Because there’s always more good (?) ideas than there is time, and sometimes an idea isn’t actually good, just funny. So, here’s today’s one:
Jane Austen was born on December 16,1775. Robert Chambers died on December 16, 1933. A common date! Crossover!
But which Austen novel would you use as a base? Pretty obviously, it has to be Mansfield Park. It even has a group of people staging a play, which is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a very unwelcome guest. Who is not wearing a mask! Though surely there’s something that alliterates better than Masque & Masquerade…
So, anyone else got a larp they will never write which they need to get out of their head so they can move on to something else?
sadly it seems like simply giving up writing is the usual end of letter larps (there’s some discussion on The Gauntlet about this as a known failure mode)
