andrastewhite came up with a brilliant rationale for the only flaw Once More, With Feeling has. She reasoned that it was really Andrew who summoned Sweet, and that the Trio upon realising that this hadn't been the best idea used one of Jonathan's spells to make Xander think he had done it.
Next, this led us to contemplate the missing Trio scenes for Once More, With Feeling. We decided that the three would have the classic "Kirk or Picard" debate and wished some filk-gifted person could be found to do it justice. Contemplating this, I decided to take it as a challenge. I've never written filk before except for two verses for a little Blake's 7 ditty to Beethoven's Ode to Joy.. But I have been in dozens of Kirk vs Picard debates. (On the Jean-Luc side of the fence.)
Before embarking on this terrifying enterprise, however, I need some help. Obviously, I need songs to filk. Preferably something from Sondheim, to fit in with Once More, With Feeling.caille and other musical lovers, does anything come to mind? Or something for three voices from a not-Sondheim musical? Or any songs which spring to mind if one thinks of Kirk and Picard respectively, with a verse or two devoted to Sisko and Janeway thrown in? (I suppose I'll have to include some Andrew praise for Archer, which will be tough - I never saw more than three episodes of Enterprise.) After all, I want the result to sound more intelligent than
There is really just one choice:
The man with the voice.
In other news, I love the livejournal community.ide_cyan, whose Aeryn mood icons make me pale with envy (I'd love to have a paid account), felt moved to commit Farscape fanfic by my link to searose's ponderings on J/A and J/S respectively. And she came up with the only future fic featuring a John, Aeryn & baby scenario which I absolutely loved. Which undoubtedly has to do with the fact Scorpius and Harvey are there as well…
Also:
Two questions: Who is Ben Stein, and who is Bob Saget?

This is a GENIUS concept. Go you!
Have seen the Ferris movie, but...

Thanks for the encouragement!

Date: 2003-08-20 03:53 pm (UTC)Sounds cool though - it never did sit well with me that Xander had summoned Sweet. And, as a girl who saw a musical production of Star Wars, I have to say that filking is very very of the good. Um, I can't offer any help, but I can offer moral support. Go you! Yay! And so on.
