eirenicalWell... looks like I beat you to it, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zoicite. O_o;;; Sorry. Then again, I guess I cheated. Less than 4000 words. ^_^ Of course, there will probably be sequels... O_O;;;
Anyway, here we go. A new day, a new fandom. This was kind of a given once I saw the musical and it was cemented after I saw it three times in one weekend. Of course... my ficcing tendencies didn't go quite in the direction that I was expecting (then again, when do they ever? :P), but I'm pretty happy with where they went, so I'm not complaining.
For those of you who haven't seen either the movie or it's new stage adaptation (and why the hell haven't you? D:), The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is about two drag queens and a transsexual who get on a bus and cross the Australian Outback to get to a gig in Alice Springs -- which is in the back end of nowhere. They get into a series of adventures as they travel, each more ridiculous and unlikely as the next, and in so doing, become a tightly-knit, loving -- if dysfunctional -- family. Tony Sheldon (Bernadette), Will Swenson (Tick) and Nick Adams' (Adam) portrayal of the hapless trio is phenomenal. They are perfect, each and every one of them and I can not recommend this musical enough. ^_^ And if you can't get to NY or London and see the show, at least do yourself a favor and rent the movie. It's pure camp, but it's a beautiful, heart-warming story and I adore it. ^_^
*/end shameless plugging*
Fandom: Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Pairing: Erm... nothing concrete? Mostly gen, believe it or not.
Rating: PG-13 for references to the events in Coober Pedy.
Word Count: 3,961
Warnings: Slash... sort of? Gender-bending and transsexuals, definitely. Allusion to an attack/attempted rape.
Disclaimer: Neither the musical, the movie nor the boys (or girls ^_^) belong to me. If they did they'd be groping each other on sta--. *pause* *blinkblink* Huh. Look at that... they do. *eg* :D ((The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was written by Stephen Elliott and adapted for the stage by Stephen Elliott and Allen Scott.))
Summary: 'There is something about the way he is sitting there, curled up and miserable by the campfire, that provokes an unwilling twang of sympathy from me.' Bernadette's thoughts after Adam's attack in Coober Pedy.
