Friending meme

I hope this is okay to post here!

I'm trying to get my LJ back on track and thought it'd be best to get some new friends! And what better way to do that than through a friending meme!?

I'm trying to get some of my favorite fandoms included in this, and feel free to pass it along to some of yours.

You can find the meme over at my journal HERE.


Thanks!
-Jessie

Recommend your Favourite Rent Fics

I'm interested in hearing about what your favourite fics have been. I don't care what length, pairing or genre they are-- just what your favourite stories are, and why. What attracted you to them? Why are they so good?

Recommendations are good too, but what I'm really interested in is your experience as a fan reading fanfiction. As a Renthead, I started out only reading fic, but after having a hard time finding stories that I liked, I started to write (this was not my first time writing, as I had written for other fandoms, but I had originally not intended to write for Rent.) Now, I write more fics than I read because most fics are crap, but I do have a few favourites.

Basically all of the Rent stories by volitaire on fanfiction.net-- she really does her homework, and her stories live. She's sophisticated and funny, but it's when you're laughing hardest that you realize you're sobbing. She has an alternate universe story set in the 1950s that I was hesitant to read at first, but it turned out to be brilliant. You must check out her work (warning: most of her stories are very long.)

And of course, that staple Love Alone by wmmhija, also on ffnet. No explanation needed, as I'm sure you've all read it or heard from other fans who read it and wept. I cry every single time I reread it. The first two times were the best, but it lasts through many rereads.

I have two other favourite stories, but I need to check up on who their author is first, because I forgot.

Cast question

Hey there. I got tickets to the only day I could goto the Rent tour's stop in Toronto, which was Sunday night's performance. I'm just worried. I saw the tour last year in Detroit, while Adam Pascal was out with a back injury. I'm worried because Sunday is a 2-show day (matinee and night), and the matinee is (based on the ticket prices) a more desirable show on Sundays... I'm just worried that one or both of Adam or Anthony (or other main cast) will not be in the show that night.

My question is, is there any precident along this tour: Do the cast (especially Adam and Anthony) tend to take specific days/shows off for rest? Thank you.

Edit: And perhaps a secondary question, on the weekends, where there are two shows a day for both days, have the Adam and Anthony been tending to take some of those shows off? Or have they been doing four weekend most weeks? I guess I just want to know if I should look into trying to get to another show that week if it's likely I might not see them both at the show I have tickets to. I was disappointed to miss Adam in Detroit, and I don't want to miss them again in Toronto.

The Rent Bible I was selling last week is back on eBay! It is signed by Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp, but since I have no certificate of authenticity, I am selling it for retail...AND FREE SHIPPING!!! How cool is that?!

There were many watchers on this item last week, but no one bought it by sale's end, so I made this offer extra sweet by offering free shipping! This won't be relisted, so this is your last chance to get something pretty cool. Here's the direct link, and good luck: http://bit.ly/acczR

Autographed Rent Bible for sale!!!

I have a copy of the Rent bible autographed by Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal for sale. Adam autographed it during a meet and greet for an acoustic show Adam did in 2006. Anthony signed the book at the Wang Centre in Boston during a book signing tour he did to promote his book "Without You". I'm selling this for retail price because I don't have photographic proof that I got this signed. Go here to see this and my other eBay sales: http://myworld.ebay.com/panda_cookie

Rent Fans Give Back Project

Hi fellow Rent fans,

I'm posting to ask for your help with a Rent-related project I started. Rent Fans Give Back is a fund raising project devoted to raising money for Rent-related non-profit Friends In Deed. Friends In Deed, as many of you probably know, is a crisis center in New York which provides free support for individuals dealing with life threatening illnesses like HIV. The group was Mr. Larson’s inspiration for the life support group depicted in Rent.

Donations will be made in honor of the current cast and our final total (along with a list of donors) will be presented to the cast as a final cast gift from Rent fans worldwide. This is your opportunity to be part of this meaningful gift and also to honor the show by giving to a great organization that actively addresses some of the real world issues that Mr. Larson depicted Rent.

For more information and to make a secure donation that will go directly to Friends In Deed, please go to our website, http://rentfansgiveback.weebly.com/index.html, and give what you can by January 15, 2010. If all of us take five minutes of our time to give something, even just $5, we could use our love for the show to raise thousands of dollars for a truly deserving non-profit and give the final cast a gift they'll remember for a long time.

To check out some other publicity about the project, read our article on Broadwayworld.com at http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/RENT_Fans_Give_Back_Project_Honors_13_Years_of_RENT_20090928. Also, Anthony Rapp, who is a Friends In Deed Board member, is very enthusiastic about the project and has been posting about it on Twitter recently.

Thanks in advance,

Alyssa

oldskool Rent scans

Hey all! Just a general heads up - I'm gonna give the axe to my webhosting soon, and I'm letting you all know because my post here of RENT book scans has gotten many hits over the last few years. I thought some of you might like one last chance to download those pictures, so I'm letting you know a few weeks before they disappear. :)

Here is the post with scans from the big Rent book. Here are scans from the souvenir program and Harper's Bazaar. Here are scans from Rolling Stone. Also, direct links for two stray scans: Entertainment Weekly 97 Yearbook, and Adam and Daphne in Vanity Fair.

Enjoy.

New Musicals like RENT?

Hey everyone!
I'm going to new york next month, and usually I go there and see a musical.
I really like rock musicals, and I feel like there is nothing left.

Is there anything like RENT or Spring Awakening, that you could recommend?

I've seen The Producers, Wicked, Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera.

Sorry if this is off topic..

fyi - She was in the touring cast for quite awhile, and now she's starring in the new NBC show Mercy, in case anyone wants to know. She was the first Mimi I ever saw, so I'm extremely happy to see her in this. There have been 2 eppys so far, you can watch them on nbc[dot]com.
