A nerd babbles about her favorite geek stuff, including but not limited to;
Star Wars
Anime
Marvel
D.C.
Sportball, but not really
German Politics
Life of Becky, a comic I draw
Those cheesy parody movies like Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest
Mythbusters
M...
So I was watching some Hamilton parodies on YouTube, trying to convince my friend that Star Wars is cool.

And my little parody-writing mind immediately picked up on something I find absolutely coincidental.
Remember Isabelle, from the last chapter? You should, unless your name is Dory or you TL;DR'd. Hopefully you do. But anyway, she has something really neat in common with the founding father without a father.
Yes.
ISABELLE TANO-ELRIC
has the same number of syllables as
ALEXANDER HAMILTON
That number happens to be seven, not including middle names. Go ahead, clap it out, I'll wait.
That makes it ridiculously easy to write a parody, if the book ends up being a hit.
But that musical would be super dark. Like, seriously, a guy literally gets decapitated, a couple of kids end up unconscious in about six inches of their own blood, and one character admits they're glad their parents are most likely dead. And don't get me started on the fact that the whole plot revolves around the protagonist's parents not being a part of her life and her father-figure dying (not a spoiler, that happens pretty early on.)
Here's a teaser:
How does a half-ling, cyborg, child of a Jedi and a 'dead' man, taught to control her temper, trained by her mother's master's master, knows right from wrong, Light from Dark, with a heavy heart, grow up to be a (redacted for spoilers)?
But seriously if you guys want a musical based on the book, I would totally do it. It's just I can't read sheet music, so it'll mostly be parodies... hmm, I wonder if I can incorporate 'Candarian Demons' or 'I Want it That Way.' They're pretty awesome songs.
