[1/3] hello! I had to wait a couple of hours for the docs for work to be ready, and I thought some reading might be good. then I thought about your discussion and thinking about berlermo and looked for your stories -- and that’s how I came across THE SWAN’S SYMPHONY. the idea is art. you know, a chapter is like an episode. it's like we have another two parts of lcdp. and as starting it, the last thing I expected to see were russian names. well, you chose mine. mine old one actually. what was even more sudden that I really used to be around people named anna, galina, and igor. how possible is that? and those short forms of them -- you do perfectly with it! trust me, I’m native. not every writer would try it. it says about research. and speaking about it, I thought you would like to hear about one thing.
[2/3] among others, we have two channels that are meant to be state and are the first and the second buttons on a remote. they are quite hilarious actually, as each of them constantly tries to copy the other. and, of course, they have a lot in common. and one of these things are trademark series. that ArE noT sEriEs1!! they go with “multi-chapter movies”. anyway, most of them are soppy with a classic trope a-good-girl-is-in-love-with-a-neutral-boy-who-is-married-a-bitch-and-divorces-her-eventually. or he-is-single-and-she-is-friendzoned-until-. and, yeah, most of them take place in a hospital. and the hospitals -- how can one who has never visited a place [oh lord I hope you haven’t] describe so accurately? I know it is fair for many hospitals all over the world, but that dark long corridors with the soviets old walls -- it hits different, when you have had to experience that. thrilled and terrified, I just hope they will not end andrés because I know, all right?
[3/3] the image itself along with what katya and igor have, his ambitions and her feelings, their lines reminded me of something so painfully familiar. it is really could be filmed and showed on tv. don’t get me wrong, por favor. I think it’s about talent to represent a genre -- especially when you have never had a chance to know more about it. you didn’t mean yet succeeded. I bet you have never expected a praise like that connected with some russian piece of media, and well, we can talk about pretty much of the culture, I believe. I simply felt you needed to know as well as I feel right now it is one of those things people usually put in comments, not on tumblr anyway, if your story found me, than let it be so. let these words flow through me to find you. god bless your writing. and if it happens you need any kind of inside on the country, I will be there for you, be sure of that. thank you!
Hey! First, thank you for giving my stories a chance! I'm very glad The Swan's Symphony is to your taste. Your praise truly means so much! And I'm definitely very happy it feels like the original show to you!
This is a surprise to both of us! It's a very beautiful name. I'm so happy such a coincidence happened, especially that the other characters' names are also familiar to you. That really means a lot! Thank you so much for saying so. The last thing I'd want is to inaccurately represent anything (the story has enough inaccuracies and creative leasures as it is haha).
And you thought correctly! I definitely wanted to hear this! Thank you so much for letting me know. My familiarity with Russian media is limited, I've only watched some old movies. When I started writing Katya and Igor's relationship, I had no idea it was mirroring typical Russian series, especially the hospital thing! It's really a big surprise, a very pleasant one. Your praise of the hospital means so much to me too! This is actually the vibe I was going for. Especially with how one untypical of a hospital it is (and I pray nothing like it exists in reality!). I didn't want to over-describe the place, but as the setting of everything that happens with them (and Andrés), it has a lot of significance to the story, and I really wanted this cold, dark atmosphere to be evoked from it. So your words truly mean the world!
The convoluted story of Katya and Igor is one that I really like and has such a big place in my heart. I have a lot of plans for them and I really hope you enjoy what emerges from their story, even the rest of it isn't very accurate to the trope (as I don't know how it usually goes!). Please! Thank you so much. Truly, saying this about my story brought the biggest smile to my face. And true, I didn't expect such a specific praise and its backstory, but I couldn’t be happier to receive it.
Don't at all worry about this! Whether on AO3 or Tumblr, or anywhere else, I'm just very glad your thoughts reached me and that you took time out of your day to send me such a lovely message and tell me about something I never had any idea about. I really appreciate it! And thank you so much for the lovely offer on top of all of that. I hope the story continues to please you, especially what's in hold for Andrés, Katya, Igor, and the rest of this storyline's characters. I hope no choices of mine disappoint you! Thank you again.

