The Picture of Dorian Gray - Not Found/Does Not Exist

[lastglances.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know of any stories that have the QaF characters in a story similar to Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray? It makes a bit of sense given Brian's obsession with youth and beauty.

Haven't seen any but that's an interesting idea. I wouldn't want Justin to die in the story though, lol.

i was thinking justin as the artist who paints the portrait, of course, but he'd definitely have to be live at the end, haha.

Of course, definitely. Creative license has to be taken. Maybe Dorian reforms this time and he can reverse the portrait.

creative license would be a must.

great, now i'm thinking of just writing a story about it myself.

I wouldn't want to read about a BAD Justin - even if he does reform at the end. Why not a good and innocent Justin, who doesn't realize his painting is the cause of his unnatural youthfulness and when he finally does find out - he uses his 'ability' at the end, to return Brian to his glorious youth so that they can live happily ever after.
Ahem, I only talk a lot but can some prolific writer out there do the honors, thanks.

i think one of the biggest elements in such a story would be using the basis of the dorian gray storyline and then changing it enough that it's something entirely new - that, to me, would make it a worthwhile story to read and it would most likely involve going away from the destruction of dorian at the end.

Please update your post to note that fic doesn't exist, or is not found. Thanks.
