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 )

Today was meant to be Last Battle-day, but I just can't do it, so I'm going to shuffle the order around and do that tomorrow.

Instead, today, have some Susan icons! Only 11, which is really funny because I took a screencap of literally (literally. I am not misusing the word.) every time she was on screen for the first hour and 20 minutes of LWW.  Then...I got tired.  And then of course actually making them took way longer than I thought, and a lot of my caps were blurry/no good...but I'm pretty happy with the ones I've ended up with.

I tried to show a range of Susans, and I think it worked out. More to come, hopefully!

I missed yesterday (well, I could have done it, but I was tired.) so I'll be doing two days today! It works out pretty easily, actually, because Susan.2 and Susan.3 are HHB and PC, both of which have dramatically less Pevensies than LWW.

( HHB: look, I just love Susan no matter what Lewis tries to say )

I....okay, actually, I don't really love the title of it. I think that, especially considering how it's been opened to any woman character, it's almost limiting to say 'that fandom hates.'  This is also me preferring the happy road.  Basically, it's a week-long glorious homage to a female character you choose, and I sort of wish it would just be called something more like 'We Love The Women of Fandom," but no matter, no matter, I'm super glad it's happening!

I considered branching out into Game of Thrones or picking an SPN lady, but in the end I just went tried-and-true and signed up for Susan Pevensie.  I haven't Susaned in a while and with the awesome NFE fics I've been feeling a re-surge of Narnia love, so it should be very very fun to post seven days of Susan.