Finally! I finished The Torchwood Tales audio boxset, this beast has 16 discs of glorious Torchwood content. Now, I got mine via Big Finish, however, it was on clearance since then it has gone out of print. Yet, you might find it on places like eBay. Plus, I think the BBC also released each story individually. WARNING: Spoilers!
Series1/2 - I’m not 100% sure which season these stories takes places in 
Hidden - Someone finding immortally, created a small cult, the immortal can’t reproduce, causing him to create a clone of himself. Jack kills immortal, plus other stuff happens. It's one where you find out more as you go along. The team has some great moments between them.
Everyone Says Hello - This one, to me, is much more basic compared to some of the other. As it's only about an alien program going out of control, eventually thinking the Earth is hostile. Jack and Co. need to get it under control.
In the Shadows - I think this is the most well-known audio out of the set, given the Janto content. Ianto literally saves Jack from hell! Speaking of hell, it's Jack's personal hell. Leading interesting references. I dare anyone willing do it, draw Suzie in her hell outfit.
Post- Series 2
The Sin Eaters - Janto misadventures, I wish we could have gotten that in the show. Some sort of insect that cleansers you of all "sins comes to Earth. Also, Jack makes quite a few references to past adventure (not the show kind).
Department X - Gwen and Ianto go undercover at a department that is out to kill Jack, plus it has a disappearing and reappearing department. A nice little bit of Janto on the side.
Ghost Train - A Rhys Williams story (yes, this is the one with the Bi Rhys). Timetravel nonsense, rift nonsense and just general Torchwood nonsense that somehow makes sense at the end.
Post - Miracle Day - all of which are somehow better than the Miracle Day season its self.
Army of One - This is fullied with the old Torchwood nonsense, the return of a past alien that Torchwood had dealt with, a room full of different Rhyses (there mention of a Gwen room). Plus Americans being clueless when it comes to aliens.
Fallout - An Andy story! Again finishing off a Torchwood case. Plus a reason why Jack Harkness should never be left without Adult supervision.
Red Skies - Jack only, non-Earth story. That ends up having a lot of connections to Torchwood. Plus a surprising amount of references (not just mentions) to events and people in Jack's life; The house of the Dead, Suzie's third death, Gwen's death (that get elaborated more in the following audio), even Gray gets more than a mention!
Mr Invincible - Each audio seem to be apart of an overarching plot (more like there is continuity between these 4 audios), and this the conclusion to it. The main reason for what happens in this story is very much like the one in 'The Unicorn and the Wasp'.

TVD as Misfits: Kai as Nathan (obnoxious, funny, and never stop talking), Bonnie as Kelly (thought about it and realize though it would be great for her to be the pretty one her personality doesn't quite match up with Alisha, and both her and Kelly are quick to defend the defenseless. Also the Bonkai dynamic fits Nathan and Kelly especially when you think about that well after Kelly said "just friends" she's still the only one he cares about), Matt as Simon (that's as shy as TVD gets)...TBC
Continuation: Rebekah as Alisha (things sadly get white washed, but TVD is a white show that didn’t explore it’s COC better, so I could only equate her personality. I chose her over Caroline because she’s less apologetic which fit Alisha more in my mind), Marcel as Curtis (they actually went through kind of similar journeys of being knocked off their thrones over an injustice.) what I learned thinking about this is that TVD could never be as dynamic as Misfits, TVD focuses on the wrong things.
Ooh this is interesting…
I thought about it and I came up with quite a few differences with your own, although that could also depend on how we see the characters. 
