Dog Man Star: Difference between revisions

'''Dog Man Star''' is a [http://www.bracefacetv.com Braceface]/''Daria'' [[crossover]] fan fiction novel, written by PPMB member [[starmeshelion]]. The novel is notable for being a long form of song fiction (or "album fiction"), as it features twelve episodes which correspond with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britpop Britpop] band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suede_%28band%29 Suede]'s 1994 album ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_Man_Star Dog Man Star']'s twelve songs in their sequencing order. As a general rule, the episodes usually never directly quote the actual song lyrics, and the connection with the songs is more often than not loose and structural rather than pertaining to the song's actual meaning, be it objective or subjective. As such, the genre, style and tone of the novel change drastically as it progresses, going from hardcore fluff through melancholy to a state of mind which the author describes as "violent woolgathering". Most other inspirations for the novel are also musical, not literary.
