Summary
In what can only be described as a clinically inadvisable act of literary devotion, I’ve written 31 Supercorp one-shots, each based solely on the bridge of a different track from Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. It is essentially a coping mechanism with a word count (223,000) ‘cause if I don’t transmute obsessive thought into narrative structure, I begin to fray at a molecular level.
The focus on the bridges is because that's where people tend to say what they mean. Also because I have a well-documented allergy to emotional stability and a pendant for yearning. I like to think this is what happens when you intellectualise heartbreak until it metastasises into plot.
My personal favourites (in no particular order) are the following:
- Tortured Things (Based on The Tortured Poets Department)
- The Flocking Pattern (Based on So Long, London)
- Hey Darling (Based on Fresh Out The Slammer)
- The Theory Of Almost (Based on Guilty As Sin?)
- Loss (Love) (Based on loml)
- Obsolescence (Based on Clara Bow)
- Hell Is A Pub in Vauxhall (Based on The Black Dog)
- Soft Light (Based on So High School)
- Quiet (Based on The Bolter)- Words:
- 223,000