Nathan: I actually see a parallel with Damon in his character. The motor-mouth that constantly creates problems for the group (remember Video Game Guy?). He’s fun but it’s a kind of reckless veering on malicious humour (Barry the melon-fucker, his teasing of MilkMan, not giving a damn that he ‘killed’ Miracle Girl, called his mom’s boyfriend a pedophile to break them up, etc). His ‘I can sleep with any girl if I get her drunk enough’ is definitely a milder version of Damon ‘compel-them-to-sex’ Salvatore. His mommy issues, daddy issues, etc. Even his soft-spot for Kelly and his brother have parallels with Damon’s feelings for Elena and Stefan. 
Simon: I think Bonnie is the Simon of the group in the sense that both characters have no moral compass when it comes to protecting their group. They don’t hesitate to harm other people (Sally), and they don’t hesitate to harm themselves to protect their friends. They’re also very much the Big Damn Heroes of the group. Romantically, Simon fares far better than Bonnie but they still share the common trait of going to suicidal extremes for their loved ones.
Kelly: I actually see more of Rebekah in Kelly, than in Alisha. Both girls can and do kick ass, take no nonsense from men, and you know Rebekah would curse more if the show’s ratings let her. But despite their hard-shelled exterior, they are sweethearts inside - extremely sensitive, starry-eyed over true love (“I think dat’s dead romahtic!”), and guys keep treating them like crap they both need to kiss a lot of frogs before finding their respective prince.
Curtis: Season 1 & 2 Stefan was Series 1 & 2 Curtis - that guy who protected everyone, looked after everyone, was quietly snarky to the ‘Damon’ of the group, had a deep romantic relationship with a woman he treated as an equal (Alisha, then Nikki); very respectful of women, and people in general (remember his ‘wow, light homophobia’ to Alisha in his pilot), and had ex-lovers turning up like wood-work because every girl wanted his D. ;) But somewhere along the line, TVD lost track of Stefan and turned him into Damon’s whipping boy & Misfits also lost track of Curtis and turned him into a background character. So I guess they also have that in common as well!
Alisha: Now, I’d choose pre-Damon, early (very early) season 1 Caroline for Alisha. That Caroline was not apologetic to anyone. She had a lot of sexual confidence and a healthy sexual appetite. She had a borderline cruel streak and might seem like an air-head, but she was actually very smart, and had deeply-buried insecurities. 
Rudy: Funny enough, I think Rudy is Kai simply because of his dual-personality thing. Because Rudy One is such an amoral character, almost childishly so. He didn’t have that malicious streak that Nathan had - he was just obnoxious and that’s how Kai came across when he was being ‘villainy’. Then at the same time, there’s Rudytoo who’s this ball of sensitivity and that sort of matches (though not completely) post-merge Kai who had all these feelings. And from spoilers I’ve seen, Rudythree was a cray-cray so that could be post-merge, post-1903 Kai. lol.
The parallels aren’t perfect fits, obviously. Caroline only fits as Alisha for a fraction of her ‘life-span’ in the entire series. I don’t see the creepy, stalkery/rapey aspects of series1-Simon in Bonnie obvs, and Nathan is a far better person than Damon. Rudy and Kai have a lot of superficial resemblances (dual personality - one sensitive/one not to go with pre & post-merge Kai), etc.

Hi! I'm really interested in reading comics/graphic novels about or featuring the Batkids, and you seem like you know about that kind of thing (or at least more than I do, although it's a low bar), so do you think you could give me some suggestions to get started with? Also, I've seen some DC stuff at the library with "Death of the Family" on it but some is Batman and some is Batgirl and I think I saw a Teen Titans one and are they all connected or something? I'm confused. Thanks!
Yes! I do know quite a bit about comicsin the BatFam area, I just unfortunately can’t recommend anythingthat came out in the last 2 years as I’ve not read it. But 1989-2015I can give LOTS of recommendations.
For the most part any title can be astandalone, but titles do unfortunately get wrapped up in companywide events at times. But if you read the GN rather than theindividual comics they try and keep events to their own combo storybooks and character titles to their own.
