abnormal, as expected

Anyone who follows me on Twitter already knows that I wrote this, because I was begging and pleading for a beta, since the fandom is so tiny and the first response to the hippo request in the Yuletide chat was "They remade that? Bad idea." THANKS SO MUCH.

I know there are people that have a lot of very strong feelings about The Prisoner, and that's okay. That really is. It's awesome. The original was anarchic and challenging and surreal and frequently terrifying in its examination of identity, and the remake/reinvention is a very different beast - and that's okay too. Personally, I adored the 2009 remake, and not just for Ian McKellen, Hayley Atwell, Ruth Wilson and Jamie Campbell Bower (though admittedly they didn't hurt). I won't say much more about how the concept was changed and reinvented in case there are people who haven't seen it and still want to (I'll lend you DVDs, I really will), but don't think of it as a remake, take it on its own merits, and it's really rather fascinating.

So yes, all that preamble is to say that I wrote only one fic for Yuletide this year (though I'm eyeing up the requests list for potential treats, especially for Husbands and Eternal Law), and it was for the 2009 remake of The Prisoner. It's very short, for me, but it's trying to look at the effect of constant monitoring, constructed personality, living with the expectation of others, and a hint of personal rebellion.

My recipient was awesome and wonderful and wrote the most LOVELY DYA letter, which basically gave me license to write almost anything and was reassuring and just perfect. Thank you, Bakcheia!
