Fandom (of original text): Narnia
Fandom (of erasure): N/A
Note: I was super excited to get Winged as my assignment, because not only is she a prolific writer, but she is prolific with beautiful words and original ideas. There was no question for me of working with anything but "Fantasies," which is probably my favorite ever of her stories; I love the concept of Narnia being, truly, nothing more than a series of games the Pevensies played as children, and in doing this erasure what I found coming out of it for me was this terrific sense that it doesn't matter if it's just a story (as, of course, it is for all of us) - the feelings and experiences turn out to be the same either way, and I loved seeking out Susan's journey and experience and it turning out to contain just as much turmoil and beauty and SUSAAAAAAN-ness as it does when we are taking Narnia as a lived experience rather than a made-up story.
Apologies both to Winged and to Z for this being so late!
( the spare room when we stayed was empty )