This is such a huge list that I’mputting it under the cut so you click to read it instead of everyonegetting spammed with a HUGE list of things…
Here is what I’d recommend:
-Jason Todd as Robin II (Later known asRed Hood): It seems as though the majority of Jason writers presentday neglected to actually read his original issues, because they basetheir knowledge and opinion of him on what readers in the 80’sTHOUGHT of him, and unfortunately at the time many people hatedJason. Much of the hate was for a Robin in general as at the timeplenty of people thought Bruce should be on his own. No Batgirl (seethe Killing Joke) and no Robin. So the hate was for the role ingeneral. And then you had Robin fans that hated him just because theydidn’t want anyone trying to replace Dick’s role even though Dick hadmoved on to Nightwing. Jason as Robin issues are Batman #408-428, andNew Teen Titans Vol2 #19-21, 24, 28-31. I’m sure there were issues ofDetective Comics, but I have no idea which. In recent years much ofthese issues are in GNs but some of the issues are not, so you mayhave to look those up individually to read online or buy them instores with older issues. These GN are- Batman: Second Chances(Batman Issues #402-403, 408-416, and Annual #11), Batman Ten NightsOf The Beast (Batman Issues #417-420), DC Comics Classics Library:Batman- A Death In The Family, Hard Cover (Batman Issues #426-429,440-442, New Teen Titans Vol2 #60-61). this edition of “A Death InThe Family” contains both the death of Jason and the introductionof Tim, which was a story focused around Jason. So it’s a 2-for-1deal. There’s also a GN called Batman: The Cult and Jason’s the Robinwith Bruce in that story as well though I’m not sure where to placethat in the chronology.
-Tim as Robin III (Later known as RedRobin): Tim had an excellent run as Robin. He had 3 mini-seriesbefore he had an entire run of his own that spanned 183 main issues,not counting team ups or annuals. All while also appearing in theother Batman, Nightwing, and Batgirl titles. Plenty of issues werecompany wide tie-in issues but the rest were all put into their ownGNs. Robin: A Hero Reborn (Batman #455-457, Robin Mini-series1 #1-5),Robin: Tragedy & Triumph (Detective Comics #618-621, RobinMini-series2 #1-4), Robin Mini-series3: Cry Of the Huntress #1-6 isnot in a GN that I know of, then the rest of his main run in FlyingSolo, Unmasked!, Fresh Blood, To Kill a Bird, Days of Fire andMadness, The Virtual Cell, Wanted, Teenage Wasteland, The BigLeagues, Violent Tendencies, and Search for a Hero.
Likewise…
-Dick as Nightwing in his solo title(Vol2): 153 issues not counting team ups or annuals. Like with Robinmany of these issues are tied in with company wide events, and therest are in their own GNs. I recommend the 2014-present editions asthey have a bit more in them, better paper/graphics, and are wayeasier to find, but they haven’t remade all of them yet. Nightwing:Blüdhaven, Nightwing: Rough Justice, Nightwing: False Starts,Nightwing: Love and Bullets, Nightwing: The Hunt For Oracle are thenew editions. Continuing from there the older editions are:Nightwing: Big Guns, Nightwing: On the Razor’s Edge, Nightwing: YearOne, Nightwing: Mobbed Up, Nightwing: Renegade, Nightwing: Brothersin Blood, Nightwing: Love and War, Nightwing: The Lost Year,Nightwing: Freefall.
-Batman Knightfall: One of the classicBatman stories, in which the main bad is the villain Bane, whoseriously injures Bruce. This story spans three GNs: Broken Bat, WhoRules The Night, and Knightsend
-Batman Cataclysm: Another classic. Amassive earthquake hits Gotham and decimates the city. This can befound in one GN, thought look for what I think is the 2012 edition ofthe book not the one one as they included a lot of previous cut storyin the newer edition.
