[bironic]

I think it will come as a surprise to exactly no one who visited remixredux08 that I was the sad soul behind the 300-line mock-epic House remix, OMG so much work and I loved it.

Title: A Princeton Odyssey (Alexander Pope Is Turning In His Grave Remix)
Characters: House, Wilson, Cuddy
Summary: A night on the town, in heroic couplets.
Rating: PG
Warnings: May leave you thinking in iambic pentameter. Otherwise, none.
Spoilers: None
Word Count: 2,600 (ca. 330 lines)
Original story: Three Sheets to the Wind by joe_pike_junior
A/N: Thanks to synn and moonlash_cc for cheerleading as this came together bit by bit, and to joe_pike_junior, in whose story this one lurked.


O Muse! do sing to me of 'Ventures grand,
The great and glorious Exploits in the Land
Of Princeton, where resides our Hero true:
A Man with Razor Tongue and Eyes of Blue
Who makes Fun of the Morons, heals the Sick,
Outwits Disease with Mind and Med'cine quick,
Annoys his Friends by acting like a Dick,
Delights in fig'ring out what makes Men tick,
Lives by the Credo that Ev'ryone lies,
And swells with Pride each time a Patient cries.
...


And because I love talking about myself and House and writing and poetry all at once, I whipped up a DVD commentary on the writing process.

Now, off to see who's who, respond to feedback, and, er, do some legitimate work.

That was the most epic Epic I've read in some time, and given that I've just emerged from a 16th Century Literature course, that's saying something. Loved the commentary, too--man, I just love commentaries, period, because it's so cool to know where stuff came from.

Thank you! Just a little proof that epics aren't dead yet. :)

It was very cool to find out about the play that inspired your remix, too. I wish I had more time to go check it out. One day....
