Challenge 039

[foxrafer.livejournal.com]

inspired from a challenge provided by lise_ann

What would happen if an actor had been cast in another part in his or her television show or movie?
(For example, what if Orlando Bloom had been cast as Faramir, as he had originally auditioned, and not Legolas in Lord of the Rings.) Would his/her relationships on the show/film be different? How would their career be affected? Could be a character study through this different lens or a focus on a specific relationship that developed during filming. Conversely, take two fictional characters and swap their roles? Maybe Catherine Willows was Grissom's supervisor from the beginning. Or perhaps Faramir went to Rivendell instead of his brother. What would happen?

The deadline: September 9, 2009

Any fandom, any genre; real and fictional person pairings; slash, gen or het; fics, graphics, or videos. The goal is to inspire creation of any stripe and color. And most importantly, have fun.

If this interests or intrigues you, if you think you'd like to play around with the theme, or if you already have an idea that's just itching to be realized, please comment to this post to express your interest. This doesn't commit you to creating something based on this challenge; it just gives us an idea about what things the community members find most compelling.

Questions? Some may be answered on the profile page. Otherwise, please contact me or stormatdusk.

Oh, this sounds really interesting, I'd forgotten about this trope and hope I can think of something good to write.

I hope so too. :-) It's an interesting idea to think about, from many different angles.
