Okay. Here's the sequence to encounter it:

1. Cheesy pop singer makes confusing video full of EVERY CHEESY FANTASY ROMANCE CLICHE EVAR that looks stuck in the 1980s for fashion, hair, and CG ability.

2. fandom_lounge finds it, comments "I feel like I need an explanation as to why the entire Romance aisle of the bookstore just came alive and try to eat me," sends to the Smart Bitches.

3. The Smart Bitches feature it as their Friday Video. Commenter links to...

4. ...a Tor.com blog, where Megan Messinger has written a Choose Your Own Adventure story based on the video.

ETA: 5. EVEN BETTER! In an interview, pop singer admits to planning to make a manga out of the story!

Enjoy!

Heh. Linked to it a couple days ago -- now I feel like an early adopter, or something. ::is smug::

I'm behind in my Bloglines blog reading due to MARTIAN DEATH COLD. Make of that what you will. XD

Westley called. He says there was a reason the Dread Pirate Roberts wore a mask. Also, he wants he shtick back.

...and he was so strumming on a lime green guitar. I don't know that I've been that disoriented in awhile.

Oh dear lord. I had just recovered from the Bollywood Superman thing, and now you've made my brain go all explodey again. DAMN YOU, WOMAN.

I had seen the video already via a link at Making Light (http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/), but I hadn't seen the interview. And that "Choose your own adventure" story is awesome. Thanks!

.................... I think it's the one, brief shot of an alligator about 2/3rds of the way in that *really* makes it complete. Fantasy! Romance! Witches! ALLIGATOR!

Ha! Number 5! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better.

I think this video would've gone better with "Total Eclipse of the Heart," though.

BRB MUST WRITE CROSSOVER WITH THE ANGEL/MERMAID PORN NOVEL

I'm wondering how many times the woman had to watch the video in order to create the "Choose Your Own Adventure" story...

[versari-girl.livejournal.com]

... is it bad I watched this and suddenly burst into laughter? XD I mean it is so horrible it is actually... almost.... good?

HAHAHAH!
It was scarey how much I can tell where some of the originals might come from... I think I will be comatosed, too.

Oh it was great entertainment...THank you

I have no words, but I am thinking that the video is fantastic, along with all the stuff that has spun-off from it.

...

I've also had this song stuck in my head for over a week D:

EDIT--

I think the 'ship scene' is right from "Interview with the Vampire" :O