-Batman No Man’s Land: FollowsCataclysm. Essentially Gotham is covered in rubble and a massiveterritory war breaks out between BatFam, GSPD, and several separategroups of Gotham’s baddies. It spans 4 super thick GNs in the 2012newer edition (don’t bother with the older editions) but also has areally enjoyable novelization if you would prefer to read it inwritten format!
-Batman Hush: Essentially Bruce vs Hushand sometimes Clayface, and a story that unintentionally set up JuddWinick to bring Jason back to life lol…one GN in more recenteditions but was previously 2 smaller GNs. I do not know if there isa difference but generally larger book versions have a bit extra inthem.
-Batman Under the Red Hood: Jasonreturns as the Red Hood, sending Bruce on an emotional rollercoaster, while Joker and Black Mask end up roped in. Lots of peopleinvolved. Like Hush this come in one or two book format. I have thesingle book format. This story was adapted into an animated movie,one that also takes a few moments from “A Death In The Family”,but the beginning part was highly modified to make it a stand alonefilm, so several key details are removed. I do recommend watching themovie, but after reading both “A Death In The Family” and thecomic version of “Under The Red Hood”, so you get the fullexperience.
-Batman War Crimes, War Drums, and WarGames (WG is three GNs long): this connects into both Robin and RedHood. This is unfortunately where Stephanie (Spoiler, brief Robin IV,Batgirl) “dies” and there’s a massive war against Black mask.It’s five GNs total.
I pretty much have to recommend anyBatman Titled GN that comes after that as it goes more into Hush,Damian comes in and there’s a lot of plot to cover there, Bruce“dies” and the mantle is picked up by Dick, and it was a heck ofride until the reboot happened.
Outside of main Batman titles aroundthat time I have to HIGHLY recommend the following:-Batmanand Robin: Basically Dick and Damian’s team-up book series. Itspanned three GN with Morrison, and one after him totaling four. Wealso got more Jason here, and his sorta Batgirl type sidekickSasha/Scarlet. Admittedly it was weird because Morrison thought itwould be fun to give Jason red hair (something the main version ofJason never had, but had in issues for another version of Jason thatwas scrapped before any issues I mentioned in this post) and bulk himup. But if you can gt around that the actual plot on the Jason endwasn’t too bad and had some gems. But the Dick and Damian interactionand banter is the treasure here.
-Batman Streets Of Gotham: Again moreof Dick and Damian as Batman and Robin. But here we get Thomas Elliot(Hush) who surgically had his face changed to look like Bruce, and hefill Bruce’s public role under very close watch. We also get Damian’slittle friend Colin Wilkes (Abuse) who ends up close to him. He turnsinto a giant bulky rage man good guy :)
-Red Robin: Tim’s new solo series thatstarted after Damian took up being Robin and Dick went from Nightwingto being Batman. It’s 4 GNs long and was amazing. I can’t stress thatenough. I still mourn it ending. You get Tim on his own, you get himgoing up against/working with/outsmarting/impressing Ra’s al Ghul.You get Prudence Wood, one of Ra’s assassins that ends up liking andworking with Tim. You get Tam Fox, and Stephanie, and Conner Kent.
-Batgirl Vol3 (Stephanie Brown asBatgirl): Stephanie came back from faking her death, took back upSpoiler, only for Tim to demand she stop being Spoiler. He shouldhave been more specific, and she DOES drop Spoiler but then becomesBatgirl with previous Batgirl’s (Casandra) blessing lol. Spanned 24issues in three GNs but they are hard to find. Obviously there isCasandra’s run as Batgirl but i’ve never actually read it so I findit wrong of me to suggest it before I have so it’s up to you if youwant to hunt those down as well. But Casandra’s run was 73 issuesVol-1 (7 GN) sand 6 issues Vol-2 (which is in a single GN)
-Teen Titans Vol3 (Tim, Conner, Bart,etc) spans twelve GNs and had its ups and downs, but if you’re a teamfan this is a good series to read.
