evewithanappleI had a blast thinking of nominations for the theme this year, and I know for a fact that I nominated way more fandoms than I ended up requesting. Which is to say, I love this whole theme, and am very excited to see whatever you end up making!
Music preferences: honestly, I listen to everything from showtunes to R&B to 1950s pop music. (My most recently added artists on iTunes are Imagine Dragons, the Boomtown Rats, The Greatest Showman, and Joan Baez, so that should give you an idea.) My only preference is for music with lyrics, but that's not a hard and fast rule.
The Girl from the Well - Rin Chupeco
Being that I love horror movies, and Ringu specifically, this book was practically made for me. Obviously it pulls far more from traditional Japanese mythology than it does modern horror, but it's also impossible to read it without thinking of those famous movie visuals. I love the whole concept of a onryō starting to re-enter the human world, but I also love Okiku as an avenger, so anything about her character would be great!
Stigmata (1999)
Ah, my favourite hot mess of a movie. I love the premise (an atheist suddenly becoming a prophet figure/vessel) and I love the characters, I'm just . . . not crazy about the ultimate direction the movie took it in. So if you wanted to focus on Frankie as a messianic character, or Frankie/Andrew, I'd love that.
Perfect Creature (2006)
I love the worldbuilding of this movie, the general steampunk-y vibe that also has a heavy religious aspect. Really anything from this movie would make me happy - a focus on the Brotherhood, a focus on Lilly, a focus on Silus/Lilly, et cetera.
Robin Hood (1973)
I loved this movie as a child, and honestly still do now. A vid capturing the nostalgic fun of it, or one that hinges on the generosity/socialist aspects would be wonderful.
Lost Boys (1987)
I was actually just introduced to this movie a few weeks ago (I know, I know, I'm years behind) and loved the campy silliness of it all. I'd especially like a vid focusing on the vampires, or on David/Michael (or David/Michael/Star.) Don't be afraid to get goofy with the music choice! I personally think this is a movie that would pair well with classic Oingo Boingo.
The Hexslinger Series - Gemma Files
I love, love, love, love these books - I especially love the characters (my favourite is Chess, but I also love Ed and Yancey and Songbird and Yiska, and . . . basically everyone who ends up on on Team Hex City. I even love Rook, even though he's terrible) so I'd be super pleased with a character-based vid. (Also, if you need help finding visual sources, I know for a fact that the author was inspired in part by the 2007 version of 3:10 to Yuma; Ben Foster really does look like Chess.)
The Exorcist (TV)
I love 1) exorcism stories, 2) homoerotic priests, 3) women/LGBT people/people of colour taking centre stage in horror narratives, so this whole show is basically my catnip. I'd really like a vid about Marcus and Tomas's relationship, Marcus in general, or the Kim family and the stuff they endure together. (My personal favourite is Verity, especially her relationship with Harper, but I also adore Shelby.)
