In a book in which names tell us who a character is, Beauty is named Beauty and when she meets her Beast he instructs her to call him Beast. 

Cut because I discuss the book in great detail - so for both length and spoilers )

I typed Shakespeare into LJ's search field.  I really did not expect this to elicit strange results - but it did.  Try it - it is fascinating.  Please report back.

Fanfic, for me, is all about getting the characters right.  I’ll state the obvious - that this is completely subjective - just to be safe.  If I’m reading something and I can’t picture the character on screen doing what it is I’m reading about, I usually can’t keep on.  In fact, this is why – with only a single exception so far – I don’t even attempt to write fic; it is much too difficult.
In which I start to talk about fic and end up talking about Sherlock )

Recently we saw this adaptation of The Tempest.  It was interesting, and we were really sorry that we gave up our first row seats – due to a mix-up with another audience member and his wheelchair - because we really would have liked to have gotten a closer look at the puppetry since that was what made the show, really.

I've begun with Rose Daughter because I wanted to go in reverse order this time, and Beauty is not only first in sequence, but McKinley's first written novel.

A couple of links I've been checking out to add to the experience:

McKinley's site where she talks about Rose Daughter as well as Beauty and how events in her life shaped the books.
A review looking at both books and the differences between them at tor.com

Here's the first volume I'm seeing which is told from the Beast's POV, I'm sure there are more, I'm just taking this slowly - Beast by Donna Jo Napoli - going into my Amazon cart...