-Catwoman: A few different runs, andsome stand alone books. They’re all good pre-reboot. Read them ifyou’re a Catwoman fan :)
Now as far as books NOT in the main runof pre-reboot comics I also REALLY need to recommend the following:
Batman Year One: Bruce’s first year asBatman. Also Gordon’s first year on the job. One GN. Awesome and alsoadapted into an animated movie.
-Robin Year One & Batgirl Year One:These come in separate books or both in one big book. The Robin inmention is Dick and the Batgirl is Barbara. Both are fantasticstories.
-Huntress Year One: Huntress’ originstory. This is the Huntress that is NOT Bruce’s daughter from anotherEarth, this is the Mob associated one that was also featured in theTV series Arrow.
Superboy / Robin World’s Finest Three:two tiny GNs that tell the story of Tim and Conner’s first meeting.They end up going against Metallo and Poison Ivy.
JLA: World Without Grown-ups: This is astory spanning again two tiny GNs. Where Tim (Robin), Conner(Superboy), and Bart (Impulse, later known as Kid Flash) team up whensuddenly all the adults are in one dimension and all the underagepeople are in another.
Red Hood: The Lost Days: the story ofwhat happened between Jason’s resurrection and when he came back toGotham in Under The Red Hood. It’s one GN.
There are also some alternate universe stories that came out pre-reboot called Elseworld’s stories. Here are some good ones:
Batman:Brotherhood of the Bat: Alternate Universe what-if type story. Thisstory is if Talia had joined Bruce in Gotham and abandoned her fatherRa’s and his ways. The story is centered around their son, TallantWayne. This was an AU created before Damian entered the comics andthus one of many stories where Bruce and Talia’s son had a differentname. Bruce is dead and Tallant has to face his grandfather. This wasone thin GN but did have a sequel…
Batman: League ofBatmen: takes place after the above and spans two GNs to finish thestory.
Thrillkiller Batgirl & Robin: 3 issue AU where Barbara and Dick are the first vigilantes in Gotham in the 1960′s and go up against a FEMALE Joker. Bruce is a legit Detective. Every bit of this story is PAINTED and it’s amazing. It is followed up by a sequel.
Thrillkiller ‘62: Takes place where the above left off. But now Bruce is Batman alongside ‘Batgirl’. I won’t spoil the events of the above to give goo detail here lol.
Superman: Speeding Bullets: AU where Baby Kal-El crashes into Earth, where he is discovered by Thomas and Martha Wayne. The couple decide to adopt Kal-El, and name him Bruce. Fuses the two characters together. Thomas and Martha still die. “Bruce” becomes a flying Batman and later Superman.Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: Pretty much the most popular and longest AU that DC did. Spans 1 thick GN or multiple tiny ones. Not the greatest of art/setup but still good. Think of this as an AU Future Fic taking place after Jason died and Bruce retired instead of Tim coming along. Then he comes out of retirement to be a total badass. I do NOT however recommend any of the sequels or prequels because they are just BAD. This was adapted into TWO animated films which I honestly think I recommend more than the GNs due to the art.Post Reboot we hit the New 52. It had its up and downs. Nothing BatFam was particularly terrible but very little was amazing. personally the first 4-6 volumes of GNs for any given series was worth a read but not necessarily a buy. I read all the BatFam titles and the only ones that were MEH for me were Catwoman and Teen Titans. Red Hood and the Outlaws wasn’t for everyone, but I personally enjoyed it other than some details like Jason suddenly having magic??? and Kori having some personality issues but I was glas she wasn’t ditzy if that makes sense, and I really loved her character design even if I wish she at least had a touch more clothing on (once she was in a space suit and it was amazing). Suicide Squad isn’t technically BatFam but it had Harley in it in the New 52 and it was amazing even if I hated her visual re-design. Talon was a branch off of a Batman story line, and a specific character got his own title that spanned 2 GNs and was enjoyable.
Past that any Gns involving Batman The Animated Series are great, so are the Young Justice GNs.
I also have a huge love for the Batman Beyond show and Comics, but after the reboot they messed that up too.
