(no subject)

Walking to rehearsal on Saturday I was trying to brainstorm stuff I would want to write if I have the chance this summer by thinking of tropes I like, topics I'm enthusiastic about. Like, if I were going to put all the things I'm fascinated by and that I enjoy writing and thinking about into a blender, what would they be? So my free-associating list was something like:

-Ghosts
-Roses
-Stage magic/sleight of hand
-Characters dealing with major physical scars
-Characters dealing with sensory differences -- deafness, blindness
-The ocean
-Characters with an iron-hard sense of right, wrong, and duty
-Wings
-Women who like women
-Multilingualism
-Characters keeping a lid on intense anger
-Threesomes?
-Classical pantheons (Ancient Greek, Hindu, Norse)
-Scared-but-ambitious young woman + charismatic-and-dangerous older man

. . . So Hannibal. Given the opportunity I would like to write Hannibal, but with more lesbians and a little extra iconography.
