Hi~
I am the author of the first free vampire audiobook on the internet, Forever Fifteen. My singing alter-ego is a fantasy character named Queenie, an alternate-universe geisha.
The Continuation of Sarah Williams is my first and only fanfic. I wrote it in a week's time and I'm still not sure what came over me or why I did it.
When I was in my teens--yes, I'm frickin' OLD!! LMAO--the Labyrinth movie came out. It flopped, actually, then re-gained status as the cult classic it was always destined to become.
As a girl, I thought David Bowie was sort of hot, but my heart already belonged to another, and that was Sting. Sting. Oh YES. I had a Sting poster, I listened to Nothing Like the Sun about 6000 times on my record player, the same record player that I imagine Sarah to have in my version of her continuation.
Because for all you people born after 1980, I will reveal a fact. Before the time of cellphones and iPods the size of paper clips, there used to be these giant plastic discs called RECORDS. These archaic artifacts were bigger than your head. One needed an equally archaic plug-in machine with a needle to play them. Seriously. It was like medieval times or something! Can you imagine? A needle!
The Labyrinth movie never seemed complete to me: there was something very melancholic and unresolved when that white owl flew away and the credits rolled over the moonscape of Sarah's suburban homeland. it is evident that the writers here are in agreement with my assessment.
I hope you enjoy my take.
The Continuation of Sarah Williams by Queenie
Rating: T (Reviews - 0)After her Labyrinth adventure, Sarah's life has become a sad shadow of its former self. She knows that choosing her baby brother's life over her own with Jareth was the right thing to do, but the aftermath of reneging upon her childhood dreams sits heavily upon her soul. Sarah's dreams are haunted by memories of her time in Jareth's world. When a mysterious spellbook shows up on her bookshelf, she wonders if her old friends are trying to contact her. As her father lays dying of cancer, Sarah wonders how much of the Labyrinth came from her head. But as someone once said, anything is possible . . .
