So, now that my spn_j2_x_mas exchange is done, I have to rev up for j2_everafter which is due January 10th. o_0

I was lucky enough to get Peter Pan so the writing of Neverwood should be a lot easier than Garlic and Butter, which took a boatload of research to hammer out properly. And Neverwood is also outright horror - we're talking more along Straub's Ghost Stories or King's The Shining. And since horror is my specialty, Neverwood will be spectacular that way.

So, how come I derived a horror story out of Peter Pan? Quite simple, actually. I'm writing from the POV of the parents. Even though Barrie's work is lovely, there is much darker flip-side to the whole thing: what about mom and dad who were forced to wait day after day for their missing children to return to the nursery? From that perspective, Peter Pan can easily be translated into horror.

Poor JP. I swear, his character never has it easy in my world...
