture, appropriately draped, to represent him.

2022-09-26 22:25:39 +0000 UTCFan-fiction of fan-fiction... isn't that Twilight?
2022-09-26 21:41:12 +0000 UTCI've heard the best parodies come from those who love the source material.

2022-09-26 19:23:36 +0000 UTCFYI, Brandon Sanderson inherited the RAFO response from Robert Jordan. I don't know where Jordan got it from.

2022-09-26 19:02:20 +0000 UTCdoes the sewing ability mean everything will become covered in rhinestones

2022-09-26 18:19:22 +0000 UTCOh sweet! I don't really do shorts so I missed most of the installments that go on the "shorts" tab. A compilation would be most welcome
