Have you ever had one of those times when you started to create something that was going to be small, and it decided to grow out of control?
I was going to make a music video for Harvey from Farscape, centering around his perspective on the events of "Infinite Possibilities". I wrote out the outline, chose the music, started adding slides and clips...
...and then realized that what I was creating was turning into something more like a mini-episode.

"Well, I think, like religion, whether to make an episode about me or not is a personal choice. Either you don't want to, in which case, continuing to work on it is unnecessary, or you do, in which case... chocolate?"
At first, I wasn't sure how to feel about that. If the video gets too long, will people want to watch it?
But then, Harvey never does get an episode of his own. Which is very regrettable, because he's an interesting character in an unusual and rather tragic situation. So much missed potential there.
Sure, what I'm creating won't quite have the production values of a Farscape episode. I don't have a million bucks to throw at it, or Wayne Pygram to voice Harvey's musings. (Though, I know YouTube has someone who's gotten good at vocally impersonating Scorpius; maybe I should recruit him.)
All the same, I think it's turning out pretty well. It's kind of like a cross between a music video and a fanfic, and it pulls on all the right heartstrings. In some ways, creating it has been kind of a saddening experience; it's a deep dive into the mind of a very lonely neuroclone. So if you enjoy sympathetic fanfics about characters whose viewpoints aren't explored much in-series, I think you'll like this.
What do you think? Would you enjoy a fan-made Harvey mini-sode?
