What's YOUR life's artistic format?

[xiphias]

So, one of my friends was commenting to the effect that zie's life would make a good musical. And I commented that that's good -- I've got friends whose lives are actually opera. . .

How about you? The plot of your life is what?

I'm thinking mine is probably a prog-rock concept album.

I have a horrible feeling mine is formatted like Homestuck.

A series of short stories, perhaps, or episodes of an anthology series? My household, collectively, is absolutely a sitcom.

And a 50s sitcom at that.

My life is a TV sitcom. It gets cancelled in mid-season, and is replaced by a new Joss Whedon show starring David Hasselhoff.

For a while mine was an Italian opera or a depressing Russian novel. These days it's more like a sitcom along the lines of the Big Bang Theory.

I think that's a definite trade up!!!

definitely a Broadway musical (Dad played by Neil Patrick Harris and me played by Kristin Chenoweth with her hair dyed black) - we are now at the tragic climax where everything is hard, difficult, problematic, confusing, and seemingly unmanageable - but the plucky hero and heroine soldier on to a romantic and successful ending - much singing and dancing to come

Mine would start out as an after school special about a bullied child. Then it would become reality TV along the "It Gets Better" theme.

Spoken word performance. No doubt in my mind.

I'm not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure it involves muppets.

No question about it: My life is one of those concept-y fanfics which is written entirely in e-mails, LJ entries, Facebook statuses and PostSecrets.

The original fandom is a not-very-good fantasy novel written by someone who really wanted to be writing for Terri Windling's Bordertown series. Specifically, they wanted to be writing the stories that Charles deLint wrote for the Bordertown series, about the folk-rock-ritual-Morris-dance band who are also bikers.

The fanfic itself is also crap, to be honest. However, several prominent yuletide authors admire it against their better judgment. Eventually, it made it onto the Yuletide list, producing a couple of short slice-of-life songfics which were recced all over the place and received many AO3 kudos.

Sadly, this then inspired someone to make a coffeehouse-AU vid set to Beck's Nitemare Hippy Girl. The vid drew considerable ire from the fans of the original fanfic, several people got all passive-aggressive about it, and it periodically gets dragged up in "Yuletide = Cult Of Nice, y/y? And What Can We Do About It?" threads on fail_fandomanon.

I was just thinking at supper that my life is full of reversals of stereotype.

The younger child, when younger still, had a set of mismatched characters from Winnie the Pooh; Pooh was small (repurposed tree ornament), Piglet was huge and very brave (handmade from a favored aunt) and Eeyore was cheerful. Against the child's relentless good cheer he didn't stand a chance.

On the other hand, the older daughter is teaching her boyfriend and his younger brother to burp on demand.

But Muppets would be good. An army of Muppets. And a spatula.

Farce.

Some days happy, some days sad, but always full of entrances and exits with suspiciously acute timing, and an underlying thread of absurd coincidence...

[embryomystic.livejournal.com]

A frustrating time-travel story.

[rosefox]

A humorous memoir.

[temima.livejournal.com]

Not quite sure, but the narrator is definitely unreliable.

My life is a Wes Anderson film. 100%.
