Fic Thoughts

So, guys, what if the Weeping Angels from Dr Who were in Narnia/came from Narnia?  Because, because...something happened and so they didn't actually get woken up when Aslan de-stonified everybody (maybe because they would be dead of old age by that point or something).  So basically Jadis magic-spawned a whole new race (they all turned human-women-looking and grew wings, yeah hello plot-hole, I see you), and that's why they're weeping, and they go around throwing people back in time because they wish they could go back in time themselves and not get stonified. Petrified. Whatever.
OR it's the remnants of Charn.  The Deplorable Word turned them all into psychopathic but nice killers with crazy time manipulation skillz.
Basically what I'm saying here is that I want the Doctor to cross paths with Narnia lots more.

Then, I'm writing Narnian (world) religious history, and for most of it I'm just making it up however I darn well please, because it's fun, but one thing I wanted to run by all y'all.  What do we think about the Lone Islands in terms of contact with Narnia during the Winter?  My vote is for isolation, because I want them to be incubating a basic Aslan-based religious culture whereas in Narnia during that time they add a bunch of gods/spirits because they need to pray for as much help as they can get, plus also the prophecies seem to say that Aslan has peaced-out until Adam's flesh and blood (holy henna, what if Aslan/the Emperor zapped Adam's literal flesh and blood onto those thrones? Ew.) arrives, and yeah.  But anywho, does it seem plausible that the Witch would have just left off at the shores of Narnia and not tried for the conquering of the islands?  Except, she calls herself Empress, I think...

Skinny thread! Difficult to reply to!

You write it, rth. I will read. And be awed.

That's just the thing with Susan. It's not the nylons and lipsticks and whatnot that I struggle with; it's her becoming a vain, vapid, foolish girl who can't think beyond the next party. Because so often that's the portrayal you see when Susan stays in England. Because you can live in the world and still be something more; it's not an all or nothing thing. (And part of this is vanity on my part, you understand. Consider this my declaration of: "Susan Pevensie! You will not become a vain and vapid girl after all the hard work I've put into making myself like you!" Vanity of vanities...)

I would love to waste time on Skype and in chat... alas. In the summer, it will be better. So I tell myself. Because I know that I'm missing out on these lovely conversations...

Yes. Amen to all of the above. (waaah, stupid sleep; I missed what sounds like a great chat tonight)
