Thirty Days of Fanficton: Day Twelve

12 – Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?

I have indeed, with Runaways, which basically uses the premise of Brian K. Vaughan's series Runaways (well, of the first volume anyway) in the fandom Heroes, or, as I put it in the summary: Kidnapping and running away seems a reasonable reaction if one discovers one's parents are supervillains, in any universe. It's not a straight forward adaption, i.e. the plot doesn't match, but I took not only the premise but the structure of interspersing scenes with the parents. At this point (the story was written during the s1 and s2 hiatus), we didn't know much about the earlier generation other than Angela, so the scenes with them bickering were definitely inspired by the interaction the Pride has. In retrospect, it still works, though if I had written the story a bit later after we found out Angela had a fling with Kaito back in the day I'd have used that to colour their interacton. Ah well. The story is still one of my fondest memories of my active days in Heroes fandom.
