Fic: "FrankenRory"
Oct. 17th, 2010 08:35 pmThis story was written for Challenge 05 at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
she_is_to_me. It's an AU challenge, and the picture prompt that was my inspiration is included with the story.
As you might have guessed from the title, this is a sort of pastiche of the Frankenstein mythos. I first saw the original movie version of Frankenstein (with Boris Karloff) when I was 15. I watched it in a class called "Science Fiction and Composition". (I should definitely write about that class sometime, but not now.) I didn't read the novel until I took a class on Gothic literature in university. This story is sort of a mish-mash of popular Frankenstein legend, which I use as a jumping-off point.
This is a story that can't decide if it wants to be funny or dramatic, so it's both. At least, I hope so: it could be neither! Do let me know if that's the case. (Concrit, as always always always, more than welcome.)
Story header, rating, etc. behind the cut.
( Appropriately enough, it was a dark and stormy night. )
