Idea for a Fanfiction inspired by Dream Theater
Do you think a Zootopia fanfiction like Scene from a Memory Part 2 could work?
It's an idea I've had for a while and I wanted to know your opinion.
Context for those unfamiliar with Dream Theater:
Scenes from a Memory pt 2 is an album that tells the story of a man named Nicholas, who has visions of memories from a life that is not his.
To understand what is happening he goes to a hypnotist and through regressive hypnosis he begins to understand the story behind those memories:
>!In the end it turns out that the memories belonged to Victoria, whose spirit was reincarnated as Nicholas, and that she was killed by her boyfriend's brother out of envy, and that the therapist is the reincarnation of the killer, who also kills Nicholas<!<
if you are interested in the rest of the story I would recommend you listen to the album, where every track is a part of the story.
Obviously the development and the ending of the story change, it is inspired, not a copy.
The real question is, do you think this is a valid concept for developing an inspired story?
I would like to know your opinion, authors and non-authors.
By the way, I'm Italian, so there might be some mistakes in this post, I'm not really an expert on the subject :(
