You know that Tumblr post that suggests Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was basically throwing shade at her husband and other literary douchebags by writing Frankenstein: The New Prometheus?

AU where Victor's sweetheart finds out about the monster early on and basically adopts and raises him while leaving Victor in the cold: A very unsubtle allegory for fandom/fanfiction when TPTB are fucking asswipes.

Tell me I shouldn't. I probably won't anyway, because Work, but still.

I really like this idea and would love to read it. If you decide to write it, I will totally support you.

(As an English literature major I had to read a lot of stuff by literary douchebag men.)

I am seriously tempted, and if I ever do, I'll be sure you get a copy :)

(Sounds about right, urgh.)

First comes more ML fanfic. Then I need to re-read the original, and then I'll think about it some more.

Possible title (without looking up more Greek mythology): The New Echidna.
