Any bets on when the first woobie!Sweeny Todd fic appears?

It hasn't already?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Oh, probably. Try not to think about it.

[wolfy-writing.livejournal.com]

I read bits of a fic where Mort Rainey from Secret Window had his long-lost Mary Sue daughter turn up to 'save' him from Shooter. After that, I kind of figured every character played by Johnny Depp will get multiple Mary Sues to comfort his inner woobie.

There's woobie-Sue fic for Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Because God hates us and wants us to suffer.

There are no words!...

Um.

*wipes hard drive*

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

:D LOVE!

[nitasee.livejournal.com]

What? Is this a subtle plea from you for us to write some?

Why, it would never occur to me to write Sweeney Todd fic. *blinks eyes innocently*

[robanybody.livejournal.com]

Really, it hasn't happened yet?

[iamstillthemoon.livejournal.com]

Explain woobie, plz?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Sure! Woobie, woobification, etc. Making a character who is, say, a sociopath, psychobath, or generally irredeemable and making him into a small fluffy bunny of mushy goobage, often via the power of Mary Sue's twue wuv. Works in The Phantom of the Opera, since that's kind of the point of the story. Does not work in fanfic with Sweeny Tood, Hannibal Lecter, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Jason, Freddie, or Pyramid Head.

There are other sorts of woobie-ism, but if I think about it too long my cortex hurts.

[iamstillthemoon.livejournal.com]

Pfft. I figured as much.

...people try to woobiefy Pyramid Head? But he doesn't even TALK. How can you...what the fucking hell, really.

PS. Is there a reason you haven't friended me back? I just saw it on my page and was uncertain. :X

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Pyramid Head. Seriously. He just wants love, you know.

:( Well, I did, way back when you first friended me. Unfortunately, the first post or two were you arguing with your Mom, or something, as teenagers do, and...right now, I would give about anything to have a mom to argue with.

This does not mean I think you're bad for doing it, or that you're not welcome here, or anything like that. I don't, and you are. It's more like someone who's a total arachnophobe clicking on a journal and seeing, "OMG you guys the spider ranch is going sooooo well! They're so big and hairy! We're talking about adding a mantis barn in the spring." D:

So I had to unfriend because I really like not crying.

But I'll make a deal with you. If, for some reason, there's anything you really need me to read, e-mail me, and I promise I will. Good?

[iamstillthemoon.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's fine. I'm sort of past that with my mum right about now though. I just had a really bad week with a sexual predator. That's about it!

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Dude, JESUS FUCK! Are you okay?

[iamstillthemoon.livejournal.com]

I will be, once I can get his voice and smell out of my mind. I can laugh about it now, though, and that's fine. But I think I can write Skinn3r a bit better than I could before...

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear God, I'm so sorry. Ew. Ew. Ew. Just ew. Smell memories are AAAAAAAGH. Um...non-threatening hug?

I remember when I was in junior high, this really drunk friend of the family insisted on shoving Jolly Ranchers in my coat pocket because "little girls should have candy." I was utterly creeped out and disgusted, and at the same time wondered what on earth I'd done to make him think I wanted him to do that. People later tried to assure me that he was a nice guy, really, and didn't mean anything. NO. NOT NICE. NO.

[iamstillthemoon.livejournal.com]

Oh hell yeah. He tried to blame it on ME. Seriously. He's a douchebag, and he's not a nice guy, and that's all there is to it.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Oh HELL no!

I own a large selection of hammers, should you need one.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

You mean the one where Sweeney blasts Evanescence and cuts himself because he's so overwhelmed by the realization that Johnny Depp CAN'T FUCKING SING? (And Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett? Uh, no. Sorry.)

A reason I have not dipped toe one into the Narnia side of the fandom pool.

"Oh, Tash, take me in your arms!"

[very-improbable.livejournal.com]

I also vote for "surely it already exists."

After I saw Mr. White/Mr. Orange schmoop, I stopped being surprised.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Mr. White/Mr. Orange schmoop

Well, now I have to kill myself. Nice knowing you guys!

[iamstillthemoon.livejournal.com]

I stopped being surprised a long, LONG time ago. Hitman Mary Sues...Bible fic...

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Bible fic is nothing new. Ask that nice old Mr. Milton. Well, he's kind of crazy, so go through his daughter.

[pandonkey.livejournal.com]

I have to agree that it surely must exist already. But now with 55% more sex!

...I suppose, to a certain extent, the Bond play (and therefore the musical) is just slightly a woobie!fic of the original penny dreadful.

Another grave concern: the woobification of Judge Turpin. This Christmas, the Christ child will WEEP.
