X-Men rec, update journal announced

[selenak]

"Normal", by penknife, is a fabulous X-Men story about so many things - the question of just what you're willing to do to be able and live like the majority does, what "normal" means anyway, what kind of decision you make for your children, and not least of all Scott Summers, aka Cyclops. Count me into yet another tiny minority - the one who actually thinks Scott is more interesting than Logan, Hugh Jackman's hotness notwithstanding. (Of course, both of them are nothing when compared to Magneto as played by Ian McKellen and Xavier as played by Patrick Stewart.*g*) I really hope they're going to give him more scenes in X3, especially since X3 will obviously deal with the Dark Phoenix plotline, which has absolutely nothing to do with Wolverine.

The recent Sondheim reviews by melymbrosia made me madly jealous because I so want to be in New York now and see both Sweeney Todd and Assassins on stage. An irreverent aside: now some musicals have caused fanfiction - Phantom of the Opera and Les Miz, in particular. Where is the Sondheim fanfic? The Sweeney/Ms Lovett het and the John Wilkes Booth/Lee Harvey Oswald slash?

In other news, in an attempt to avoid turning this journal into a constant squeeing over theatrical_muse, I thankfully threw myself into the waiting arms of sabine101 who had just started an update journal for her t_m activities and offered to share. So, if anyone is curious what the newest developments are, check them out here.

I love Cyclops more than Wolverine Myself, but have little hope for X3 to be better as Brian Singer has been quoted as saying Wolverine is the star of the X-Men movies... But One can hope.

And that is a great story by penknife.

Brain implodes at the idea of Sondheimfic

Thats a cool summation-- it would be cool to find a sire where the whole of the story so far was summarrized... heh

One can always hope.

As for summaries, well, the update journals are there to provide just those. In addition to inbigtrouble, no shared by the G'Kar, Londo and Vir muns, you could look up ranger_i for Anna and Galen, and g_shadowslayer for Garibaldi and the Shadows.
