psalm_onethirtyoneSo, I am considering writing Nemo fic. Yes. About Polish!Nemo.
Because I don't have enough responsibilities this month before NaNoWriMo, and because I didn't take the week off. Yes. Indeed.
But, see, it works! Because Nemo was originally Polish, and that's why he's described as being pale-skinned and emphatically-not-Indian-looking in Twenty-Thousand Leagues! So it makes sense!Sort of.
I am also making a fannish ramble in my head about LoEG and LXG. The four characters to be carried over--Captain Nemo; Allan Quatermain; Mina Murray/Harker; and Jekyll/Hyde--all have children, in a way. Nemo has two children who were killed; Quatermain had a son whom he lost, though I know no details on that, since said son was alive in King Solomon's Mines; Mina Murray would have lost Quincey, whereas Mina Harker would have outlived him (although, without details, one may do whatever one likes); and I have always read Jekyll and Hyde like a father-son relationship, because I am just that crazy. See Whisper Words for details. If one considers all these things to be true, then coincidence much?
I want to read into it too much and write about it, although I fear greatly that it would be gratuitous, considering that I've touched it in both Another Adventure and Granite and Rainbow. Why yes, I am pimping myself shamelessly. :)
Nevertheless. I find it rather interesting. Snnnh.
Still want to write that Nemo fic...

Date: 2004-10-09 06:37 pm (UTC)...uhm. Except for the part where I can only get it for $80 on Amazon. O_o Maybe the library downtown has it.
Or maybe my school library has it. *checks* No, but they do have the *real* Five Weeks in a Balloon, as opposed to the fake one I got from Amazon. :p
*checks website of library downtown* Oo, they have lots of Jules Verne. But, unfortunately, not the one you want me to read. >_< I don't even have it downloaded from Project Gutenberg. :p
Damn you, Soujin. I will not be able to rest until I have found this book.
